Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This entire report, including (among other items) Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes forward-looking statements (each a “forward-looking statement”) within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or including the words "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "forecast," "propose," "plan," "designed," "estimate," "enable" and similar expressions. Those forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We disclaim any obligation to update those statements, except as applicable law may require us to do so, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based those forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events, which may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers those expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those we discuss in this report under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and the section entitled “Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The factors we discuss in this report are not necessarily all the important factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unknown factors we have not discussed in this report also could have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises. We advise our existing and potential security holders that they should (1) be aware that important factors to which we do not refer in this report could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

Narrative Description of the Business

YRC Freight

YRC Freight offers a full range of services for the transportation of industrial, commercial and retail goods in national, regional and international markets, primarily through the operation of owned or leased equipment in its respective North American ground distribution networks. Transportation services are provided for various categories of goods, which may include (among others) apparel, appliances, automotive parts, chemicals, food, furniture, glass, machinery, metal, metal products, non-bulk petroleum products, rubber, textiles, wood and other manufactured products or components. YRC Freight provides both LTL services, which combine shipments from multiple customers on a single trailer, and truckload services. Most deliveries are LTL shipments with truckload services offered to maximize equipment utilization and reduce empty miles (the distance empty or partially full trailers travel to balance the network). YRC Freight also provides higher-margin specialized services, including guaranteed expedited services, time-specific deliveries, cross-border services, coast-to-coast air delivery, product returns, temperature-sensitive shipment protection and government material shipments.

YRC Freight serves manufacturing, wholesale, retail and government customers throughout North America.

Each of our shared services organizations charges the operating companies for their services, either based upon usage or on an overhead allocation basis.

Recent Developments

In January 2014, we modified our primary labor agreement with our union workforce to, among other things, extend the expiration date of our previous agreement from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2019. This extension also extended the contribution rates under

6

Table of Contents

our multi-employer pension plan. The modification provided for a lump sum payment in lieu of wage increases in 2014 and 2015, but provided for wage increases in 2016 through 2019. Finally, the modification provided for certain changes to work rules and our use of purchased transportation in certain situations.

On January 31, 2014, we consummated a series of private placements pursuant to which: (i) we sold (the “Sales”), in the aggregate, a combination of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and shares of the Company’s new Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million in cash and (ii) certain existing holders of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes”) exchanged or converted their Series B Notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $50.6 million, plus, in the case of exchanged Series B Notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to and including January 15, 2014, for an aggregate of 3,394,501 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Note Exchanges”). We used the proceeds therefrom to, among other things, (i) repay our 6% convertible senior notes, which matured in February of 2014 and (ii) discharge our 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Series A Notes").

In connection with the Series B Note Exchanges, on January 31, 2014, we amended the indenture governing the Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement, which, among other things (i) amended and restated the previously effective Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement, effective as of July 22, 2011 (the “Prior A&R CDA”), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date (as defined therein), (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

On February 13, 2014, we repaid our existing asset-based loan (“ABL”) facility and our term loan with proceeds from a new $450 million ABL facility and a new $700 million term loan facility. These transactions extended the maturity of our credit facilities and will reduce our annual cash interest expense.

We refers to transactions described above collectively as the "2014 Financing Transactions." For additional information, please see the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

Competition

Transportation and logistics professionals use a broad range of providers to meet their supply chain needs in an efficient and cost-effective manner. As one of the leading providers of LTL services in North America, we utilize our portfolio of branded companies to provide freight transportation services that are focused on exceeding client expectations.
Few North American based transportation carriers offer comparable freight management capabilities. By integrating traditional LTL ground, expedited, air and ocean transportation capabilities, we provide a critical freight management link that helps business organizations solve supply chain challenges. Our market studies show that customers prefer using LTL providers based on “service value,” which is the relationship between overall quality and price. We believe that we can compete well against LTL and other transportation services competitors from an overall value perspective.
Our companies operate in a highly competitive environment. Given the growth of U.S. import/export trade, our competitors include global, integrated freight transportation services providers; global forwarders; national freight services providers including intermodal providers; regional or interregional carriers; third party logistics providers; and small, intraregional transportation companies. Our companies also have competitors within several different modes of transportation including: LTL, truckload, air and ocean cargo, intermodal rail, transportation consolidators and privately owned fleets.
Ground-based transportation includes private fleets and "for-hire" provider groups. The private provider segment consists of fleets owned by companies who move their own goods and materials. The "for-hire" groups are classified based on the typical shipment sizes that they handle. Truckload refers to providers transporting shipments that generally fill an entire 48-foot or 53-foot trailer and LTL refers to providers transporting goods from multiple shippers in a single trailer.
LTL transportation providers consolidate numerous shipments generally ranging from 100 to 10,000 pounds from varying businesses at individual service centers in close proximity to where those shipments originated. Utilizing expansive networks of pickup and delivery operations around local service centers, shipments are moved between origin and destination using distribution

7

Table of Contents

centers when necessary, where consolidation and deconsolidation of shipments occur. Depending on the distance shipped, shared load providers are often classified into one of four sub-groups:
Regional - Average distance is typically less than 500 miles with a focus on one- and two-day delivery times. Regional transportation companies can move shipments directly to their respective destination centers, which increases service reliability and avoids costs associated with intermediate handling.
Interregional - Average distance is usually between 500 and 1,000 miles with a focus on two- and three-day delivery times. There is a competitive overlap between regional and national providers in this category, as each group sees the interregional segment as a growth opportunity, and few providers focus exclusively on this sector.
National - Average distance is typically in excess of 1,000 miles with focus on two- to five-day delivery times. National providers rely on intermediate shipment handling through a network of facilities, which require numerous satellite service centers, multiple distribution centers and a relay network. To gain service and cost advantages, they often ship directly between service centers, minimizing intermediate handling.
Global - Providing freight forwarding and final-mile delivery services to companies shipping to and from multiple regions around the world. This service can be offered through a combination of owned assets or through a purchased transportation model.
YRC Freight provides services in all four sub-groups in North America. Holland, New Penn and Reddaway compete in the regional, interregional and national transportation marketplace. Each brand competes against a number of providers in these markets from small firms with one or two vehicles to global competitors with thousands of physical assets. While we have competitors with a similar multi-dimensional approach, there are few in the traditional LTL segment with as comprehensive an offering in those categories as our carriers provide.
Competitive cost of entry into the asset-based LTL sector on a small scale, within a limited service area, is relatively small (although more than in other sectors of the transportation industry). The larger the service area, the greater the barriers to entry, due primarily to the need for additional equipment and facilities associated with broader geographic service coverage. Broader market coverage in the competitive transportation landscape also requires increased technology investment and the ability to capture cost efficiencies from shipment density (scale), making entry on a national basis more difficult.
Regulation

Our operating companies and other interstate carriers were substantially deregulated following the enactment of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act of 1994, the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization of 1994 and the ICC Termination Act of 1995. Prices and services are now largely free of regulatory controls, although the states retained the right to require compliance with safety and insurance requirements, and interstate motor carriers remain subject to regulatory controls that agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation impose.
Our operating companies are subject to regulatory and legislative changes, which can affect our economics and those of our competitors. Among potential regulatory changes are potential revisions to rules governing hours of service for commercial truck drivers and safety programs that could impact the pool of available drivers. Various federal and state agencies regulate us, and our operations are also subject to various federal, foreign, state, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations dealing with transportation, storage, presence, use, disposal and handling of hazardous materials, emissions related to the use of petroleum based fuels, discharge of storm-water and underground fuel storage tanks. Our drivers and facility employees are protected by occupational safety and health regulations and our drivers by hours of service regulations. We are also subject to regulations to combat terrorism that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other agencies impose. See the Risk Factors section related to our compliance with laws and regulations in Item 1A of this report.
Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to U.S. federal, foreign, state, provincial and local regulations with regard to air and water quality and other environmental matters. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with these regulations. Regulations in this area continue to evolve and changes in standards of enforcement of existing regulations, as well as the enactment and enforcement of new legislation or regulation, may require us and our customers to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities or to change or discontinue present methods of operation.
Our operating companies store fuel for use in our revenue equipment in approximately 288 underground storage tanks (“USTs”) located throughout the U.S. Maintenance of such USTs is regulated at the federal and, in some cases, state level. The USTs are

8

Table of Contents

required to have leak detection systems and must be extracted if we exit the property. Traditionally upon sale of properties containing USTs, the UST is considered an asset in the transaction and, as such, we contractually transfer this removal obligation to the buyer, or remove the UST at closing at the Buyer's expense.
During 2013, we spent approximately $7.9 million to comply with U.S. federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment (collectively, “Environmental Regulations”). In 2014, we expect to spend approximately $8.1 million to comply with the Environmental Regulations. Based upon current information, we believe that our compliance with Environmental Regulations will not have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position because we have either made adequate reserves for such compliance expenditures or the cost for such compliance is expected to be small in comparison with our overall expenses.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (known as the “Superfund Act”) imposes liability for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. Superfund liability is imposed without regard to fault and even if the waste disposal was in compliance with then current laws and regulations. With the joint and several liabilities imposed under the Superfund Act, a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) may be required to pay more than its proportional share of such environmental remediation. Several of our subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs at various sites discussed below. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and appropriate state agencies are supervising investigative and cleanup activities at these sites. The EPA has identified the former Yellow Transportation (now a part of YRC Freight) as a PRP for three locations: Angeles Chemical Co., Santa Fe Springs, CA; Alburn Incinerator, Inc., Chicago, IL and Omega Chemical, Whittier, CA. We estimate that the combined potential costs at these sites will not exceed $0.2 million. With respect to these sites, it appears that YRC Freight delivered minimal amounts of waste to these sites, which is de minimis in relation to other respondents. The EPA has identified the former Roadway Express (now a part of YRC Freight) as a PRP for three locations: Ward Transformer, Raleigh, NC; Roosevelt Irrigation District, Phoenix, AZ and Berry's Creek, Carlstadt, NJ. We estimate that the potential cost for the Ward Transformer site to be $0.4 million. The EPA has notified YRC Inc. and 140 other potential parties of their potential responsibility status at the Berry's Creek site where YRC Freight owns and operates a service center in the watershed area that discharges into Berry's Creek. We estimate the Berry's Creek potential cost to be $0.6 million. Roosevelt Irrigation District has notified YRC Freight and other potential parties of their responsibility for remediation of contaminated groundwater wells. We estimate YRC Freight's potential cost for Roosevelt Irrigation District to be $0.6 million. The EPA has identified USF Red Star, a non-operating subsidiary, as a PRP at three locations: Booth Oil, N. Tonawanda, NY and two separate landfills in Byron, NY, and Moira, NY. We believe the potential combined costs at these sites to be $0.3 million. The EPA has identified Holland as a PRP for one location, Horton Sales Piedmont Site, Greenville County, SC. We believe the potential cost at this site will be insignificant.
While PRPs in Superfund actions have joint and several liabilities for all costs of remediation, it is not possible at this time to quantify our ultimate exposure because the projects are either in the investigative or early remediation stage. Based upon current information, we do not believe that probable or reasonably possible expenditures in connection with the sites described above are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations because:
To the extent necessary, we have established adequate reserves to cover the estimate we presently believe will be our liability with respect to the matter;
We and our subsidiaries have only limited or de minimis involvement in the sites based upon volumetric calculations;
Other PRPs involved in the sites have substantial assets and may reasonably be expected to pay their share of the cost of remediation; and
We believe that our ultimate liability is relatively small compared with our overall expenses.
We are subject to various other governmental proceedings and regulations, including foreign regulations, relating to environmental matters and are investigating potential violations of environmental regulations with respect to certain sites, but we do not believe that any of these matters or investigations are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
This section, “Environmental Matters,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E Exchange Act. See the introduction section immediately prior to "Part I" and Risk Factors in "Item 1A" of this report regarding these statements. Our expectations regarding our compliance with Environmental Regulations and our expenditures to comply with Environmental Regulations, including (without limitation) our capital expenditures on environmental control equipment, and the effect that liability from Environmental Regulation or Superfund sites may have on our competitive position, financial condition or results of operations, are only our expectations regarding these matters. These expectations may be substantially different from actual results, which may be affected by the following factors: changes in Environmental Regulations; unexpected, adverse outcomes with respect to sites where we have been named as a PRP, including (without limitation) the sites

9

Table of Contents

described above, and to sites in which we are investigating potential violations of Environmental Regulations; the discovery of new sites of which we are not aware and where additional expenditures may be required to comply with Environmental Regulations; an unexpected discharge of hazardous materials in the course of our business or operations; an acquisition of one or more new businesses; a catastrophic event causing discharges into the environment of hydrocarbons; the inability of other PRPs to pay their share of liability for a Superfund site; and a material change in our allocation of the volume of discharge and a resulting change in our liability as a PRP with respect to a site.
Economic Factors and Seasonality

Our business is subject to a number of general economic factors that may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, many of which are largely out of our control. These include the impact of the recent severe recession and resulting slow-growth economy and recessionary economic cycles and downturns in individual customer's business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries, such as retail and manufacturing, where we have a significant concentration of customers. Economic conditions may adversely affect our customers' business levels, the amount of transportation services they need and their ability to pay for our services. We operate in a highly price-sensitive and competitive industry, making industry pricing actions, quality of customer service, effective asset utilization and cost control major competitive factors. All of our revenues are subject to seasonal variations. Customers tend to reduce shipments just prior to and then after the winter holiday season, and operating expenses as a percent of revenue tend to be higher, and operating cash flows as a percent of revenue tend to be lower, in the winter months primarily due to colder weather and seasonally lower levels of shipments and the seasonal timing of expenditures. Generally, most of the first quarter and the latter part of the fourth quarter are the seasonally weakest while the second and third quarters are the seasonally strongest. The availability and cost of labor and other operating cost inputs, such as fuel and equipment maintenance and equipment replacements, can significantly impact our overall cost structure, competitive position within our industry and our resulting earnings and cash flows.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

Our revenue from foreign sources is largely derived from Canada and Mexico. We have certain long-lived assets located in these areas as well. We discuss this information in the "Business Segments" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report or in our other SEC filings, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating us. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity Risks

Our substantial indebtedness and cash interest payment obligations, lease obligations and pension funding obligations could adversely affect our financial flexibility and our competitive position.

As of December 31, 2013, we had $1,363.4 million in aggregate principal of outstanding indebtedness. Although our 2014 Financing Transactions reduced our outstanding indebtedness and extended the maturities for a substantial portion of our debt to 2019, we remain substantially levered. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote to our consolidated financial statements for more details.

We also have, and will continue to have, significant lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, our expected minimum cash payments under our operating leases for 2014 are $56.1 million and our operating lease obligations totaled $166.6 million, which are primarily payable through 2019. We currently plan to procure a portion of our new revenue equipment using operating leases in 2014 and beyond in the same manner. We expect our funding obligations in 2014 under our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds will be approximately $168.6 million. Despite the extended maturities and substantial interest savings resulting from the new facility, our substantial indebtedness, lease obligations and pension funding obligations could continue to have a significant impact on our business.

For example, it could:

increase our vulnerability to adverse changes or sustained slow growth in general economic, industry and competitive conditions;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our indebtedness, leases and pension funding obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
restrict us from taking advantage of business opportunities;
make it more difficult to satisfy our financial obligations and covenants in our credit facilities;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt, lease obligations, and pension funding obligations; and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general corporate purposes on satisfactory terms or at all.

In addition, the failure to comply with our financial covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.

Our ability to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.

Our ability to generate cash in the future, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We believe that our results of operations will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our covenants for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs beyond 2014 is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

we must achieve improvements in our operating results in our YRC Freight operating segment, which rely upon pricing and shipping volumes and network efficiencies;
we must continue to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities;
we must continue to implement and realize cost saving measures to match our costs with business levels in a manner that does not harm operations and our productivity and efficiency initiatives must be successful; and

11

Table of Contents

we must be able to generate operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet cash requirements for pension contributions to our single and multi employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment.

A failure to meet our liquidity needs could materially and adversely affect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

We incurred net losses in each of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011. We may not obtain the projected benefits and cost savings from productivity and efficiency initiatives. If we incur future net losses we may need additional capital to meet our future cash requirements and execute our business strategy.

Our business experienced net losses in each of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011. Contributing factors to our net losses in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 were the challenges facing transportation services generally as a result of the prolonged slow economic recovery, competitive pressures in the LTL industry stemming from excess capacity that resulted in lower profit margins, interest expense and financing costs, and our operating cost structure. In each of 2009, 2011 and 2014, we implemented financial restructurings to improve our balance sheet and to provide additional operating liquidity. Since our restructuring in 2011, our senior management team and board of directors have put strategies in place that are focused on driving productivity and efficiency improvements. These efforts have been concentrated on improving pricing and shipping volumes as well as customer mix, redeploying shared services and, in turn, driving more autonomy, responsibility and accountability to our operating companies, streamlining operations and our transportation network, and divesting non-core assets. There is no assurance that these changes and improvements will be successful, that their implementation will have a positive impact on our operating results or that we will not have to initiate additional changes and improvements in order to achieve the projected benefits and cost savings. For example, our operating results for the second and quarters of 2013 were adversely affected by driver shortages and challenges in implementing our network optimization. If we incur future net losses, we may experience liquidity challenges and we may need to raise additional capital to meet our future cash requirements and to execute our business strategy.

Restrictive covenants in the documents governing our existing and future indebtedness may limit our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to pursue our business strategies.

The documents governing our existing indebtedness contain, and the documents governing any future indebtedness will likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to take actions that we believe may be in our interest. The documents governing our existing indebtedness, among other things, limit our ability to:

incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
make certain restricted payments or investments;
enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries;
sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
create or incur liens;
enter into sale/leaseback transactions;
merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and
make investments and acquire assets.

The restrictions could adversely affect our ability to:

finance our operations;
make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter into alliances;
withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general;
engage in business activities, including future opportunities, that may be in our interest; and
plan for or react to market conditions or otherwise execute our business strategies.

Our ability to obtain future financing or to sell assets could be adversely affected because substantially all of our assets have been secured as collateral for the benefit of the holders of our indebtedness.

Our failure to comply with the covenants in the documents governing our existing and future indebtedness could materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.


12

Table of Contents

The documents governing our indebtedness contain financial covenants, affirmative covenants requiring us to take certain actions and negative covenants restricting our ability to take certain actions. During the next twelve months, the thresholds required under the financial covenants in our credit facilities are subject to significant step-ups, specifically our maximum total leverage ratio. In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that management will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us. If we are unsuccessful in meeting our financial covenants, we will need to seek an amendment or waiver from our lenders or otherwise we will be in default under our credit facilities, which would enable lenders thereunder to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding and exercise remedies with respect to collateral. If our lenders under our credit facilities demand payment, we will not have sufficient cash and cash flows from operations to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our credit facilities or the lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our credit facilities or otherwise obtain waivers from our lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard. In addition, any covenant breach or event of default could harm our credit rating and our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult to resell our Common Stock when holders want or at prices they find attractive.

The market price for our Common Stock has been highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. During the period from July 22, 2011 following the completion of our 2011 restructuring until February 25, 2014, the market price of our Common Stock ranged from $303.00 (as adjusted to give retroactive effect to our December 1, 2011 1:300 reverse stock split) to $4.56 per share. We expect the market price of our Common Stock to continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to a wide variety of factors, including the following:

fluctuations in stock market prices and trading volumes of securities of similar companies;
general market conditions and overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets;
variations in our operating results, or the operating results of our competitors;
changes in our financial guidance, if any, or securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance;
sales of large blocks of our Common Stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;
additions or departures of any of our key personnel;
announcements related to litigation;
changing legal or regulatory developments in the U.S. and other countries; and
discussion of us or our stock price by the financial press and in online investor communities.

In addition, the stock markets from time to time experience price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies and that may be extreme. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We issued a substantial number of shares of Common Stock and shares of Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into shares of our Common Stock in connection with our 2014 Financing Transactions and have agreed to register such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, which could lead to significant sales of our Common Stock and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Pursuant to the 2014 Financing Transactions, we issued an aggregate of 17,727,835 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock, which may become convertible into 2,333,336 shares of our Common Stock upon stockholder approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, subject to certain limitations. We are unable to predict the potential effects of such issuance of Common Stock, including the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, on the trading activity and market price of our Common Stock. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into in connection with the sale of equity and the exchange of our Series B Notes, we have granted certain registration rights for the resale of shares of our Common Stock issued in the Sales and Series B Notes Exchanges, including the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such shares of Common Stock into the public market, and would increase the number of shares of our Common Stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Future issuances of our Common Stock or equity-related securities in the public market could adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

In the future, we may issue significant numbers of additional shares of our Common Stock to raise capital or in connection with a restructuring or refinancing of our maturing indebtedness. Shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance on conversion of our remaining convertible notes, exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of outstanding share units. As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 33,000 shares of Common Stock, outstanding nonvested restricted stock and share units representing the right to receive a total of approximately 658,000 shares of Common Stock upon vesting and an aggregate of approximately 854,000 shares of our Common Stock was reserved for future issuance under our 2011 Incentive and Equity Award Plan (the “2011 Plan”). We have registered under the Securities Act all of the shares of Common Stock that we may issue upon the exercise of our outstanding options and the vesting of outstanding share units and on account of future awards made under the 2011 Plan. All of these registered shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, except for shares issued to our directors and executive officers, which sales are subject to certain volume restrictions. If a large number of these shares are sold in the public market, the sales could reduce the trading price of our Common Stock.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that such issuances may have on the market price for our Common Stock. Sales of significant amounts of our Common Stock or equity-related securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our Common Stock and the value of our remaining convertible notes and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. Further sales of shares of our Common Stock or the availability of shares of our Common Stock for future sale, including sales of our Common Stock by investors who view our remaining convertible notes as a more attractive means of equity participation in our Company or in connection with hedging and arbitrage activity that may develop with respect to our Common Stock, could adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate that we will be able to pay any dividends on shares of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to fund operations, to service debt and to use for other corporate needs.

We can issue shares of preferred stock that may adversely affect the rights of holders of our Common Stock.

Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of five million shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors is authorized to approve the issuance of one or more series of preferred stock without further authorization of our shareholders and to fix the number of shares, the designations, the relative rights and the limitations of any series of preferred stock. As a result, our board, without shareholder approval, could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights that could proportionately reduce, minimize or otherwise adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of our Common Stock or other series of preferred stock or that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control.

Business Risks

We are a holding company and we are dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct substantially all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Consequently, our cash flow and our ability to make payments on our indebtedness substantially depends upon our subsidiaries' cash flow and payments of funds to us by our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries' ability to make any advances, distributions or other payments to us may be restricted by, among other things, debt instruments, tax considerations and legal restrictions. If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries as a result of these restrictions, we may not be able to pay principal of, or cash interest on, our indebtedness when due, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds from other sources.

We are subject to general economic factors that are largely out of our control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to a number of general economic factors that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, many of which are largely out of our control. These factors include recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customers' business cycles and changes in their business practices, particularly in market segments and industries,

14

Table of Contents

such as retail and manufacturing, where we have a significant concentration of customers. Economic conditions may adversely affect our customers' business levels, the amount of transportation services they need and their ability to pay for our services. Because a portion of our costs are fixed, it may be difficult for us to quickly adjust our cost structure proportionally with fluctuations in volume levels. Customers encountering adverse economic conditions represent a greater potential for loss, and we may be required to increase our reserve for bad-debt losses. Further, we depend on our suppliers for equipment, parts and services that are critical to our business. A disruption in the availability of these supplies or a material increase in their cost due to adverse economic conditions or financial constraints of our suppliers could adversely impact our business, results of operations and liquidity.

We are subject to business risks and increasing costs associated with the transportation industry that are largely out of our control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are subject to business risks and increasing costs associated with the transportation industry that are largely out of our control, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The factors contributing to these risks and costs include weather, excess capacity in the transportation industry, interest rates, fuel prices and taxes, fuel surcharge collection, terrorist attacks, license and registration fees, insurance premiums, self-insurance levels, and letters of credit required to support outstanding claims, difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified drivers, the risk of widespread disruption of our technology systems, and increasing equipment and operational costs. Our results of operations may also be adversely affected by seasonal factors. Further, the future availability and support available for our current technology may make it necessary for us to upgrade or change these systems, which may be costly and could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of our operations.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our business will suffer if we are unable to adequately address potential downward pricing pressures and other factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Numerous competitive factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors include the following:

We compete with many other transportation service providers of varying sizes and types, some of which have a lower cost structure, more equipment and greater capital resources than we do or have other competitive advantages.
Some of our competitors periodically reduce their prices to gain business, especially during times of reduced growth rates in the economy, which limits our ability to maintain or increase prices or maintain or grow our business.
Our customers may negotiate rates or contracts that minimize or eliminate our ability to offset fuel price increases through fuel surcharges.
Many customers reduce the number of carriers they use by selecting so-called “core carriers” as approved transportation service providers, and in some instances, we may not be selected.
Many customers periodically accept bids from multiple carriers for their shipping needs, which may depress prices or result in the loss of some business to competitors.
The trend towards consolidation in the ground transportation industry may create other large carriers with greater financial resources and other competitive advantages relating to their size.
Advances in technology require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments.
Competition from non-asset-based logistics and freight brokerage companies may adversely affect our customer relationships and prices.
As a union carrier, we may have a competitive disadvantage against non-union carriers with lower cost structures and greater operating flexibility.

If our relationship with our employees and unions were to deteriorate, we may be faced with labor disruptions or stoppages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and place us at a disadvantage relative to non-union competitors.

Virtually all of our operating subsidiaries have employees who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("IBT"). These employees represent the majority of our workforce at December 31, 2013. Salaries, wages and employee benefits composes over half of our operating costs.

Each of our YRC Freight, New Penn, and Holland subsidiaries employ most of their unionized employees under the terms of a common national master freight agreement with the IBT, as supplemented by additional regional supplements and local agreements, a significant majority of which will expire on March 31, 2019. The IBT also represents a number of employees at Reddaway, and Reimer under more localized agreements, which have wages, benefit contributions and other terms and conditions that better fit the cost structure and operating models of these business units.

Our subsidiaries are regularly subject to grievances, arbitration proceedings and other claims concerning alleged past and current non-compliance with applicable labor law and collective bargaining agreements.

Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries can predict the outcome of any of these matters. These matters, if resolved in a manner unfavorable to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
 
Our pension expense and funding obligations could increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future funding obligations for our U.S. single-employer defined benefit pension plans qualified with the Internal Revenue Service depend upon their funded status, the future performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the level of interest rates used to determine funding levels and actuarial experience and any changes in government laws and regulations.

Our subsidiaries began making contributions to most of the multi-employer pension funds (the "funds”) beginning June 1, 2011 at the rate of 25% of the contribution rate in effect on July 1, 2009. A fund that did not allow our subsidiaries to begin making contributions at a reduced rate to the fund elected to either (i) apply the amount of the contributions toward paying down previously deferred contributions under our Contribution Deferral Agreement, or (ii) have the amount of the contributions placed in escrow until such time when the fund is able to accept re-entry at the reduced rate.

If the funding of the funds does not reach certain goals (including those required not to enter endangered or critical status or those required by a fund's funding improvement or rehabilitation plan), our pension expenses and required cash contributions could further increase upon the expiration of our collective bargaining agreements and, as a result, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Decreases in investment returns that are not offset by contributions could also increase our obligations under such plans.

We believe that based on information obtained from public filings and from plan administrators and trustees, our portion of the contingent liability in the case of a full withdrawal from or termination of all of the multi-employer pension plans would be an estimated $10 billion on a pre-tax basis. If we were subject to withdrawal liability with respect to a plan, ERISA provides that a withdrawing employer can pay the obligation in a lump sum or over time based upon an annual payment that is the product of the highest contribution rate to the relevant plan multiplied by the average of the three highest consecutive years measured in contribution base units, which, in some cases, could be up to 20 years. Even so, our applicable subsidiaries have no current intention of taking any action that would subject us to payment of material withdrawal obligations, however we cannot provide any assurance that such obligations will not arise in the future which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Ongoing self-insurance and claims expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our future insurance and claims expenses might exceed historical levels. We currently self-insure for a majority of our claims exposure resulting from cargo loss, personal injury, property damage and workers' compensation. If the number or severity of claims for which we are self-insured increases, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected, and we may have to post additional letters of credit or cash collateral to state workers' compensation authorities or insurers to support our insurance policies, which may adversely affect our liquidity. Although we have significantly reduced our letter of credit expense in recent periods, there is no assurance this trend will continue. If we lose our ability to self insure, our insurance costs could materially increase, and we may find it difficult to obtain adequate levels of insurance coverage.
 
We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations if we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations.
 
Our business is capital intensive. Our capital expenditures focus primarily on revenue equipment replacement, land and structures and investments in information technology. In light of our operating results over the past few years and our liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures in recent years and may need to continue to do so in the future, including the next twelve months.  As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations to fund our capital requirements, we may have to limit our growth, utilize our existing liquidity, or enter into additional financing arrangements, including leasing arrangements, or operate our revenue equipment (including tractors and trailers) for longer periods resulting in increased maintenance costs, any of which could reduce our operating income. If our cash from operations and existing financing arrangements are not sufficient to fund our capital expenditure

16

Table of Contents

requirements, we may not be able to obtain additional financing at all or on terms acceptable to us. In addition, our credit facilities contain provisions that limit our level of annual capital expenditures.

We operate in an industry subject to extensive government regulations, and costs of compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future regulations could significantly increase our costs of doing business.

The U.S. Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security and various federal, state, local and foreign agencies exercise broad powers over our business, generally governing such activities as authorization to engage in motor carrier operations, safety and permits to conduct transportation business. Our drivers are also subject to hours-of-service rules from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA"). In the future, we may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations that the FMSCA, Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency or other authorities impose, including regulations relating to engine exhaust emissions, the hours of service that our drivers may provide in any one time period, security and other matters. Compliance with these regulations could substantially impair equipment productivity and increase our costs.
 
We are subject to various Environmental Regulations, and costs of compliance with, or liabilities for violations of, existing or future laws and regulations could significantly increase our costs of doing business.
 
Our operations are subject to Environmental Regulations dealing with, among other things, the handling of hazardous materials, underground fuel storage tanks and discharge and retention of storm water. We operate in industrial areas, where truck terminals and other industrial activities are located, and where groundwater or other forms of environmental contamination may have occurred. Our operations involve the risks of fuel spillage or seepage, environmental damage and hazardous waste disposal, among others. If we are involved in a spill or other accident involving hazardous substances, or if we are found to be in violation of applicable environmental laws or regulations, it could significantly increase our cost of doing business. Under specific environmental laws and regulations, we could be held responsible for all of the costs relating to any contamination at our past or present terminals and at third-party waste disposal sites. If we fail to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or penalties and to civil and criminal liability.

In addition, as climate change initiatives become more prevalent, federal, state and local governments and our customers are beginning to promulgate solutions for these issues. This increased focus on greenhouse gas emission reductions and corporate environmental sustainability may result in new regulations and customer requirements that could negatively affect us. This could cause us to incur additional direct costs or to make changes to our operations in order to comply with any new regulations and customer requirements, as well as increased indirect costs or loss of revenue resulting from, among other things, our customers incurring additional compliance costs that affect our costs and revenues. We could also lose revenue if our customers divert business from us because we have not complied with their sustainability requirements. These costs, changes and loss of revenue could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Our business may be harmed by anti-terrorism measures.
 
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the United States, federal, state and municipal authorities have implemented and are implementing various security measures, including checkpoints and travel restrictions on large trucks. Although many companies would be adversely affected by any slowdown in the availability of freight transportation, the negative impact could affect our business disproportionately. For example, we offer specialized services that guarantee on-time delivery. If the security measures disrupt or impede the timing of our deliveries, we may fail to meet the needs of our customers, or may incur increased expenses to do so. We cannot assure you that these measures will not significantly increase our costs and reduce our operating margins and income.

The outcome of IRS audits to which we and our subsidiaries are a party could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

The IRS may issue adverse tax determinations in connection with its audit of our prior year tax returns. See the "Income Taxes" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We may incur significant expenses defending ourselves in these audits. We may be required to pay significant taxes and/or interest to resolve these audits. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Current or future litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

We have been and continue to be involved in legal proceedings, claims and other litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation may be related to labor and employment, competitive matters, personal injury, property damage, safety and

17

Table of Contents

contract compliance, environmental liability, our past financial restructurings and other matters. We are currently subject to putative class action litigation in connection with public statements made by prior management regarding our financial restructuring in 2009.  We discuss legal proceedings in the “Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties” footnote to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Some or all of our expenditures to defend, settle or litigate these matters may not be covered by insurance or could impact our cost and ability to obtain insurance in the future.  Litigation can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations, including to our management due to the increased time and resources required to respond to and address the litigation. The results of complex legal proceedings are often uncertain and difficult to predict. An unfavorable outcome of any particular matter or any future legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. In the future, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could harm our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

We may not obtain further benefits and cost savings from operational changes and performance improvement initiatives.

In response to our business environment, we initiated operational changes and process improvements to reduce costs and improve financial performance. These changes and initiatives include evaluating management talent, reducing overhead costs, closing redundant facilities, making upgrades to our technology, eliminating non-core assets and unnecessary activities and implementing changes of operations under our labor agreements. There is no assurance that these changes and improvements will be successful , that their implementation may not have an adverse impact on our operating results or that we will not have to initiate additional changes and improvements in order to achieve the projected benefits and cost savings.

Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our projections.

From time to time, we use projections regarding our future performance. These projections, which are forward-looking statements, are prepared by our management and are qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions and the other information contained or referred to in the introductory section immediately prior to "Part I" of this Report. Our projections are not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our registered public accountants nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines the projections and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change.

Projections are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions and estimates relating to the projections furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our projections are only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from the projections and the variations may be material. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data is projected. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged not to rely upon, or otherwise consider, our projections in making investment decisions in respect of our securities.

Any failure to successfully implement our operating strategy, the failure of some or all of the assumptions and estimates relating to the projections used by us or the occurrence of any of the adverse events or circumstances described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC could result in the actual operating results being different from the projections, and such differences may be adverse and material.

Item 2. Properties

At December 31, 2013, we operated a total of 393 transportation service facilities located in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico for our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation segments. Of this total, 188 are owned and 205 are leased, generally with lease terms ranging from one month to ten years with right of renewal options. The number of customer freight servicing doors totaled 21,536, of which 12,324 are at owned facilities and 9,212 are at leased facilities. The transportation service centers vary in size ranging from one to three doors at small local facilities, to 426 doors at the largest consolidation and distribution facility. In addition, we and our subsidiaries own and occupy general office buildings in Lebanon, Pennsylvania; and Holland, Michigan. We also lease and occupy general office buildings in Overland Park, Kansas, Tualatin, Oregon and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our owned transportation service facilities and office buildings serve as collateral under our credit agreements.

Our facilities and equipment are adequate to meet current business requirements in 2014. Refer to “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of expectations regarding capital spending in 2014.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

As of March 4, 2014, 175 shareholders of record held YRC Worldwide common stock. Trading activity averaged 621,240 shares per day during 2013, up from 135,359 per day in 2012. The NASDAQ Stock Market quotes prices for our common stock under the symbol “YRCW.” As part of our 2014 Financing Transactions, on January 31, 2014, we issued 583,334 shares of YRC Worldwide preferred stock (that are convertible into 2,333,336 shares of Common Stock upon meeting certain conditions). These preferred shares were outstanding as of March 4, 2014.

On July 22, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 4,999,999 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to satisfy a portion of the outstanding credit agreement claims (3,717,948 shares) and to satisfy our obligation to the IBT for their modifications and extension of the labor agreement in October 2010 (1,282,051 shares). The 4,999,999 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 6,210,369 shares of common stock in September 2011. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding. See additional details in the "Shareholders' Deficit" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

The board of directors approved a reverse stock split effective December 1, 2011 at a ratio of 1:300. The reverse stock split was effective on NASDAQ on December 2, 2011. Fractional shares were not issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, fractional shares were collected and pooled by our transfer agent and sold in the open market and the proceeds were allocated to the stockholders' respective accounts pro rata exchange for their fractional shares.

The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under our employee and director equity plans in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. Under the terms of our outstanding equity awards, the reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such awards in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio and caused a proportionate increase in the exercise price of such awards to the extent they were stock options. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of outstanding equity awards was rounded to the nearest whole share and no cash payment was made in respect of such rounding. Shareholders' Deficit was retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock splits for all periods presented by reclassifying from Common stock to Capital surplus, the par value of the share reduction in connection with the reverse splits. All share numbers and per share amounts in this report and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

(a)
The fourth quarter of 2012 includes a $30.8 million impairment charge on our JHJ International Transportation Co, Ltd. ("JHJ") equity investment as a non-operating expense. Certain convertible securities contain a make-whole interest premium that requires us to pay interest as if the security were held to maturity. In calculating the third quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method, this make-whole interest premium resulted in expense that exceeded our earnings and resulted in a diluted loss per share.
(b)
Diluted loss per share were computed independently for each of the quarters presented. The sum of the quarters may differ from the total annual amount primarily due to change in the number of outstanding shares in the year and the impact of the if-converted method used to calculate earnings per share.
(c)
The fourth quarter 2013 results were impacted by the 2013 tax rate, which included a benefit recognized due to application of ASC 740 rules regarding intra-period tax allocation.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Our credit agreement as of December 31, 2013 did not permit us to purchase shares of our common stock.

Dividends

We did not declare any cash dividends on our common stock in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Our credit agreement as of December 31, 2013 did not permit us to declare dividends on any of our outstanding capital stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. See the introductory section immediately prior to "Part I" and Risk Factors in "Item 1A" of this report regarding these statements.

Overview
MD&A includes the following sections:

Our Business: a brief description of our business and a discussion of how we assess our operating results
Consolidated Results of Operations: an analysis of our consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011
Reporting Segment Results of Operations: an analysis of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 for our two reporting segments: YRC Freight and Regional Transportation
Non-GAAP Financial Measures: an analysis of our results using certain non-GAAP financial measures, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011
Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources: a discussion of our major sources and uses of cash as well as an analysis of our cash flows and aggregate contractual obligations and commercial commitments

Our Business
YRC Worldwide is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload ("LTL") networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through its team of experienced service professionals, YRC Worldwide offers industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence.
We measure the performance of our business both on a consolidated and reporting segment basis and using several metrics, but rely primarily upon (without limitation) operating revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as secondary measures to assess our operating performance.
Operating Revenue: Operating revenue has two primary components: volume (commonly evaluated using tonnage, tonnage per day, number of shipments, shipments per day or weight per shipment) and yield or price (commonly evaluated using picked up revenue, revenue per hundredweight or revenue per shipment). Yield includes fuel surcharge revenue which is common in the trucking industry and represents an amount charged to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in our adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. We believe that fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us in the short term, which are mitigated over time.

Operating Income (Loss): Operating income (loss) is operating revenue less any operating expenses. Consolidated operating income (loss) includes certain corporate charges that are not allocated to our reporting segments.

Operating Ratio: Operating ratio is a common operating performance measure used in the trucking industry. It is calculated as (i) 100 percent (ii) minus the result of dividing operating income by operating revenue or (iii) plus the result of dividing operating loss by operating revenue, and is expressed as a percentage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit), which are non-GAAP financial measures, to assess our performance. Adjusted EBITDA reflects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusts for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or

25

Table of Contents

losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the impact of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations as defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects core operating performance and to measure compliance with certain financial covenants in our credit facilities. Adjusted free cash flow (deficit) is a non-GAAP measure that reflects our operating cash flow minus gross capital expenditures and excludes restructuring costs included in operating cash flow. Our non-GAAP financial measures have the following limitations:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, letter of credit fees, service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
Equity based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
Adjusted free cash flow (deficit) excludes the cash usage by our restructuring activities, debt issuance costs,
equity issuance costs and principal payments on our outstanding debt and the resulting reduction in our liquidity position from those cash outflows; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Our consolidated results for 2013, 2012 and 2011 include the consolidated results of our reporting segments and unallocated corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our reporting segments is presented in the "Reporting Segment Results of Operations" section below.

2013 Compared to 2012

Our consolidated operating revenue increased $14.9 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in revenue is largely attributable to the increase in volumes at our Regional Transportation reporting segment.

Operating expenses in 2013 increased $10.6 million or 0.2% compared to 2012. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by a $23.7 million increase in purchased transportation and a $14.6 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits. These increases were partially offset by a $13.7 million decrease in other operating expense and a $12.0 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies.

The $23.7 million increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by increased purchased rail transportation costs.
The $14.6 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits was primarily driven by a $28.1 million increase in wages to support higher shipping volumes primarily at our Regional Transportation reporting segment. This was partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease in Workers' Compensation expense from our safety and settlement initiatives.

26

Table of Contents

The $13.7 million decrease in other operating expense was driven by a $9.2 million decrease in bodily injury and property damage expense due to our settlement initiatives and a $3.5 million decrease in cargo claims driven by favorable claim development compared to 2012.
The $12.0 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by a $16.5 million decrease in fuel expenses, partially offset by a $6.8 million increase in vehicle maintenance expenses to support our aging fleet.

Our consolidated operating income during 2013 includes a $2.2 million net gain from the sale of property and equipment compared to a $9.7 million net gain in 2012.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $17.7 million or 10.1% in 2013 compared to 2012. Nonoperating costs in 2012 include a $30.8 million impairment charge for our equity investment in JHJ. The adjustment was required as the estimated fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. The impairment charge is reflective of market information obtained in the fourth quarter of 2012. This decrease was partially offset by a $13.1 million increase in interest expense driven by additional make whole interest on our Series B Notes that converted to equity during 2013.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 35.4% and 9.9%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2013 rate include a benefit recognized due to application of ASC 740 rules regarding intra-period tax allocation, a state tax provision, a foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, a decrease in the reserve for uncertain tax positions and an increase in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2013. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision or in equity if directly related to other comprehensive income (loss), unless affected by a specific intra-period allocation as happened in 2013 and explained in the "Income Taxes" footnote to our consolidated financial statements, in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years' earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, exclusive of a deferred tax liability related to a foreign jurisdiction.

Since our debt recapitalization in July 2011, we have experienced significant changes in the ownership of our stock, as measured for Federal income tax purposes. On July 25, 2013, we reached the threshold that would trigger a change defined by IRC Code Sec. 382. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, another such ownership change occurred in January 2014. These changes will likely limit substantially the use of tax Net Operating Loss carryovers (NOLs) generated in 2013 and prior to offset future taxable income. While Sec. 382 changes may adversely affect future cash flow, they have no impact on our current financial statements. The deferred tax assets resulting from the existing NOLs for which a Sec. 382 changes would limit financial statement recognition are already fully offset by a valuation allowance. 

On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS released final regulations providing guidance on the application of IRC Section 263(a) to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (“Tangible Property Regulations”). While the final regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, taxpayers are permitted to early adopt provisions for years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company believes that the implementation of these regulations will have no material impact on its financial statements.

2012 Compared to 2011

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased $18.3 million in 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease in revenue is largely attributable to the December 2011 sale of our Truckload reporting segment, which represented $98.9 million or approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue in 2011. This decline was partially offset by an increase in yields due to customer mix management and volume increases in our Regional Transportation reporting segment.

Operating expenses in 2012 decreased $180.6 million or 3.6% compared to 2011. The decrease is partially attributable to the sale of our Truckload reporting segment, which had $117.8 million of operating expenses in 2011. Overall operating expenses decreased due to a $65.6 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $46.6 million decrease in purchased transportation and a $27.8 million decrease in other operating expense.

The $65.6 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by lower professional service fees of $43.9 million or 34.5% and lower fuel expenses of $25.9 million or 4.4%. The $43.9 million decrease in professional service fees were primarily related to the 2011 restructuring fees which were not allocated to our reporting segments during that period.

Table of Contents

The $46.6 million decrease in purchased transportation was primarily a result of lower volumes moved through purchased transportation lines.
The $27.8 million decrease in other operating expense is primarily driven by a $14.3 million or 23.6% decrease in bodily injury and property damage claims outstanding driven by our employee safety initiatives.

Our consolidated operating income during 2012 includes a $9.7 million net gain from the sale of property and equipment compared to a $8.2 million net gain in 2011.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $48.1 million or 21.5% in 2012 compared to 2011. Nonoperating costs in 2012 include a $30.8 million impairment charge for our equity investment in JHJ. The adjustment was required as the estimated fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. The impairment charge is reflective of market information obtained in the fourth quarter of 2012. Nonoperating costs in 2011 included a fair value adjustment on our derivative liabilities of $79.2 million and restructuring transaction costs of $17.8 million. The fair value adjustment resulted from conversion features embedded in the Series A Notes and Series B Notes issued in the July 22, 2011 restructuring. At the closing of the restructuring, the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy those conversion features. At a September 16, 2011 special meeting, shareholders approved an increase in the amount of authorized common shares to allow for the conversions. The conversion features were revalued after the shareholder meeting resulting in the fair value adjustment. The increase in the fair value of the conversion options is primarily related to market volatility of our common stock and is due to the fact that the Series B Note holders now have the ability to convert the notes to common shares. The restructuring transaction costs relate to modifications to our credit agreement, contribution deferral agreement, and issuance of Series A Notes. In addition, we recognized a $25.8 million net gain on extinguishment of debt during 2011 primarily related to the retirement of the ABS facility.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 9.9% and 2.1%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2012 rate include a state tax provision, a foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, an increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, a favorable Tax Court settlement and an increase in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2012. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision or in equity if directly related to other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years' earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we have a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

Reporting Segment Results of Operations

We evaluate our business using our two reporting segments:
YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international markets. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.
Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

In 2011, we reported Truckload as a separate segment, which consisted of Glen Moore, a former domestic truckload carrier that represented approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue in 2011. On December 15, 2011, we sold the majority of Glen Moore’s assets to a third party and concluded operations. The Truckload reporting segment reported operating revenue of $98.9 million and an operating loss of $18.9 million in 2011.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $31.2 million in 2013 compared to $37.3 million in 2012. The operating loss improvement was driven by a $76.2 million decrease in operating costs, which was partially offset by a $70.1 million decrease in revenue. The decrease in revenue was largely driven by decreases in shipping volumes as noted in the table above. We believe these decreases were a result of driver shortages in the summer months and service declines due to challenges implementing our network optimization plan. The operating cost decreases were driven by a $41.2 million or 5.5% decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $33.3 million or 1.8% decrease in salaries, wages and benefits, and a $16.6 million or 10.3% decrease in other operating expenses. These decreases were partially offset by higher purchased transportation costs of $18.4 million or 4.5%.
The $41.2 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies was driven by a $18.9 million decrease in fuel driven by a decrease in shipping volumes and slightly lower fuel prices and a $17.5 million decrease in professional services.
The decrease in salaries, wages and employees' benefits of $33.3 million during 2013 is driven by a $14.1 million decrease in workers' compensation expense primarily driven by safety initiatives and favorable development of prior year claims and $10.6 million in lower salaries and wages due to lower shipping volumes partially offset by annual wage increases.

29

Table of Contents

The $16.6 million reduction in other operating expense was driven by a $10.7 million decrease in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to our system-wide employee safety initiatives and favorable development of prior year claims and a $3.9 million decrease in cargo claims compared to 2012 due to improved claims frequency.
The $18.4 million increase in purchased transportation costs was driven by increased purchased rail transportation costs due to a higher percentage of loaded rail miles in 2013.
Gains on disposals of property were $3.0 million in 2013 compared to $10.0 million in 2012.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $37.3 million in 2012 compared to $88.5 million in 2011. The $3.9 million increase in revenue along with a $47.3 million decrease in cost drove the operating loss improvement. The cost decreases were driven by lower purchased transportation costs of $38.8 million or 8.6%, lower salaries, wages and employees' benefits of $35.6 million or 1.9% and a $10.3 million or 6.0% decrease in other operating expenses. These decreases were partially offset by higher operating expenses and supplies of $35.8 million or 5.0%.

The $38.8 million decrease in purchased transportation was primarily a result of lower volumes moved through purchased transportation lines. Our aggregate purchased rail transportation costs decreased 7.2% while all other purchased transportation costs decreased 10.3%.

The decrease in salaries, wages and employees' benefits of $35.6 million during 2012 was driven by a $31.5 million decrease in workers' compensation expense primarily driven by our employee safety initiatives and $11.7 million in lower wages due to more efficient workforce deployment. These decreases were partially offset by a $24.5 million increase in benefits resulting from a full year of multi-employer pension contribution expense, as we resumed contributions in June 2011.

The reduction of $10.3 million in other operating expense was driven by a decrease in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to our employee safety initiatives and a decrease in cargo claims compared to 2011.


30

Table of Contents

The $35.8 million increase in Operating expenses and supplies was due mostly to increases in equipment maintenance driven by our aging fleet, fuel costs as a result of increased diesel prices and professional services compared to 2011.

Gains on disposals of property were $10.0 million in 2012 compared to $10.5 million in 2011.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $79.9 million for 2013, an increase of $9.9 million from the same period in 2012, consisting of a $88.0 million increase in revenue, partially offset by a $78.1 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenue was driven by increases in shipping volumes and yield as indicated in the table above. We believe these increases were driven by a moderate improvement in the economic conditions in the areas where our regional carriers operate. The increase in operating expenses was driven by a $47.7 million or 5.1% increase in salaries, wages and benefits and a $18.2 million or 4.4% increase in operating expense and supplies.

Salaries, wages and employees' benefits expense increased by $47.7 million primarily as a result of an increase in wages and associated benefits compared to the prior year driven by an increase shipping volumes.

Operating expenses and supplies increased by $18.2 million due to a $6.7 million increase in vehicle maintenance driven by our aging fleet and a $2.7 million increase in fuel expenses as a result of higher shipping volumes.

Net losses on property disposals were $0.6 million in 2013 compared to $0.7 million in 2011.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $70.0 million for 2012, an increase of $37.1 million from the same period in
2011, consisting of an $86.3 million increase in revenue, partially offset by a $49.2 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was driven by a $36.7 million or 4.1% increase in salaries, wages and benefits and a $10.0 million or 2.5% increase in operating expense and supplies.

Salaries, wages and employees' benefits expense increased by $36.7 million primarily as a result of an increase in benefits compared to the prior year due to a full year of multi-employer pension contribution expense, as we resumed contributions in June 2011, and higher salary and wages due to increased shipment volumes. These increases were offset by a decline in workers' compensation expenses driven by our employee safety initiatives.

Operating expenses and supplies increased by $49.2 million due to higher costs related to vehicle maintenance driven by our aging fleet and fuel expenses as a result of higher business volumes.

Net losses on property disposals and impairments were $0.7 million in 2012 compared to a gain on property disposals of $2.7
million in 2011.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed in the "Our Business" section, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. These measures should be considered in addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our GAAP financial measures.

Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, any prospective cash flow from operations and, as of December 31, 2013, available borrowings under our previous $400 million then-existing ABL facility. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the then-existing ABL facility of $227.8 million and the borrowing base under our then-existing ABL facility was $376.4 million. As part of our 2014 Financing Transactions, we replaced our then-existing ABL facility with a new $450 million ABL facility (the "New ABL Facility") as a source of liquidity. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote included in Item 8 to our consolidated financial statements for more details.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations, including but not limited to paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures and lease payments for operating equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities provided net cash of $12.1 million.

34

Table of Contents


We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1,363.4 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness. Our 2014 Financing Transactions reduced our outstanding indebtedness and extended the maturities for a substantial portion of our debt to 2019. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote to the financial statements for more details. Our Standard & Poor's credit rating as of December 31, 2013 was 'CCC'.

We also have a considerable amount of future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds will be $79.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. In addition, we also have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, our estimated operating lease payments for 2014 are $56.1 million.

Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $66.9 million and $66.4 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment totaling $67.1 million, with such payments to be made over the average lease term of 6 years. The capital value of this equipment totals $70.2 million. In light of our operating results over the past few years and our liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and may continue to do so in the future. As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically.

Credit Facility Covenants

On November 12, 2013, we entered into amendments to our amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and our then-existing ABL facility (together the "Amendments"), which, among other things, reset future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and reset the minimum cash balance requirement. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2013.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our New Term Loan credit agreement, was a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations.

On February 13, 2014, we completed the 2014 Financing Transactions and retired the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a new term loan ("New Term Loan") credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as total indebtedness divided by Adjusted EBITDA) for future test periods as follows:

In addition, we entered into the New ABL Facility credit agreement which, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in our new credit agreement, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.

Table of Contents


In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and maintain compliance of our stepped-up financial covenants beyond 2014 are dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

we must achieve improvements in our operating results, primarily at our YRC Freight operating segment, which rely upon pricing and shipping volumes and network efficiencies;
we must continue to implement and realize cost saving measures to match our costs with business levels and in a manner that does not harm operations and our productivity and efficiency initiatives must be successful; and
we must be able to generate operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the cash requirements for pension contributions to our single and multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or with cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us.

Cash Flow

Operating Cash Flow

Operating cash flow was a source of cash of $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a use of cash of $25.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The favorable cash flow impact is largely related to a decrease in our workers' compensation and bodily injury and property damage liabilities.

Operating cash flow was a use of cash of $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a use of cash of $26.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. The favorable cash flow impact related to the change in net loss in 2012 was offset by an unfavorable change in our other operating liabilities primarily due to decreases in our workers' compensation and bodily injury and property damage liabilities driven by our employee safety initiatives and settlement payment activity as well as the resumption of a full year of non-union pension payments. Operating cash flow in 2011 was favorably impacted by the deferral of certain fee and interest payments under out debt and financing obligations totaling $43.6 million.

Investing Cash Flow

Investing cash flows used $23.5 million of cash in 2013 compared to providing cash of $19.8 million in 2012. In 2013, we received $31.8 million in restricted escrow refunds, compared to $33.4 million in 2012. Also, proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment declined in 2013 compared to 2012. See a detailed discussion of 2013 and 2012 capital expenditures below in “Capital Expenditures” for further information.

Investing cash flows provided $19.8 million of cash in 2012 compared to a use of cash of $156.6 million in 2011. The $33.4 million receipt from restricted escrow in 2012 compared favorably to the $155.9 million escrow deposit largely made to satisfy our ABL escrow requirement. See a detailed discussion of 2012 and 2011 capital expenditures below in “Capital Expenditures”.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash used in financing activities for 2013 was $21.0 million. During 2013, we increased our net borrowings under our then-existing ABL facility ("Prior ABL Facility") by $0.3 million, which was offset by the $9.2 million repayment of other long-term

Table of Contents

debt from asset sale proceeds and $12.1 million in debt issuance costs related to the November 12, 2013 credit agreement amendments.

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2012 was $14.3 million. During 2012, we increased our net borrowings under our Prior ABL Facility by $45.0 million, which was offset by a $25.6 repayment of other long-term debt from asset sale proceeds and $5.1 million in debt issuance costs.

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2011 was $240.1 million. The 2011 activity is a result of $441.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, offset by $46.7 million in debt repayments and by a $122.8 million pay down on the ABS facility and $30.5 million of debt issuance costs. The $441.6 million of long-term debt issued in 2011 consists of proceeds of $100.0 million from the Series B Notes, $262.3 million from the Prior ABL Facility, $70.3 million from credit agreement borrowings and $9.0 million from additional lease financing obligations.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures focus primarily on the replacement of revenue equipment, land and structures purchases and investments in information technology. Our business is capital intensive with significant investments in service center facilities and a fleet of tractors and trailers. We determine the amount and timing of capital expenditures based on numerous factors, including fleet age, service center condition, viability of IT systems, anticipated liquidity levels, economic conditions, new or expanded services, regulatory actions and availability of financing.

The table below summarizes our actual net capital expenditures (proceeds) by type and investments for the years ended December 31:

Our capital expenditures were primarily for replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet. We plan to procure substantially all of our new revenue equipment using operating leases in 2014.

Our expectation regarding our ability to fund capital expenditures using operating leases is only our forecast regarding this matter. This forecast may be substantially different from actual results. In addition to the factors previously described in “Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources”, the introduction to “Part I” and the risk factors listed in “Item 1A” of this report, the following factors could affect levels of capital expenditures: the accuracy of our estimates regarding our spending requirements; changes in our strategic direction; the need to spend additional capital on cost reduction opportunities; the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets and our ability to dispose of excess real estate at our anticipated sales price. In addition, our credit facilities contain provisions that restrict our level of capital expenditures.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

The following sections provide aggregated information regarding our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2013.

Non-Union Pension Obligations


37

Table of Contents

We provide defined benefit pension plans for certain employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Yellow Transportation and Roadway qualified plans cover approximately 14,000 employees including those currently receiving benefits and those who have left the company with deferred benefits. On January 1, 2004, the existing qualified benefit plans were closed to new participants. On July 1, 2008, the benefit accrual for participants was frozen.
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”) was signed into law on July 6, 2012.  In 2012, we adopted the minimum funding provisions of this law which provided for the use of longer-term, stabilized interest rate assumptions for measuring pension obligations.  We will continue to make the minimum plan contributions as required by the MAP-21 regulation.
During 2013, our pension expense was $19.7 million and our cash contributions were $62.9 million. Using our current plan assumptions, which include an assumed 7.00% return on assets and a discount rate of 5.23%, we expect to record expense of $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Additionally, we expect our cash contributions for our non-union sponsored pension plans for the next five years to be as follows:

Our investment strategy for our pension assets and our related pension contribution funding obligation includes an active interest rate hedging program designed to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on each plan's funded position. If the pension discount rate falls, our investment strategy is designed to significantly mitigate such interest rate risk to each pension plan's funded status and our contribution funding obligation. Conversely, if the pension discount rate rises, some portion of the beneficial impact of a rising discount rate on the pension liability will be forgone. The investment program is dynamic and the hedging program is designed to adapt to market conditions.

If future actual asset returns fall short of the 7.00% assumption by 1.00% per year, total cash contributions would be $13.2 million higher over the next five years. If future actual asset returns exceed the 7.00% assumption by 1.00% per year, total cash contributions would be $22.3 million lower over the next five years.

If future interest rates decrease 100 basis points from January 1, 2014 levels, total cash contributions would be $42.7 million lower over the next five years. This reflects our liability hedging strategy and the impact of MAP-21 legislation. The liability hedging strategy results in additional asset returns from decreases in interest rates. However, MAP-21 limits the increase in liabilities from lower interest rates such that the net effect is lower contributions. If interest rates increase 100 basis points from January 1, 2014 levels, total cash contributions would be $0.7 million lower over the next five years. In this scenario, the liability hedging strategy minimizes the impact on contributions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of our financial statements requires accounting policies that involve significant estimates and judgments regarding the amounts included in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. We continually review the appropriateness of our accounting policies and the accuracy of our estimates including discussion with the Audit/Ethics Committee of our Board of Directors who make recommendations to management regarding these policies. Even with a thorough process, estimates must be adjusted based on changing circumstances and new information. Management has identified the policies described below as requiring significant judgment and having a potential material impact to our financial statements.

Revenue Reserves

We consider our policies regarding revenue-related reserves as critical based on their significance in evaluating our financial performance by management and investors. We have an extensive system that allows us to accurately capture, record and control all relevant information necessary to effectively manage our revenue reserves.

In addition, YRC Freight and Regional Transportation recognize revenue on a gross basis because they are the primary obligors even when other transportation service providers are used who act on their behalf. YRC Freight and Regional Transportation remain responsible to their customers for complete and proper shipment, including the risk of physical loss or damage of the goods and cargo claims issues. Management believes these policies most accurately reflect revenue as earned. Our revenue-related reserves involve three primary estimates: shipments in transit, rerate reserves and uncollectible accounts.

Shipments in Transit

We assign pricing to bills of lading at the time of shipment based primarily on the weight, general classification of the product, the shipping destination and individual customer discounts. This process is referred to as rating. For shipments in transit, YRC Freight and Regional Transportation record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and accrue delivery costs as incurred. The percentage of service completed for each shipment is based on how far along in the shipment cycle each shipment is in relation to standard transit days. Standard transit days are defined as our published service days between origin zip code and destination zip code. Based on historical cost and engineering studies, certain percentages of revenue are determined to be earned during each stage of the shipment cycle, such as initial pick up, long distance transportation, intermediate transfer and customer delivery. Using standard transit times, we analyze each shipment in transit at a particular period end to determine what stage the shipment is in. We apply that stage's percentage of revenue earned factor to the rated revenue for that shipment to determine the revenue dollars earned by that shipment in the current period. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue. Management believes this provides a reasonable estimation of the portion of in transit revenue actually earned. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our financial statements included deferred revenue as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $26.6 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

Rerate Reserves

At various points throughout our customer invoicing process, incorrect ratings (i.e. prices) could be identified based on many factors, including weight verifications or updated customer discounts. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during the following periods. We accrue a reserve for rerating based on historical trends. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our financial statements included a rerate reserve as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $9.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
Uncollectible Accounts

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based on historical uncollectible amounts. We also take into account known factors surrounding specific customers and overall collection trends. Our process involves performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers, including the market in which they operate and the overall economic conditions. We continually review historical trends and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $9.3 million and $9.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Claims and Self-Insurance

We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers' compensation, cargo loss and damage, property damage and liability claims. We measure the liabilities associated with workers' compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily through actuarial methods performed by an independent third party. Actuarial methods include estimates for the undiscounted liability for

40

Table of Contents

claims reported, for claims incurred but not reported and for certain future administrative costs. These estimates are based on historical loss experience and judgments about the present and expected levels of costs per claim and the time required to settle claims. The effect of future inflation for costs is considered in the actuarial analysis. Actual claims may vary from these estimates due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, accident frequency and severity, claims management, changes in healthcare costs and overall economic conditions. We discount the actuarial calculations of claims liabilities for each calendar year to present value based on the average U.S. Treasury rate, during the calendar year of occurrence, for maturities that match the initial expected payout of the liabilities. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $400.4 million and $437.3 million accrued for claims and insurance, respectively.

Pension

Effective July 1, 2008, we froze our qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for all participating employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Given the frozen status of the plans, the key estimates in determining pension cost are return on plan assets and discount rate, each of which are discussed below.

Return on Plan Assets

The assumption for expected return on plan assets represents a long-term assumption of our portfolio performance that can impact our pension expense. With $808.4 million of plan assets for the YRC Worldwide funded pension plans, a 100-basis-point decrease in the assumption for expected rate of return on assets would increase annual pension expense by approximately $7.6 million and would have no effect on the underfunded pension liability reflected on the balance sheet at December 31, 2013.
We believe our 2014 expected rate of return of 7.00% is appropriate based on our investment portfolio as well as a review of other objective indices. Although plan investments are subject to short-term market volatility, we believe they are well diversified and closely managed. Our asset allocation as of December 31, 2013 consisted of 35% equities, 34% in debt securities, and 31% in absolute return investments and as of December 31, 2012 consisted of 27% equities, 50% in debt securities, 23% in absolute return investments. The 2013 allocation is consistent with the current long-term target asset allocation for the plans which is 33% for equities, 35% for debt securities and 32% for absolute return investments. We will continue to review our expected long-term rate of return on an annual basis and revise appropriately.
Discount Rate

The discount rate refers to the interest rate used to discount the estimated future benefit payments to their present value, also referred to as the benefit obligation. The discount rate allows us to estimate what it would cost to settle the pension obligations as of the measurement date, December 31, and impacts the following year’s pension cost. We determine the discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high quality non-callable bonds with interest payments and maturities generally consistent with our expected benefit payments.
Changes in the discount rate can significantly impact our net pension liability. However, the liability hedging strategy mitigates this impact with additional asset returns. A 100-basis-point decrease in our discount rate would increase our underfunded pension liability by approximately $80.1 million. That same change would decrease our annual pension expense by approximately $6.6 million, driven by the return on assets. The discount rate can fluctuate considerably over periods depending on overall economic conditions that impact long-term corporate bond yields. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we used a discount rate to determine benefit obligations of 5.23% and 4.28%, respectively.
Gains and Losses

Gains and losses occur due to changes in the amount of either the projected benefit obligation or plan assets from experience different than assumed and from changes in assumptions. We recognize an amortization of the net gain or loss as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that net gain or loss exceeds ten percent of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets. If an amortization is required, it equals the amount of net gain or loss that exceeds the ten percent corridor, amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of plan participants.
As of December 31, 2013, the pension plans have net losses of $389.2 million and a projected benefit obligation of $1,188.8 million. The average remaining life expectancy of plan participants is approximately 26 years. For 2014, we expect to amortize approximately $12.6 million of the net loss. The comparable amortization amounts for 2013 and 2012 were $14.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans

YRC Freight, New Penn, Holland and Reddaway contribute to 32 separate multi-employer pension plans for employees that our collective bargaining agreements cover (approximately 78% of total YRC Worldwide employees). The pension plans provide defined benefits to retired participants.  

We do not directly manage multi-employer plans. Trustees, half of whom the respective union appoints and half of whom various contributing employers appoint, manage the trusts covering these plans.

Our collective bargaining agreements with the unions determine the amount of our contributions to these plans. We recognize as net pension expense the contractually required contribution for the respective period and recognize as a liability any contributions due and unpaid.

During the first quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2009, we deferred payment of certain of our contributions to multi-employer pension funds. These deferred payments have been expensed and the liability recorded as deferred contribution obligations. From the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011, our obligations to make certain multi-employer pension contributions under certain of our collective bargaining agreements were temporarily ceased, so no expense was required to be recognized for this period. Effective June 2011, our contribution obligations to the plans resumed at 25% of the rate in effect in July 2009.
 
In 2006, the Pension Protection Act became law and modified both the Internal Revenue Code (as amended, the “Code”) as it applies to multi-employer pension plans and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA”). The Code and ERISA (in each case, as so modified) and related regulations establish minimum funding requirements for multi-employer pension plans. The funding status of these plans is determined by many factors, including the following factors:

the number of participating active and retired employees
the number of contributing employers
the amount of each employer's contractual contribution requirements
the investment returns of the plans
plan administrative costs
the number of employees and retirees participating in the plan who no longer have a contributing employer
the discount rate used to determine the funding status
the actuarial attributes of plan participants (such as age, estimated life and number of years until retirement)
the benefits defined by the plan

If any of our multi-employer pension plans fail to:

meet minimum funding requirements
meet a required funding improvement or rehabilitation plan that the Pension Protection Act may require for certain of our underfunded plans
obtain from the IRS certain changes to or a waiver of the requirements in how the applicable plan calculates its funding levels or
reduce pension benefits to a level where the requirements are met,

we could be required to make additional contributions to our multi-employer pension plans.

If any of our multi-employer pension plans enters critical status and our contributions are not sufficient to satisfy any rehabilitation plan schedule, the Pension Protection Act could require us to make additional contributions to the multi-employer pension plan from five to ten percent of the contributions that our collective bargaining agreements requires until the agreement expires.

If we fail to make our required contributions to a multi-employer plan under a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan or if the benchmarks that an applicable funding improvement plan provides are not met by the end of a prescribed period, the IRS could impose an excise tax on us with respect to the plan. Such an excise tax would then be assessed to the plan's contributing employers, including the Company. These excise taxes are not contributed to the deficient funds, but rather are deposited in the United States general treasury funds. The Company does not believe that the temporary cessation of certain of its contributions to applicable multi-employer pension funds from the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011 will give rise to these excise taxes as we believe these contributions were not required for that period.

Depending on the amount involved, a requirement to increase contributions beyond our contractually agreed rate or the imposition of an excise tax on us could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

Funded Status of the Multi-Employer Pension Plans and Contingent Withdrawal Liabilities

The plan administrators and trustees of multi-employer pension plans do not routinely provide us with current information regarding the funded status of the plans. Much of our information regarding the funded status has been (i) obtained from public filings using publicly available plan asset values, which are often dated, and (ii) based on the limited information available from plan administrators or trustees, which has not been independently validated.

The Pension Protection Act provides that certain plans with a funded percentage of less than 65%, or that fail other tests, will be deemed to be in critical status. Plans in critical status must create a rehabilitation plan to exit critical status within periods that the Pension Protection Act prescribes. We believe that based on information obtained from public filings and from plan administrators and trustees, many of the multi-employer pension plans in which we participate, including The Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan, Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund and Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund, are in critical status.  If the funding of the multi-employer pension plans does not reach certain goals (including those required not to enter endangered or critical status or those required by a plan's funding improvement or rehabilitation plan), our pension expenses could further increase.

We believe that based on information obtained from public filings and from plan administrators and trustees, our portion of the contingent liability in the case of a full withdrawal or termination from all of the multi-employer pension plans would be an estimated $10 billion on a pre-tax basis. Our applicable subsidiaries have no current intention of taking any action that would subject us to payment of material withdrawal obligations.

Property and Equipment and Definite Life Intangibles

Impairment Testing

We review property and equipment and definite life intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

We believe that the accounting estimate related to asset impairment is a critical accounting estimate because: (1) it requires management to make assumptions about future revenues and expenses over the life of the asset, and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on our financial position, as well as our results of operations, could be material. Management's assumptions about future revenues and expenses require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and may continue to do so. In estimating future revenues and expenses, we use our internal business forecasts. We develop our forecasts based on recent revenue and expense data for existing services and other industry and economic factors. To
the extent that the Company is unable to achieve its forecast, it may incur significant impairment losses on property and equipment or intangible assets.

Depreciable Lives of Assets

We review the appropriateness of depreciable lives for each category of property and equipment. These studies utilize models, which take into account actual usage, physical wear and tear, and replacement history to calculate remaining life of our asset base. For revenue equipment, we consider the optimal life cycle usage of each type of equipment, including the ability to utilize the equipment in different parts of the fleet or at different operating units in the organization. Capital, engine replacement, refurbishment and maintenance costs are considered in determining total cost of ownership and related useful lives for purposes of depreciation recognition. We also make assumptions regarding future conditions in determining potential salvage values. These assumptions impact the amount of depreciation expense recognized in the period and any gain or loss once the asset is disposed.

Tires

The cost of replacement tires are expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repairs and maintenance costs. The cost of tires on newly-acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment.

Indefinite Life Intangibles

Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which consist of our tradenames, are not subject to amortization, but are subjected to an impairment test at least annually and as triggering events may occur. The impairment test for tradenames consists of a comparison of the fair value of the tradename with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In making this assessment, we utilized the relief from royalty method, an income approach (a level 3 fair value measurement), which includes assumptions as to future revenue, applicable royalty rate and cost of capital, among others.

We believe that the accounting estimate related to indefinite life intangibles is a critical accounting estimate because (1) it requires our management to make assumptions about fair values, and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment could be material to our financial position, as well as our results of operations. Management's assumptions about fair values require considerable judgment because changes in broad economic factors and industry factors can result in variable and volatile fair values. Assumptions with respect to rates used to discount cash flows, a key input, are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to reflect income taxes on our financial statements. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities by applying enacted tax rates to the differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and to loss carryforwards. Tax credit carryforwards are recorded as deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. We assess the validity of deferred tax assets and loss and tax credit carryforwards and provide valuation allowances when we determine, based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets, losses, or credits will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision or in equity if directly related to other comprehensive income (loss), unless affected by a specific intra-period allocation as happened in 2013 and explained in the "Income Taxes" footnote to our consolidated financial statements, in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. We have not recognized deferred taxes relative to foreign subsidiaries’ earnings that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. Any related taxes associated with such earnings are not material.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to a variety of market risks, including the effects of interest rates, foreign exchange rates and fuel prices.

Interest Rates

To provide adequate funding through seasonal business cycles and minimize overall borrowing costs, we utilize both fixed rate and variable rate financial instruments with varying maturities. At December 31, 2013, we had approximately 32% of our outstanding debt at fixed rates. If interest rates for our variable rate long-term debt had averaged 10% more during the year, our interest expense would have increased, and income before taxes would have decreased by $1.5 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The table below provides information regarding the interest rates on our then-existing fixed-rate debt as of December 31, 2013.

On February 13, 2014, we completed the 2014 Financing Transactions which will change the interest rate assumptions for our new outstanding debt instruments. Please refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote included to our consolidated financial statements for more details.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Revenue, operating expenses, assets and liabilities of our Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries and our Chinese joint venture are denominated in local currencies, thereby creating exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. The risks related to foreign currency exchange rates are not significant to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Fuel Prices

YRC Freight and Regional Transportation currently have effective fuel surcharge programs in place. These programs are well established within the industry and customer acceptance of fuel surcharges remains high. Since the amount of fuel surcharge is based on average, national diesel fuel prices and is reset weekly, our exposure to fuel price volatility is significantly reduced. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel prices are beneficial to us, and falling fuel prices are detrimental to us, in the short term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload ("LTL") networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through its team of experienced service professionals, YRC Worldwide offers industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our reporting segments include the following:

YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international markets. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC Freight”) and Reimer Express (“YRC Reimer”), a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

In 2011 we reported a Truckload reporting segment, which consisted of USF Glen Moore, Inc. ("Glen Moore"), a former domestic truckload carrier. On December 15, 2011, we sold the majority of Glen Moore's assets to a third party and concluded its operations.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Our investment in the non-majority owned affiliate in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary is accounted for on the equity method. Other comprehensive loss attributable to our noncontrolling interest was not significant for any period presented. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting policies refer to specific accounting principles and the methods of applying those principles to fairly present our financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies discussed below include those that management has determined to be the most appropriate in preparing our financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes which are classified within accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in book overdrafts are reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Other

We sell services and extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintain allowances for anticipated losses.

At December 31, 2013, approximately 78% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements. As part of the 2014 Financing Transactions (which is described more fully in the "2014 Financing Transaction" footnote to our consolidated financial statements), the primary labor agreement was modified to, among other things, extend the expiration date of our previous agreement from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2019. This extension also extended the contribution rates under our multi-employer pension plan. The modification provided for lump sum payments in lieu of wage increases in 2014 and 2015, but provided for wage increases in 2016 through 2019. We will amortize these lump sum payments over the period in which the wages will not be increased beginning on April 1, 2014. Finally, the modification provided for certain changes to work rules and our use of purchased transportation in certain situations.

Revenue Recognition

For shipments in transit, we record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and accrue delivery costs as incurred. The percentage of service completed for each shipment is based on how far along in the shipment cycle each shipment is in relation to standard transit days. Standard transit days are defined as our published service days between origin zip code and destination zip code. Based on historical cost and engineering studies, certain percentages of revenue are determined to be earned during each stage of the shipment cycle, such as initial pick up, long distance transportation, intermediate transfer and customer delivery. Using standard transit times, we analyze each shipment in transit at a particular period end to determine what stage the shipment is in. We apply that stage's percentage of revenue earned factor to the rated revenue for that shipment to determine the revenue dollars earned by that shipment in the current period. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue.
 
In addition, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we are the primary obligors even when we use other transportation service providers who act on our behalf. We remain responsible to our customers for complete and proper shipment, including the risk of physical loss or damage of the goods and cargo claims issues. We assign pricing to bills of lading at the time of shipment based primarily on the weight, general classification of the product, the shipping destination and individual customer discounts. This process is referred to as rating. At various points throughout our process, incorrect ratings could be identified based on many factors, including weight verifications or updated customer discounts. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during the following periods. We accrue a reserve for rerating based on historical trends. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our financial statements included a rerate reserve as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $9.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively.

Uncollectible Accounts

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based on historical uncollectible amounts. We also take into account known factors surrounding specific customers and overall collection trends. Our process involves performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers, including the market in which they operate and the overall economic conditions. We continually review historical trends and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $9.3 million and $9.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Foreign Currency

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, whereas, our foreign operations utilize the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, for purposes of translating foreign subsidiary financial statements to the U.S. dollar reporting currency, assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated at the fiscal year end exchange rates and income and expenses are translated monthly, at the average exchange rates for each respective month, with changes recognized in other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions resulted in a $3.7 million net gain, $2.0 million net gain and a $5.2 million net gain during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in “Other nonoperating (income) expense” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Claims and Insurance Accruals

Claims and insurance accruals, both current and long-term, reflect the estimated settlement cost of claims for workers' compensation, cargo loss and damage, and property damage and liability that insurance does not cover. We establish and modify reserve estimates for workers' compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily upon actuarial analyses prepared by independent actuaries. These reserves are discounted to present value using a risk-free rate based on the year of occurrence. The risk-free rate is the U.S. Treasury rate for maturities that match the expected payout of such claims and was 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.8% for workers' compensation claims incurred as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The rate was 0.3%, 0.3% and 0.5% for property damage and liability claims incurred as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The process of determining reserve requirements utilizes historical trends and involves an evaluation of accident frequency and severity, claims management, changes in health care costs and certain future administrative costs. The effect of future inflation for costs is considered in the actuarial analysis. Adjustments to previously established reserves are included in operating results in the year of adjustment. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $400.4 million and $437.3 million, respectively, accrued for claims and insurance.

Stock Compensation Plans

We have various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the "Stock Compensation Plans" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We recognize compensation costs for non-vested shares and compensation cost for all share-based payments (i.e., options) based on the grant date fair value. Additionally, we recognize compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally three to four years) based on the grant-date fair value.

Revenue equipment
10 - 20
Technology equipment and software

Other
3 - 10

We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and betterments are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the remaining lease term.

Our investment in technology equipment and software consists primarily of customer service and freight management equipment and related software.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense was $153.8 million, $165.2 million, and $173.8 million, respectively.

The cost of replacement tires are expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repair and maintenance costs. The cost of tires on newly acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of held-and-used identifiable amortizable intangibles and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360. Our evaluation compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if a reduction to the carrying amount is required. The carrying amount of an impaired asset would be reduced to fair value if the estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. We performed impairment reviews for held-and-used long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in connection with an update of our internal business forecasts that considered current economic conditions and results of operations.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we determined that the estimated fair value of JHJ International Transportation Company, Ltd ("JHJ"), a 50% owned equity investment, did not exceed its carrying amount and resulted in an impairment charge of $30.8 million. This determination was based upon market information we obtained in the fourth quarter of 2012 (a Level 3 fair value measurement). This impairment charge was recorded in equity investment impairment in the "Corporate and Other" segment in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we determined the estimated fair value of Jiayu, a 65% owned equity investment at the time, did not exceed its carrying amount and resulted in an impairment charge of $1.3 million on the property, plant and equipment, primarily based on the used revenue equipment market in China (a Level 3 fair value measurement), and $2.7 million

56

Table of Contents

on the intangibles. These impairment charges were recorded in depreciation and amortization in the "Corporate and Other" segment in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property that is considered as held for sale.

At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net book value of assets held for sale was approximately $17.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $3.9 million, $13.2 million and $17.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “Gains on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Earnings from Equity Method Investments

We account for the ownership of our joint venture under the equity method and accordingly, recognize our share of the respective joint ventures earnings in “Other nonoperating (income) expense” in the accompanying statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We determined fair value measurements used in our consolidated financial statements based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level with the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial assets could result

57

in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets held at fair value on a recurring basis, which consists of our restricted cash held in escrow:

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension gain (loss) totaling $9.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the "Employee Benefits" footnote.

3. Investment

Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd.

On August 19, 2008, we completed the purchase of a 65% equity interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”), a Shanghai, China ground transportation company with a purchase price of $59.4 million. Through March 31, 2010, we accounted for our 65% ownership interest in Jiayu as an equity method investment as the rights of the minority shareholder were considered extensive and allowed for his ability to veto many business decisions. These rights were primarily provided as a part of the General Manager role held by the minority shareholder. Effective April, 1, 2010, the minority shareholder no longer had a role in managing the operations of the business which changed the conclusions from an accounting perspective regarding the relationship of this joint venture and required that we consolidate Jiayu in our financial statements effective April 1, 2010. The results of operations for Jiayu were included in our ‘Corporate and other’ reporting segment from April 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012. In an effort to focus on our core operations, we entered into an agreement in March 2012 to sell our 65% equity interest in Jiayu to the minority shareholder. The transaction closed during the fourth quarter of 2012. At the time the agreement was entered into, management control was passed to the minority shareholder and, as a result, we deconsolidated our interest in Jiayu during March 2012 and returned to accounting for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. Based on the March 2012 agreement, we recorded our equity method investment at its estimated fair value of $0 and wrote off a $12.0 million note receivable from Jiayu. After consideration of the non-controlling interest and other factors, we recognized a loss of $4.2 million upon the deconsolidation of our investment during 2012. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest was allocated a $4.2 million gain on this transaction.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which consist of our tradenames, are not subject to amortization, but are subjected to an impairment test at least annually and as triggering events may occur. The impairment test for tradenames consists of a comparison of the fair value of the tradename with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In making this assessment, we utilized the relief from royalty method, an income approach (a level 3 fair value measurement), which includes assumptions as to future revenue, applicable royalty rate and cost of capital, among others.

5. Network Optimization

In the second quarter of 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment implemented its plan to optimize its freight network. This optimization reduced the number of handling and relay locations. Costs associated with this plan, which consist of employee separation costs and contract termination, asset impairments and other costs, are recorded at either their contractual amounts or their fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $7.8 million related to these costs in the YRC Freight reporting segment.

Charges for the network optimization are included in "Salaries, wages and employees' benefits" as it relates to employee separation costs and "Operating expenses and supplies" as is relates to contract termination and other costs in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. In addition to the charges detailed below, we have recorded impairment charges on facilities that are part of the network optimization totaling $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. These charges are included in "(Gains) losses on property disposals, net" in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

A rollforward of our restructuring accrual (which includes both our 2013 Network Optimization and our 2010 restructuring) is as follows:

7. Employee Benefits

Qualified and Nonqualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans

With the exception of Regional Transportation, YRC Reimer and certain of our other foreign subsidiaries, YRC Worldwide and its operating subsidiaries sponsor qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for certain employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements (approximately 14,000 current, former and retired employees). Qualified and nonqualified pension benefits are based on years of service and the employees' covered earnings. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements participate in various multi-employer pension plans to which YRC Worldwide contributes, as discussed below. Regional Transportation does not offer a defined benefit pension plan and instead offers retirement benefits through either contributory 401(k) savings plans or profit sharing plans, as discussed below. The existing YRC Worldwide defined benefit pension plans closed to new participants effective January 1, 2004 and the benefit accrual for active employees was frozen effective July 1, 2008. Our actuarial valuation measurement date for our pension plans is December 31.

The discount rate refers to the interest rate used to discount the estimated future benefit payments to their present value, also referred to as the benefit obligation. The discount rate allows us to estimate what it would cost to settle the pension obligations as of the measurement date, December 31, and is used as the interest rate factor in the following year's pension cost. We determine the discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high quality noncallable bonds such that the coupons and maturities exceed our expected benefit payments.

In determining the expected rate of return on assets, we consider our historical experience in the plans' investment portfolio, historical market data and long-term historical relationships as well as a review of other objective indices including current market factors such as inflation and interest rates. Although plan investments are subject to short-term market volatility, we believe they are well diversified and closely managed. Our asset allocation as of December 31, 2013, consisted of 35% equities, 34% in debt securities and 31% in absolute return investments and as of December 31, 2012 consisted of 27% equities, 50% in debt securities and 23% in absolute return investments. The 2013 allocations are consistent with the targeted long-term asset allocation for the plans which is 33% equities, 35% debt securities and 32% absolute return investments. Based on various market factors, we selected an expected rate of return on assets of 7.0% effective for the 2013 and 2012 valuations. We will continue to review our expected long-term rate of return on an annual basis and revise appropriately. The pension trust holds no YRC Worldwide securities.

Future Contributions and Benefit Payments

We expect to contribute approximately $79.9 million to our single employer pension plans in 2014.

Expected benefit payments from our qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for each of the next five years and the total payments for the following five years ended December 31 are as follows:

Fair Value Measurement

Our pension assets are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The majority of our assets are invested in Level 2 assets of fixed income funds and absolute return investments. These funds are valued at quoted redemption values that represent the net asset values of units held at year-end which we have determined approximates fair value.

Investments in private equities and absolute return funds do not have readily available market values. These estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed, and such differences could be material. Investments in hedge funds that do not have an established market are valued at net asset values as determined by the investment managers, which we have determined approximates fair value.

Redemptions are not permitted for two of the Level 3 fixed income funds. The third fund has redemption terms of quarterly after the second anniversary and a 90 day redemption notice period.

The assets presented in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 fair value hierarchy tables classified as Level 1 and Level 2, which fair value is estimated using NAV per share, have redemption frequencies ranging from daily to annually, have redemption notice periods from approximately 1 day to 90 days and have no unfunded commitments. These assets consist of equity, fixed income, and absolute return funds. Generally, the investment strategies of the fixed income and equity funds is based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and consists of long and hedged strategies. The general strategy of the absolute return funds consists of alternative investment techniques, including derivative instruments and other unconventional assets, to achieve a stated return rate.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans

YRC Freight, New Penn, Holland and Reddaway contribute to various separate multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans for employees that are covered by our collective bargaining agreements (approximately 78% of total YRC Worldwide employees). The collective bargaining agreements determine the amounts of these contributions. The health and welfare plans provide medical related benefits to active employees and retirees. The pension plans provide defined benefits to retired participants. We recognize as net pension cost within 'salaries, wages and employee benefits' the contractually required contributions for the period and recognize as a liability any contributions due and unpaid at period end. We do not directly manage multi-employer plans. The trusts covering these plans are generally managed by trustees, half of whom the unions appoint and half of whom various contributing employers appoint.

We expensed the following amounts related to these plans for the years ended December 31:

Pension

Through the third quarter of 2009, we deferred payment of certain of our contributions to multi-employer pension funds. These deferred payments have been recognized as an operating expense and the liability was recorded as deferred contribution obligations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011, most of our collective bargaining agreements provided for a temporary cessation of pension contributions so no expense or liability was required to be recognized for that period. In accordance with modifications to our collective bargaining agreements, we agreed to resume making pension contributions effective June 1, 2011 at 25.0% of the contribution rate in effect as of July 1, 2009.

The following table provides additional information related to our participation in individually significant multi-employer pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2013:

(a) The determination of individually significant multi-employer plans is based on the relative contributions to the plans over the periods presented as well as other factors.
(b) The Pension Protection Zone Status is based on information that the Company obtained from the plans' Forms 5500. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available for 2013 and 2012 is for the plan's year-end during calendar years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.
(c) The policies of the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust precluded the Company from reentering the plan on June 1, 2011. The plan did not assess a withdrawal liability and has not done so since June 1, 2011. Contributions related to the employees previously covered by this plan are now being made to the Teamsters National 401(k) Plan.

YRC Worldwide was listed in the Central States, Southwest and Southwest Areas Pension Plan, Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund and Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund's Forms 5500 as providing more than 5 percent of the total contributions for 2012 and 2011.

We contributed a total of $88.7 million, $84.9 million and $45.6 million to the multi-employer pension funds for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The comparability of annual contributions for 2011 through 2013 is primarily impacted by the temporary cessation of contributions for the period from the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011.

In 2006, the Pension Protection Act became law and modified both the Internal Revenue Code (as amended, the “Code”) as it applies to multi-employer pension plans and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA”). The Code and ERISA (in each case, as so modified) and related regulations establish minimum funding requirements for multi-employer pension plans.

If any of our multi-employer pension plans fails to meet minimum funding requirements, meet a required funding improvement or rehabilitation plan that the Pension Protection Act may require for certain of our underfunded plans, obtain from the IRS certain changes to or a waiver of the requirements in how the applicable plan calculates its funding levels, or reduce pension benefits to a level where the requirements are met then we could be required to make additional contributions to the pension plan. If any of our multi-employer pension plans enters critical status and our contributions are not sufficient to satisfy any rehabilitation plan schedule, the Pension Protection Act could require us to make additional surcharge contributions to the multi-employer pension

plan in the amount of five to ten percent of the existing contributions required by our labor agreement for the remaining term of the labor agreement.

If we fail to make our required contributions to a multi-employer plan under a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan or if the benchmarks that an applicable funding improvement plan provides are not met by the end of a prescribed period, the IRS could impose an excise tax on us with respect to the plan. Such an excise tax would then be assessed to the plan's contributing employers, including the Company. These excise taxes are not contributed to the deficient funds, but rather are deposited in the United States general treasury funds. The Company does not believe that the temporary cessation of certain of its contributions to applicable multi-employer pension funds beginning in the third quarter of 2009 and continuing through May 2011 will give rise to these excise taxes as the underlying employer contributions were not required for that period.

A requirement to materially increase contributions beyond our contractually agreed rate or the imposition of an excise tax on us could have a material adverse impact on the financial results and liquidity of YRC Worldwide.

401(k) Savings Plans

We sponsor the YRC Worldwide Inc. 401(k) Plan, which is a defined contribution plan primarily for employees that our collective bargaining agreements do not cover. The plan permits participants to make contributions to the plan and permits the employer of participants to make contributions on behalf of the participants. There were no employer contributions in 2013, 2012 or 2011. Our employees covered under collective bargaining agreements may also participate in union-sponsored 401(k) plans.

Performance Incentive Awards

YRC Worldwide and its operating subsidiaries each provide annual performance incentive awards and more frequent sales incentive awards to certain non-union employees, which are based primarily on actual operating results achieved compared to targeted operating results or sales targets and are paid in cash. Operating (loss) income in 2013, 2012, and 2011 included performance and sales incentive expense for non-union employees of $14.5 million, $12.3 million, and $13.9 million, respectively. We generally pay annual performance incentive awards in the first quarter of the following year and sales performance incentive awards on a monthly basis.

Other

We provide a performance based incentive plan to key management personnel that provides the opportunity annually to earn cash and equity awards to further compensate certain levels of management. The equity awards are more fully described in the "Stock Compensation Plans" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense related to these awards was $5.8 million, $3.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

8. 2014 Financing Transactions

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) deposit with the trustee funds sufficient to repay our 6% Convertible Senior Notes ("6% Notes") at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase approximately $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series A Notes"). The Company will redeem the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014. In February 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million with the trustee in order to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes.

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series B Notes") exchanged their outstanding balances (including the make-whole premium and additional accrued interest through January 15, 2014) at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while certain other holders converted their Series B Notes in accordance with their terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("Second A&R CDA"), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("A&R

CDA") (which agreement is discussed in our "Debt and Financing footnote"), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date (as defined therein), (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our existing credit facilities (as discussed in our "Debt and Financing" footnote) with a new $450 million New ABL Facility (the "New ABL Facility") and a new $700 million term loan facility ("New Term Loan"). The New ABL Facility will be used to support our $364.6 million of outstanding letters of credit commitments as of December 31, 2013.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the "2014 Financing Transactions." The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

In 2014, we will account for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We anticipate recording a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $15 million associated with this transaction in the first quarter of 2014. We paid approximately $40 million of fees associated with these transactions of which approximately $25 million will be recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2014 and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the New Term Loan and New ABL Facility and approximately $15 million will offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

$700 Million First Lien Term Loan

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we borrowed in full $700 million, and received in cash less a 1% discount, from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) and RBS Citizens, N.A. No amounts under this New Term Loan, once repaid, may be reborrowed. Certain material provisions of the New Term Loan are summarized below:


68

Table of Contents

- Maturity and Amortization: The New Term Loan matures on February 13, 2019. The New Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing date.

- Incremental: Subject to finding current or new lenders willing to provide such commitments, the Company has the right to incur one or more increases to the New Term Loan and/or one or more new tranches of term loans (which may be unsecured or secured on a junior basis) to be made available under the New Term Loan credit agreement which shall not exceed (i) $250 million so long as the senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed 3.25 to 1.0, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan.

- Interest and Fees: The New Term Loan bears interest, at the election of the borrower, at either the applicable London interbank offer rate ("LIBOR") (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 7.00% per annum, or a rate determined by reference to the alternate base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the administrative agent, the federal fund rate plus 0.50% and one month, LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 6.00%.
- Guarantors: The obligations of the borrower under the New Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company (the “Term Guarantors”).
- Collateral: The New Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors under the New Term Loan (the “Term Guarantors”), except that accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable are subject to a second priority interest (subject to permitted liens) and certain owned real property securing the obligations under the Second A&R CDA filed January 31, 2014, do not secure the obligations under the New Term Loan credit agreement (the “CDA Collateral”).
- Mandatory Prepayments: The New Term Loan includes the following mandatory prepayments:
50% of excess cash flow (paid if permitted under the New ABL Facility), subject to step downs to (x) 25% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.
100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or similar dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business and casualty events (subject to materiality thresholds and customary reinvestment rights)
100% of cash proceeds from debt issuances that are not permitted by the New Term Loan documentation.

- Events of Default: The New Term Loan documentation contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New Term Loan, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the Term Guarantors in excess of $30 million, the commencement of certain insolvency proceedings, liquidations or dissolutions, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (other than the New ABL Facility), and cross-acceleration to the New ABL Facility.
- Covenants: The New Term Loan contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for financial covenants for each of the remaining test periods.
$450 Million ABL Facility

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we entered into the New ABL Facility which is an asset-based $450 million loan facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by RBS Citizens, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The New ABL Facility terminates on February 13, 2019 (the “Termination Date”). The Company, YRC Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Holland Inc. and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. are borrowers under the New ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Certain material provisions of the New ABL Facility are summarized below:
- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the New ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the sum of (i) eligible accounts minus without duplication (ii) the dilution reserve, plus (b) 100% of eligible borrowing base cash (which constitutes cash that has been deposited from time to time in a restricted account with the agent), minus (c) the deferred revenue reserve (which constitutes 85% of the “deferred revenue liability” as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal month), minus (d) the availability reserve imposed by the agent in its permitted discretion (made in good-faith and using reasonable business judgment). Upon entering the New ABL Facility on February 13, 2014, based upon the availability calculation, the New ABL Facility did not have any borrowing capacity.

- Interest and Fees: Revolving loans made under the New ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, of either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or the base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus 1.5% from the closing date through March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the interest rates will be subject to the following price grid based on the average quarterly excess availability under the revolver:

The rates set forth above are subject to a 0.25% reduction during any fiscal quarter for which the Company has a total leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00.
- Fees: Fees in respect of the New ABL Facility include: (i) an unused line fee payable quarterly in arrears calculated by multiplying the amount by which the commitments exceed the loans and letters of credit for any calendar quarter by the unused line fee percentage (such unused line fee percentage initially to 0.250% per annum through March 31, 2014, and thereafter 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.250% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%); (ii) fees for the letter of credit facility payable quarterly in arrears which are comprised of the applicable margin in effect for LIBOR loans multiplied by the average daily stated amount of letters of credit; (iii) fronting fees for letters of credit payable quarterly in arrears equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of the letters of credit; (vi) fees to issuing banks to compensate for customary charges related to the issuance and administration of letters of credit; and (v) such fees as set forth in the fee letter arrangement dated as of February 13, 2014 by and between the agent and the Company
- Collateral: The obligations under the New ABL Facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) all accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than CDA Collateral.
- Incremental: The New ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future to support borrowing base growth.
- Events of Default: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New ABL Facility, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the New ABL Facility loan parties in excess of $30 million, the commencement of any insolvency proceeding, liquidation or dissolution, and a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (including the New Term Loan).
- Covenants: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including certain customary provisions regarding borrowing base reporting, and including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt). Certain of the covenants relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions, as applicable. Payment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default arising from such transaction, (ii) liquidity of at least $100 million or availability of at least $67.5 million and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most recent term period on a pro forma basis is equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00). Debt repayment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default from repaying such debt and (ii) availability on the date of repayment is not less than $67.5 million. During any period commencing when the New ABL Facility borrowers fail to maintain availability in an amount at least equal to 10% of the collateral line cap and until the borrowers have maintained availability of at least 10% of the collateral line cap for 30 consecutive calendar days, the New ABL Facility loan parties are required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. The “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” is defined as (a) (i) consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such period, minus (ii) capital expenditures made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of net cash taxes paid in cash during such period, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the cash pension contribution for such period exceeds the pension expense for such period, and plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the pension expense for such period exceeds the cash pension contribution for such period, divided by (b) the consolidated fixed charges for such period. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

9. Debt and Financing

As of December 31, 2013 we had two primary credit facilities that we utilized to support our liquidity needs: the amended and restated credit agreement and an asset-based lending facility (the "Prior ABL Facility," collectively referred to as our “Prior Credit Facilities”) and were also party to a number of other financing arrangements. On February 13, 2014, we completed our 2014 Financing Transactions which substantially changed the makeup of our outstanding debt. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for further details. We have set forth a brief description of our two primary credit facilities and our other financing arrangements in place at December 31, 2013 below.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- Overview: Our amended and restated credit agreement provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $307.4 million ("Prior Term Loan") and a letter of credit facility of up to $437.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, we had repaid $9.3 million in aggregate principal on the Prior Term Loan. Certain material provisions of the amended and restated credit agreement are summarized below:

- Maturity and Amortization: The Prior Term Loan and, subject to the ability to replace or substitute letters of credit, the letters of credit, would mature on March 31, 2015. The Prior Term Loan did not amortize.
- Interest and Fees: After giving effect to the Credit Agreement Amendment (defined below) on November 12, 2013, the Prior Term Loan, at our option, bore interest at either (x) 6.00% in excess of the alternate base rate (i.e., the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%) in effect from time to time, or (y) 7.00% in excess of the London interbank offer rate (adjusted for maximum reserves). The London interbank offer rate was subject to a floor of 3.50% and the alternate base rate was subject to a floor of the then-applicable London interbank offer rate plus 1.0%. The stated interest rate floor of 10.0% was in effect since issuance.
Issued but undrawn letters of credit were subject to a participation fee equal to 8.00% of the average daily amount of letter of credit exposure. Any commitment available to be used to issue letters of credit was subject to a commitment fee of 8.00% of the average daily unused commitment. Letters of credit were subject to a 1% fronting fee or as mutually agreed between the Company and the applicable issuing bank.
- Collateral: The collateral securing the obligations under the credit agreement and guarantees entered into pursuant thereto included, subject to certain customary exceptions, all shares of capital stock of (or other ownership equity interests in) and intercompany debt owned by the Company and each present and future Guarantor and substantially all present and future property and assets of the Company or each Guarantor, except to the extent a security interest resulted in a breach, termination or default by the terms of the collateral being granted.
Pursuant to the terms under the amended and restated credit agreement, we were required to deposit an amount into escrow accounts to secure our obligations under the credit agreement. This amount totaled $0.6 million and $12.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is included in "Restricted amounts held in escrow," a non-current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of the 2012 balance was returned as part of the November 2013 amendment discussed below. The liens on the collateral securing the obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement and guarantees entered into pursuant thereto were junior to the liens securing the obligations under the amended and restated contribution deferral agreement solely with respect to certain parcels of owned real property on which the pension funds have a senior lien and certain other customary permitted liens.

- Amendment: On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment"), which, among other things, reset future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and reset the minimum cash balance requirement. Further, the Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, (i) included a new definition of Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA added for the purposes of the minimum available cash requirement as described above to be calculated by adding to Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain limitations, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies associated with any restructuring transactions (and implementation thereof) (but not to exceed the actual amount deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income for any such costs and expenses), in the case of each such restructuring transaction (and implementation thereof), occurring on or after November 12, 2013, and projected by us in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within ninety (90) days of the date thereof; (ii) increased the interest rate and commitment fee payable under our credit agreement by 50 basis points (to the interest rate commitment fee set forth in "Interest and Fees" above); (iii) waived the requirement to continue to cash collateralize letters of credit with existing net cash proceeds received from asset sales up to $12.5 million (including release of such cash proceeds); (iv) required payment of an amendment fee to each consenting

lender of 1.0% of their outstanding exposure; and (v) added a new “Event of Default” that required the  6% Convertible Senior Notes to be repaid, refinanced, replaced, restructured or extended on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness. Refer to the "Liquidity" footnote of our consolidated financial statements for covenants for each of the remaining test periods. On January 30, 2014, YRC Worldwide entered into a subsequent amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement, which, among other things, (i) extended the date in the “Event of Default” requirement for the repayment of the 6% Convertible Senior Notes from February 1, 2014 to February 13, 2014, (ii) eased the available cash conditions through February 13, 2014 and (iii) made certain other changes to effectuate the 2014 Financing Transactions.
Prior ABL Facility

- Overview: Our Prior ABL Facility provided for a $175.0 million ABL first-out delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term A Facility”) and a $225.0 million ABL last-out term loan facility (the “Term B Facility”). We collectively refer to these term loan facilities as our “Prior ABL Facility.” The Prior ABL Facility was to terminate on September 30, 2014 (the “Termination Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Prior ABL Facility, YRC Freight, Holland and Reddaway (each, one of our subsidiaries and each, an “Originator”) would each sell, on an ongoing basis, all accounts receivable originated by that Originator to YRCW Receivables LLC, a bankruptcy remote, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which we refer to herein as the “Prior ABL Borrower."

- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the Prior ABL Facility was subject to a borrowing base equal to 85% of Net Eligible Receivables, plus 100% of the portion of the Prior ABL Facility that was cash collateralized, minus reserves established by the Agent in its permitted discretion.

- Interest and Fees: After giving effect to the ABL Credit Agreement Amendment on November 12, 2013 (described below), interest on outstanding borrowings was payable at a rate per annum equal to the reserve adjusted LIBOR rate (which is the greater of the adjusted LIBOR rate and 1.50%) or the “ABR Rate” (which was the greatest of the applicable prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin, which, for loans under the Term A Facility were equal to 7.50% for LIBOR rate advances and 6.50% for ABR Rate advances, and for loans under the Term B Facility are equal to 10.25% for LIBOR rate advances and 9.25% for ABR Rate advances. We were required to pay a commitment fee equal to 7.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the commitment in respect of the Term A Facility.

- Collateral: The ABL Facility was secured by a perfected first priority security interest in and lien (subject to permitted liens) upon all accounts receivable (and the related rights) of the ABL Borrower, together with deposit accounts into which the proceeds from such accounts receivable were remitted (collectively, the “ABL Collateral”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Prior ABL Facility, we were required to deposit an aggregate amount equal to $90.0 million into escrow accounts to secure our obligations under the Prior ABL Facility, which amounts we expected to remain in escrow for the term of the Prior ABL Facility; this amount is included in “Restricted amounts held in escrow,” a current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which includes accrued interest. Pursuant to the terms of a standstill agreement, certain trucks, other vehicles, rolling stock, terminals, depots or other storage facilities, in each case, whether leased or owned, were subject to a standstill period in favor of the collateral agent, the administrative agent and the other secured parties under the Prior ABL Facility for a period of 10 business days (absent any exigent circumstances arising as a result of fraud, theft, concealment, destruction, waste or abscondment) with respect to the exercise of rights and remedies by the secured parties with respect to those assets under our other material debt agreements.

- Amendment: On November 12, 2013, YRCW Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the Prior ABL Facility (the "Prior ABL Credit Agreement Amendment"), which, among other things, reset the minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant (as defined in the Prior ABL Facility) for each of the remaining test periods in a manner identical to the amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the Prior ABL Credit Agreement Amendment and increased the interest rate payable under the ABL Facility by 50 basis points. The Company agreed to pay all consenting lenders a fee equal to 1.0% of their outstanding loans and unused commitments.

Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes

On July 22, 2011, we issued $140.0 million in aggregate principal of our Series A Notes that bear interest at a stated rate of 10% per year and mature on March 31, 2015. Interest is payable on a semiannual basis in arrears only in-kind through the issuance of additional Series A Notes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $177.8 million and $161.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding, after giving effect to the payment in-kind of interest on the Series A Notes. We could redeem the Series A Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. As discussed in the “2014 Refinancing” footnote, on February 13, 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million (including accrued interest) with the trustee in order to fund the redemption of the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014, thereby discharging the indenture governing the Series A Notes.

The Series A Notes became convertible into our common stock beginning July 22, 2013. Subject to certain limitations on conversion and issuance of shares, holders can convert any outstanding Series A Notes into shares of our common stock at the conversion price per share of approximately $34.0059 and a conversion rate of 29.4067 common shares per $1,000 of the Series A Notes. See "Conversions" section below for additional details regarding conversions on our Series A Notes.
The holders of the Series A Notes are entitled to vote with our common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis, provided that, such number of votes shall be limited to 0.1089 votes for each such share of common stock on an as-converted-to-common stock-basis.
The indenture governing the Series A Notes contained covenants limiting, among other things, us and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to (i) create liens on assets and (ii) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our and our guarantors' assets.
The Series A Notes were guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement. The Series A Notes and the guarantees of the Series A Notes were our and the guarantors' senior obligations and were secured by junior priority liens on substantially the same collateral securing the amended and restated credit agreement (other than any leasehold interests and equity interests of subsidiaries to the extent such pledge of equity interests would require increased financial statement reporting obligations pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X). As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the common stock of our largest operating companies, such as YRC Inc., Holland, New Penn and Reddaway, would be excluded as collateral under these kick-out provisions.

Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes

On July 22, 2011, we issued $100.0 million of our Series B Notes that bear interest at a stated rate of 10.0% per year and mature on March 31, 2015. Interest is payable on a semiannual basis in arrears only in-kind through the issuance of additional Series B Notes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $69.2 million and $91.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding, after giving effect to the payment in-kind of interest on the Series B Notes offset by $50.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes surrendered for conversion through December 31, 2013.

The Series B Notes are convertible into our common stock, at any time at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium). Upon conversion, holders of Series B Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest; however, such holders will receive a make whole premium, equal to the total amount of interest received if the notes were held to their maturity, paid in shares of our common stock for the Series B Notes that were converted. See "Conversions" section below for additional details regarding conversions on our Series B Notes.

As of December 31, 2013, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for Series B Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $16.0056 and 62.4781 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.

The holders of the Series B Notes are entitled to vote with our common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis, provided that, such number of votes shall be limited to 0.0594 votes for each such share of common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis.

As discussed in the “2014 Refinancing” note, we amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes. As of December 31, 2013, the Series B Notes indenture contained customary covenants limiting, among other things, our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to:

pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments;

73

Table of Contents

incur additional indebtedness and issue disqualified stock or subsidiary preferred stock;
create liens on assets;
sell assets;
merge, consolidate, or sell all or substantially all of our or the guarantors' assets;
enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
create restrictions on dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries.

6% Convertible Senior Notes

On February 11, 2010, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain investors pursuant to which such investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase up to $70 million of our notes. The outstanding 6% notes were paid at maturity on February 15, 2014. These 6% Notes bore interest at 6% which was payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. To the extent we were not permitted to pay interest in cash under our senior secured bank credit facilities or we reasonably determine that we had insufficient funds to pay interest in cash, we were permitted to pay interest through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock subject to certain conditions. Our amended and restated credit agreement did not restrict our ability to pay cash interest to holders of the 6% Notes and we paid cash interest to holders of the 6% Notes beginning with the August 15, 2011 interest payment date and continued to make interest payments in cash in lieu of paying interest with shares of common stock as of December 31, 2013.

Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement

- Overview: Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to the A&R CDA with certain multiemployer pension funds named therein (collectively, the “Funds”) pursuant to which we are permitted to continue to defer pension payments and deferred interest owed to such Funds as of July 22, 2011 (each, “Deferred Pension Payments” and “Deferred Interest”). The A&R CDA was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015 though the Company entered into the Second A&R CDA on January 31, 2014 which extended the maturity to December 31, 2019. There is no mandatory amortization prior to that time. The Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest bears interest at a fixed rate, with respect to each Fund, per annum as set forth in its trust documentation as of February 28, 2011.

- Application of Certain Payments: Pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the IBT, the Company's subsidiaries began making contributions to the Funds for the month beginning June 1, 2011 at the rate of 25% of the contribution rate in effect on July 1, 2009. However, legislative changes to current law or other satisfactory action or arrangements are required to enable certain of the Funds (based on their funded status) to accept contributions at a reduced rate.
In accordance with the re-entry arrangements between each Fund and the primary obligors, a Fund may require the primary obligors to make payments of obligations owed to such Fund under the A&R CDA in lieu of payments required pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement with the IBT or make payments into an escrow arrangement, in each case in an amount equal to such Fund's current monthly contribution amount.
- Collateral: Under the A&R CDA, the Funds maintain their first lien on existing first priority collateral. The Funds allowed the secured parties under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes (as each are defined and described above) a second lien behind the secured parties to the credit agreement on certain properties and the Funds had a third lien on such collateral. However, under the Second A&R CDA, such third lien on certain properties was released on the collateral release date upon the occurrence of events specified therein.
- Most Favored Nations: If any of the obligors entered into an amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration of the amended and restated credit agreement after July 22, 2011 that imposed any mandatory prepayment, cash collateralization, additional interest or fee or any other incremental payment to the lenders thereunder not required as of July 22, 2011, the primary obligors were required to pay the Funds 50% of a proportionate additional payment in respect of the Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest, with certain exceptions. The Second A&R CDA removed this requirement.
- Guarantors: The A&R CDA was guaranteed by Glen Moore and Transcontinental Lease, S. de R.L. de C.V. The Second A&R CDA released Glen Moore from such guarantee.
Standby Letter of Credit Agreement

On July 22, 2011, we entered into a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to which Wells Fargo issued one replacement letter of credit and permitted an existing letter of credit to remain outstanding

and we pledged certain deposit accounts and securities accounts (collectively, the “Pledged Accounts”) to Wells Fargo to secure its obligations in respect of the letters of credit. As of December 31, 2013, we had no standby letters of credit under this agreement outstanding.

Conversions

During the year ended December 31, 2013, $29.1 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes converted into 1.9 million shares of our common stock.  Upon conversion, during the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $15.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $6.6 million make whole premium and $8.6 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on Series B Notes converted. As of December 31, 2013, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for Series B

Table of Contents

Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $16.0056 and 62.4781 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $177.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding that was convertible into approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock at the maturity date. As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, on January 31, 2014, we repurchased approximately $90.9 million of our Series A Notes. The Company will redeem the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014. In February 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million with the trustee in order to fund the redemption. There were no conversions of our Series A Notes as of December 31, 2013 and from December 31, 2013 through March 4, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $69.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding that was convertible into approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock (after taking into account the make whole premium). As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our Series B Notes exchanged their outstanding balances as part of an exchange agreement. Outside of these exchange agreements, from December 31, 2013 through March 4, 2014, $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes converted into 75,900 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2013, a maximum of 17,600 shares of our common stock were available for future issuances in respect of the 6% Notes.  As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote we repaid our 6% Notes on February 15, 2014.

10. Liquidity

For a description of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2013, please refer the "Debt and Financing" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Facility Covenants

On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into amendments to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and its then-existing ABL facility (together the "Amendments"), which, among other things, reset future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and resets the minimum cash balance requirement. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2013.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our New Term Loan credit agreement, was a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations.

On February 13, 2014, we completed our 2014 Financing Transactions and refinanced the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total debt divided by consolidated adjusted EBITDA) for future test periods as follows:

In addition, we entered into the New ABL Facility credit agreement which, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base. Upon entering the New ABL Facility on February 13, 2014, based upon the availability calculation, the New ABL Facility did not have any borrowing capacity.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in our new credit agreement, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.

In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable

77

Table of Contents

lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

Risk and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, any prospective cash flow from operations and, as of December 31, 2013, available borrowings under our $400 million Prior ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Prior ABL Facility of $227.8 million and the borrowing base under our Prior ABL Facility was $376.4 million. As part of our 2014 Financing Transactions, we replaced our Prior ABL facility with a $450 million New ABL Facility. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for more details.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and our multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations, including but not limited to paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures and lease payments for operating equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities provided net cash of $12.1 million.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1,363.4 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness. Our 2014 Financing Transactions reduced our outstanding indebtedness and extended the maturities for a substantial portion of our debt to 2019. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for more details.

We also have a considerable amount of future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $79.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. In addition, we also have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, our operating lease obligations for 2014 are $56.1 million.

Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $66.9 million and $66.4 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment totaling $67.1 million, with such payments to be made over the average lease term of 6 years. In light of our operating results over the past few years and our liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and may continue to do so in the future. As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically.

We believe that our results of operations will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet the covenants under our New Term Loan for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenants beyond 2014 is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

we must achieve improvements in our operating results primarily at our YRC Freight operating segment which rely upon pricing and shipping volumes and network efficiencies;
we must continue to implement and realize cost saving measures to match our costs with business levels and in a manner that does not harm operations and our productivity and efficiency initiatives must be successful; and
we must be able to generate operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the cash requirements for pension contributions to our single and multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us.

11. 2011 Financial Restructuring

On July 22, 2011, we completed our financial restructuring that included the following transactions (collectively referred to herein as the “restructuring”):
an exchange offer, whereby we issued to our lenders under our then-existing credit agreement an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of our new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which were converted into 4.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis, and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes in exchange for a $305.0 million reduction of our credit agreement obligations;
the issuance and sale for cash to such lenders of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series B Notes;
the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Prior ABL Facility and an A&R CDA with certain multi-employer pension funds;
the issuance of 1.3 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to the Teamster-National 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of the Company's IBT employees, which were converted into 1.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis;
the issuance of one share of our new Series A Voting Preferred Stock to the IBT to confer certain board representation rights;
the repayment in full and termination of our then-outstanding ABS Facility and collateralizing a portion of our outstanding letters of credit with cash; and
the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee (“TNFINC”) of the IBT waived its right to terminate, and agreed not to further modify, the Agreement for the Restructuring of the YRC Worldwide Inc. Operating Companies, dated as of September 24, 2010 (as amended, the “2010 MOU”) such that the collective bargaining agreement will be fully binding until its specified term of March 31, 2015.

Following the restructuring, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation on September 16, 2011 such that, among other things, all of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued in the restructuring automatically converted into shares of our common stock and effected a one-for 300 reverse stock split on December 1, 2011.

Restructured Credit Agreement Claims

In connection with the restructuring, we exchanged $305.0 million of amounts due under our prior credit agreement for an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock to be $43.2 million. We also converted the remaining prior credit agreement borrowings from the revolving credit facility to the restructured term loan, eliminated the unused revolving credit facility capacity and extended the prior credit agreement maturity date to March 31, 2015 for the $307.4 million aggregate principal amount restructured term loan and the $437.0 million letter of credit facility.

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-60, we accounted for this element of the restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring as the Company had been experiencing financial difficulty and the lenders granted a concession to the Company. We assessed the total future cash flows of the restructured debt as compared to the carrying amount of the original debt and determined the total future cash flows to be greater than the carrying amount at the date of the restructuring. As such, the carrying amount was not adjusted and no gain was recorded, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting.




The prior credit agreement's carryover basis was allocated to the Prior Term Loan and Series A Notes on a relative fair value basis, after taking into account the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion feature in the Series A Notes. The difference in the effective interest rates as compared to the stated interest rates for the restructured term loan and Series A Notes is a function of the underlying fair values of the respective instruments, due to the allocation of carryover basis on a relative fair value basis. Fair values of the respective instruments were based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was based on a contemporaneous valuation, whereas an estimated enterprise value was first calculated using assumptions related to market multiples of earnings, a market approach which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The estimated enterprise value was then reduced by the fair value of our debt instruments post-restructuring, with the residual allocated to our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock. See further discussion regarding our Series B Preferred Stock in our "Shareholders' Deficit" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

The conversion feature embedded in the Series A Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring closing date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $12.4 million.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares increased to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series A Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series A Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $26.5 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $14.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

We allocated $15.6 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring, of which $14.0 million are related to the issuance of the Series A Notes and modifications to the prior credit agreement. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting. The remaining $1.6 million of professional fees are allocated to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and have been recorded as a reduction to 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Prior ABL Facility and Refinancing of ABS Facility

In connection with the restructuring, the Company entered into the Prior ABL Facility, of which the Term A Facility was funded by lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility and the Term B Facility was funded by one of the ABS Facility lenders. This element of the restructuring was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt, for the portion of Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility. For the portion of the Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to the lender that participated in the ABS Facility, this element of the transaction was being accounted for as an exchange of line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements.

As a part of refinancing the ABS Facility, the lenders agreed to forgive accrued interest of $11.3 million and deferred commitment fees of $15.0 million. The forgiveness of the interest and fees along with the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized deferred debt costs associated with the ABS Facility resulted in the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $25.1 million. Such amount has been recognized as '(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

We allocated $5.2 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were recognized as interest expense over the term of the Prior ABL Facility.
 
Restructured Contribution Deferral Agreement

In connection with the restructuring, we entered into the A&R CDA with certain multi-employer pension funds to which we contribute. Such amendment, among other things, revised the final maturity date from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2015 for amounts outstanding at the date of the restructuring, converted accrued interest of $4.5 million at the time of the restructuring to principal, and increased the interest rate for the Central States Pension Fund, which represents 64.3% of the total amount outstanding under the CDA, to 7.5%. The impact of this element of the restructuring on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet was



primarily limited to the reclassification of current obligations to non-current liabilities, due to the change in maturity date for all principal to March 31, 2015.

We allocated $3.8 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Series B Notes

The conversion feature embedded in the Series B Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series B Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $41.7 million.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series B Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series B Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $106.8 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $65.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The $106.8 million fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

We allocated $2.1 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the Series B Notes.

12. Stock Compensation Plans

We have reserved 2.0 million shares for issuance to key management personnel and directors under the 2011 long-term incentive and equity award plan. As of December 31, 2013, 1.1 million shares remain available for issuance under this plan. The plan permits the issuance of restricted stock and share units, as well as options, stock appreciation rights, and performance stock and performance stock unit awards. Awards under the plan can be satisfied in cash or shares at the discretion of the Board of Directors. According to the plan provisions, the share units provide the holders the right to receive one share of our common stock upon vesting of one share unit. The plan requires the exercise price of any option equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Stock Options

On March 1, 2010, we formalized the Second Union Employee Option Plan that provided for a grant of up to 31,000 options, including the effect of the reverse stock split, to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to $3,600.00 per share, of which all have been granted. As a part of the union wage reduction, we agreed to award a certain equity interest to all effected union employees. These options vested immediately, will expire 10 years from the grant date, and were exercisable upon shareholder approval, which was received on June 29, 2010, at our annual shareholder meeting. There has been no activity in these stock options for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $4.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The fair value of nonvested shares is determined based on the closing trading price of our shares on the grant date. The fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was not material.

The outstanding awards under our stock compensation plans provide dividend participation features and are considered participating securities in our earnings per share calculation.

Teamster 401(k) Contribution

On July 22, 2011, the Company delivered into escrow 1.3 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, which were delivered from escrow on July 25, 2011, to the Teamster-National 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of the Company's IBT employees. The $14.9 million fair value of the1.3 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued was based on a contemporaneous valuation, whereas an estimated enterprise value was first calculated using assumptions related to market multiples of earnings, a market approach which is a level 3 fair value measurement. The estimated enterprise value was then reduced by the fair value of our debt instruments subsequent to our 2011 restructuring, with the residual allocated to our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock. On September 16, 2011, following approval from the shareholders of the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation the number of common shares increased and these preferred shares were automatically converted into 1.6 million shares of common stock.

This element of the restructuring was accounted for as the grant of a share-based payment award to employees and the $14.9 million charge for the share-based payments has been included in 2011 “Equity based compensation expense” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

13. Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to reflect income taxes on our financial statements, pursuant to ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities by applying enacted tax rates to the differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and to loss carryforwards. Tax credit carryforwards are recorded as deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. We assess the validity of deferred tax assets and loss and tax credit carryforwards and provide valuation allowances when we determine it is more likely than not that such assets, losses, or credits will not be realized. We have not recognized deferred taxes relative to foreign subsidiaries' earnings that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. Any related taxes associated with such earnings are not material.

The net deferred tax liability of $2.1 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is included as separate line items in the accompanying balance sheets. Current income tax receivable was $20.1 million and $27.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in “Prepaid expenses and other” in the accompanying balance sheets.

The Company has carried back the 2013 federal taxable loss to the extent allowed and claimed and received refunds of $14.4 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has remaining federal Net Operating Loss carryforwards of approximately $689.1 million, of which, an estimated $298.6 million will not be utilized due to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code regarding the use of tax attributes following deemed ownership changes that occurred in July, 2011 and in July, 2013. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, another such ownership change occurred in January, 2014, in conjunction with the 2014 Financing Transactions described in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote. The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s

ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards has not yet been determined, but it is not expected to be material. These carryforwards expire between 2028 and 2033 if not used. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has foreign tax credit and other credit carryforwards of approximately $16.9 million, none of which will likely be utilized due to the Internal Revenue Code limitations described above, and which will expire between 2014 and 2018 if not used.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, a valuation allowance of $454.1 million and $448.4 million has been established for deferred tax assets because, based on available sources of future taxable income, it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are $24.8 million and $25.8 million of benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We accrued interest of $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and reversed $2.6 million and $5.6 million of previously accrued interest on uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for a net reduction of $1.2 million and $3.4 million for 2013 and 2012. The reversal related primarily to settlements and other favorable resolution of prior uncertain positions. The total amount of interest accrued for uncertain tax positions is $14.5 million and $15.7 million as of as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid tax of $1.2 million and interest of $0.8 million to settle certain state and foreign audits of tax years 2001-08 for certain of our subsidiaries and we reduced our previously recorded tax contingency accordingly. We have not accrued any penalties relative to uncertain tax positions. We have elected to treat interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively.
 
It is reasonably possible that the existing unrecognized tax benefits may decrease over the next twelve months by as much as $21.2 million as a result of developments in examinations and/or litigation, or from the expiration of statutes of limitation.

14. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on operating income and return on invested capital.

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. YRC Freight includes carriers that provide comprehensive national, regional and international services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the next-day and regional delivery markets. Truckload consists of Glen Moore, a former domestic truckload carrier. On December 15, 2011, we sold a majority of the assets of Glen Moore to a third party for $18.5 million and ceased the operations. We recognized a $4.6 million loss on the sale of these assets which is included in the Truckload segment for 2011.

Effective April 1, 2010 until its deconsolidation in the first quarter of 2012, the results of Jiayu are reflected in our consolidated results as part of the Corporate Segment.


85

Table of Contents

We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based upon usage or on an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and deferred debt issuance costs as well as our investment in JHJ. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services between our segments.

Revenue from foreign sources totaled $139.5 million, $158.3 million, and $186.8 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is largely derived from Canada and Mexico. Long-lived assets located in foreign countries totaled $12.4 million, $14.7 million and $15.5 million at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

15. Shareholders’ Deficit

The Company designated one of the authorized shares of preferred stock as its Series A Voting Preferred Stock. The Series A Voting Preferred Stock has a $1 liquidation value and entitles the holder to elect two directors to the Company's Board of Directors. The one share of Series A Voting Preferred Stock was issued to the IBT on July 22, 2011 in connection with the restructuring. The Series A Voting Preferred Stock was recorded at its liquidation value.

86

Table of Contents


The Company designated 4,999,999 of the authorized shares of preferred stock as its Series B Preferred Stock. As part of the 2011 restructuring, we issued an aggregate of 4,999,999 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to satisfy a portion of the outstanding credit agreement claims (3,717,948 shares) and to satisfy our obligation to the IBT for their modifications of the MOU in both 2009 and 2010 (1,282,051 shares). On September 16, 2011, these preferred shares were immediately convertible into our common stock upon effectiveness of the Charter Agreement Merger and increase in authorized common shares. At the date of issuance, the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock and as such, the Company considered the guidance under ASC Topic 815-40 and determined that conversion was not within the Company's control for the Series B Preferred Stock and therefore classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity for the period July 22, 2011 through September 16, 2011, at which such time the Series B Preferred Stock converted into common shares.

The Series B Preferred Stock contained a beneficial conversion feature that was in-the-money on July 22, 2011. The $58.0 million fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was allocated to this beneficial conversion feature at July 22, 2011, resulting in a discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock of $58.0 million, with the offset recorded to 'Capital surplus'. Upon effectiveness of the Charter Agreement Merger and increase in authorized common shares on September 16, 2011, the $58.0 million discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock was amortized into 'Accumulated deficit'.

The amortization of the discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock increased the net loss attributable to common shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share.

On September 16, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's capital stock from 85.0 million shares to 10.005 billion shares of which 5.0 million shares are preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 10.0 billion shares are common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On September 16, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with which the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated.

On September 16, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock following the effectiveness of the authorized share increase described above, at a ratio to be determined by the Company's board of directors and within a range of one-for-50 to one-for-300; and reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock by the reverse split ratio.

The board of directors approved the reverse stock split effective December 1, 2011 at a ratio of 1:300. The reverse stock split was effective on NASDAQ on December 2, 2011. Fractional shares were not issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Fractional shares were collected and pooled by our transfer agent and sold in the open market and the proceeds were allocated to the stockholders' respective accounts pro rata in lieu of fractional shares.

As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, we issued a significant number of common and preferred shares subsequent to December 31, 2013. Please refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for additional details.

16. Loss Per Share

We present both basic and diluted EPS amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. We calculate earnings per share using the two class method where unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Participating securities do not participate in losses and therefore are excluded from the calculation of loss per share.

In periods with net income, diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year which is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and restricted stock units, the if-converted method for convertible notes, and assumes conversion of our convertible senior notes based on the related fiscal year financial data. In periods with net loss, diluted EPS uses the same shares as basic EPS with no consideration of the if-converted method on the numerator.

Given our net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, there are no dilutive securities for these periods. Antidilutive options and share units were 691,000, 771,700 and 302,700 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Antidilutive 6% convertible senior note conversion shares, including the make whole premium, were convertible into 17,600 common shares at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Antidilutive Series A convertible note conversion shares were 5,226,000, 4,740,000 and 4,300,000 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Antidilutive Series B convertible note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, were 4,219,000, 6,149,000 and 7,261,000 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Uncertainties

Financial Matters

We incur rental expenses under noncancelable lease agreements for certain buildings and operating equipment. Rental expense is charged to “Operating expense and supplies” or “Purchased transportation” on the accompanying statements of operations. Rental expense was $76.0 million, $78.0 million, and $79.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, we were committed under noncancelable lease agreements requiring minimum annual rentals payable as follows:

We expect in the ordinary course of business that leases will be renewed or replaced as they expire. The leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals and contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index not to exceed certain specified amounts. We record rent expense for our operating leases on a straight-line basis over the base term of the lease agreements.

As of December 31, 2013, we have $2.3 million committed for capital expenditures to be completed during 2014.

ABF Lawsuit

On November 1, 2010, ABF Freight System, Inc. (“ABF”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against several parties, including our subsidiaries YRC Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and USF Holland Inc. and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the local Teamster unions party to the National Master Freight Agreement (“NMFA”) alleging violation of the NMFA due to modifications to the NMFA that provided relief to our subsidiaries without providing the same relief to ABF. The complaint sought to have the modifications to the NMFA declared null and void and damages of $750.0 million from the named defendants. We believe the allegations are without merit.

On December 17, 2010, the District Court dismissed the complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal on January 18, 2011 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. On July 6, 2011, the Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's dismissal of the litigation on jurisdictional grounds and remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. ABF filed an amended complaint on October 12, 2011, containing allegations consistent with the original complaint. Our subsidiaries filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal to the Court of Appeals, and, on August 30, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision. ABF did not file a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which was due on or before November 29, 2013. Thus, the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of this matter is final.

Bryant Holdings Securities Litigation

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC ("Bryant") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.

The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors were named in the lawsuit. The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement will be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued as of December 31, 2013.

The settlement agreement requires court approval.  On August 19, 2013, the Court entered an Order denying plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Settlement.  Plaintiffs filed an Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval and, on November 18, 2013, the Court denied that Motion.  Each denial was based primarily on deficiencies that the Court perceived in the plan that plaintiffs proposed for allocation of the settlement proceeds among class members.  Plaintiffs have revised the plan of allocation and, on February 18, 2014, filed a Second Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. We insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

18. Related Party Transactions

On February 20, 2013, we entered into an Advisory Agreement with MAEVA Group, LLC ("MAEVA"), a company owned and controlled by Harry J. Wilson and of which Mr. Wilson is Chairman and CEO. Mr. Wilson served as a Series A Director of the Company appointed by the IBT and was not an independent director of the Company. The Advisory Agreement called for MAEVA to provide advisory, analytical, consulting and other services to us in connection with one or more potential transactions and/or other strategic initiatives. As compensation for its services, MAEVA was entitled to receive a $250,000 per month retainer fee for at least four months plus potential completion fees of $5.5 million.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we paid MAEVA $3.0 million in monthly retainer fees in 2013, and we paid a $5.5 million completion fee in January 2014 in connection with the completion of the 2014 Financing Transactions. Additionally in February 2014, we paid MAEVA an incremental fee of $3.5 million in recognition of its critical role and performance in designing and leading a series of highly complicated, challenging and interdependent transactions that were critical to the Company's refinancing that led to a capital structure with maturities extended until 2019. Although the Advisory Agreement originally was set to expire on December 31, 2013, management and the Board requested that MAEVA continue to advise the Company and the Board on the various transactions, so we continued to pay the monthly retainer for two additional months while the Financing Transactions remained outstanding. The Advisory Agreement and the fees paid to MAEVA in connection with the 2014 Financing Transactions were approved by the independent members of the board.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
YRC Worldwide Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YRC Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of YRC Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), YRC Worldwide Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 10, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of YRC Worldwide Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
YRC Worldwide Inc.:

We have audited YRC Worldwide Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). YRC Worldwide Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A of the December 31, 2013 annual report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on YRC Worldwide Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, YRC Worldwide Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of YRC Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated March 10, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

(d)    In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes and not incurred in reliance on Section 7.03(t)), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Total Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period of the Total Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Interest on a Capitalized Lease shall be deemed



to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease in accordance with GAAP.

Furthermore, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including negative covenants, financials covenants and component definitions, operating leases and Capitalized Leases will be deemed to be treated in a manner consistent with their current treatment under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1.11.

(b)    For purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Guarantee by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Excluded Swap Obligation and no Collateral provided by any Loan Party shall secure any Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made by, or any collection is realized from, any Loan Party for which there are Excluded Swap Obligations, or from any Collateral provided by such Loan Party, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Loan Party on a ratable basis determined without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide.
(b)    Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under Article 11 and the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (subject to the limitations provided in Section 11.09). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor



under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until its Guaranty under Section 11 is released. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 1.14 constitute, and this Section 1.14 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(b)    Subject to Sections 2.08 and 3.02 each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time plus up to an additional 3 Interest Periods in respect of each (i) Incremental Facility, (ii) Extended Term Loans and (iii) Other Term Loans, provided that the total number of such additional Interest Periods does not exceed 15 at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c)    Each Lender shall make each Initial Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Request for Credit Extension.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to



repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 2.03.    Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of the initial extension of credit on the Closing Date, prior to the proposed Borrowing), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Request for Credit Extension shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Request for Credit Extension and shall specify the following information: (i) the Class of Loans to be borrowed and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Request for Credit Extension, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04.    Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 (or, in the case of Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as provided for in the applicable Extension Offer, Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or other governing documentation).



(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the accounts set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the amounts set forth in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) shall prevail.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in accordance with Section 10.04. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a Term Note, the interests represented by such Term Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns, unless such Term Note is duly cancelled.
(f)    This Section 2.04 shall at all times be interpreted and administered in such a way at the Term Notes will be issued in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.163-1(a).
Section 2.05.    Fees.
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative agent fees applicable to the Facilities payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Fees”).
(b)    All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.



Section 2.06.    Interest on Loans.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.07.    Default Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times, after as well as before judgment, equal to (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum, and such interest shall be payable on written demand.
Section 2.08.    Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have revoked such notice, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.09.    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(f)    The Term Loan Commitment for the Initial Term Loan in effect on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date.



(g)    Upon at least one Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, any Class of unfunded Term Loan Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of any Class of Term Loan Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided further that , a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
(h)    Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.
Section 2.10.    Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of any conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
(i)    until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), no ABR Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month;
(ii)    each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;
(iii)    if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
(b)    each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;



(i)    if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.04;
(c)    any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, unless agreed by all applicable Lenders;
(d)    any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and
(e)    upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (g) or (h), no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.
Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall (except as set forth herein) be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.
Section 2.11.    Repayment of Term Borrowings.
(a)    The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of March 2014, an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or, if applicable, Section 10.04(k)(vii) and as a result of the conversion of Initial Term Loans to Extended Term Loans or the refinancing of Initial Term Loans with Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) and (ii) on the applicable Maturity Date for such Initial Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of such Initial



Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. Upon the conversion of Initial Term Loans to Extended Term Loans or the refinancing of Initial Term Loans with Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, all amortization payments shall be reduced ratably by the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so converted, refinanced or replaced. The Borrower shall repay Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Other Term Loans in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Offer, Refinancing Amendment or other governing documentation.
(b)    To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans (including, for avoidance of doubt, Term Loans that are not Initial Term Loans) shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.
(c)    All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 3.04, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
Section 2.12.    Voluntary Prepayment.
(c)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,500,000.
(d)    Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Extension Offer, any Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment, voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 (i) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding and (ii) with respect to each Class of Term Loans, shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof (in the case of the Initial Term Loans, as set forth in Section 2.11) as directed by the Borrower (or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity).
(e)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not



satisfied (provided, that the provisions of Section 3.04 shall apply to any prepayment that is not made as a result of the failure of such condition). All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable) and Section 3.04 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.
(f)    In the event that (other than in connection with a refinancing of the entirety of the Credit Facilities in connection with a Change of Control, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, or an acquisition or another transaction not otherwise permitted hereunder), on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) the Borrower voluntarily prepays any Initial Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Initial Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loan Indebtedness (including any new or additional Term Loans under this Agreement and Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) incurred for the primary purpose of prepaying, repaying or replacing the Initial Term Loans and having or resulting in an effective yield (in each case, with original issue discount and upfront fees, which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of original issue discount, being equated to interest margins in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practice) payable generally to the lenders of such Indebtedness (but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication, commitment or other fees in connection therewith that are not shared with all providers of such Indebtedness), is, or upon satisfaction of the specified conditions could be, lower than the effective yield in respect of the Refinanced Debt (as determined on the same basis), (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification shall become effective with respect to any Initial Term Loans the primary purpose of which is to reduce the effective yield (determined on the basis set forth in clause (i)) with respect to such Initial Term Loans or (iii) a Term Lender is deemed a Non-Consenting Lender and must assign its Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.06(a) in connection with any waiver, amendment or modification the primary purpose of which is to reduce the effective yield (determined on the basis set forth in clause (i)) with respect to such Initial Term Loans (each of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) a “Repricing Event”), then in each case, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Repricing Event, for the ratable account of each applicable Term Loan Lender, (a) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), (x) if such Repricing Event occurs prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, a prepayment premium of 2% of the amount of the Term Loans being prepaid or assigned and (y) if such Repricing Event occurs on or after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, a prepayment premium of 1% of the amount of the Term Loans being prepaid or assigned and (b) in the case of clause (ii), (x) if such Repricing Event occurs prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, a payment equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such waiver, amendment or modification and (y) if such Repricing Event occurs on or after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such waiver, amendment or modification.



Section 2.13.    Mandatory Prepayments.
(d)    (i) Within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (x) 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) the date on which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ended December 31, 2014) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Excess Cash Flow Period covered or required to have been covered by such financial statements minus (B) the sum of (1) all voluntary prepayments of principal of Term Loans that are Initial Term Loans or are pari passu with the Initial Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness during such Excess Cash Flow Period and (2) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the ABL Facility during such fiscal year to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments under the ABL Facility and, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2), to the extent such prepayments are funded with Internally Generated Cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any such prepayments described in this Section 2.13(a)(i) (and no Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of such nonpayment) to the extent such payment would constitute a violation or breach of the ABL Credit Agreement in respect of minimum liquidity requirements (as in effect on the date hereof in respect of such restriction, or as otherwise modified, supplemented or amended in a manner not adverse to the Lenders).
(i)    If (1) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets pursuant to Section 7.05 (j), (l), (t) or under any transaction that would be prohibited by Section 7.05(other than so long as the ABL Credit Agreement is in effect, any Disposition of ABL Priority Collateral), or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds realized or received; provided, that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase Permitted First Priority Additional Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted First Priority Additional Debt (or Permitted Refinancing thereof) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to



the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased (after giving effect to any requirement under the documentation for such Other Applicable Indebtedness to offer such declined payments to other holders of such Other Applicable Indebtedness prior to making such proceeds available to the Borrower), the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii)    If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.03 (other than any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, within the Business Day of the date of) the receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds.
(e)    Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Extension Offer, any Refinancing Amendment, any Permitted Repricing Amendment, any Incremental Amendment, or any other governing documentation, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding; provided, that any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to the parenthetical in Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt.
(f)    With respect to each Class of Term Loans, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled repayments of such Term Loans (in the case of the Initial Term Loans, required pursuant to Section 2.11(a)); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to Section 2.13(d). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13(c) is applicable to any prepayment made with the Net Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.
(g)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to



be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made with proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to an extension of time for such failure to be corrected. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower.
(h)    Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 3.04. All prepayments under Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable). Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.13(a), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans is required to be made under Section 2.13(a) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder (including accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period) into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.13. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(a).
(i)    Foreign Dispositions; Foreign Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.13, (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (y) restricted by applicable organizational or constitutive documents or any agreement, from being repatriated to the United States, in each case the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.13 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive document impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the



respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive document impediment, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than 5 Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes, costs and expenses payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow could cause adverse tax consequences to the Borrower, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
Section 2.14.    Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 3.02, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); provided that the provisions of this Section 2.14 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. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.
Section 2.15.    Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or



adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall apply (provided, that if the applicable payment, assignment, sale or participation to the Borrower is expressly permitted under Section 10.04, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, neither this Section nor Section 2.14 shall not limit the ability of the Borrower to (i) purchase and retire Term Loans pursuant to an open market purchase or a  Dutch Auction or (ii) pay principal, fees, premiums and interest with respect to Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans following the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, any Extension Offer or Incremental Amendment, as applicable, on a basis different from the Loans of such Class that will continue to be held by Lenders that were not Extending Lenders or Lenders pursuant to such Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.
Section 2.16.    Payments.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts due and payable) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010 or such other office notified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.01. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.
(b)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
Section 2.17.    Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a)    The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall



promptly make a copy of such notice available to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches or additions to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) in an amount (when taken together with any Alternative Incremental Indebtedness issued or incurred prior to, or that will be issued or incurred concurrently with, the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans) not to exceed $250,000,000, so long as the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio calculated on a Pro Forma Basis shall not be greater than 3.25 to 1.0 (calculated as if such Incremental Term Loans had been outstanding on such last day and as though any unsecured Alternative Incremental Indebtedness were secured Alternative Incremental Indebtedness), plus (z) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) (the “Maximum Incremental Facility Amount”), provided that the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the Maximum Incremental Facility Amount has not been exceeded, together with reasonably detailed calculations with respect thereto (which calculations shall, if made as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which the Borrower has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and Compliance Certificate required to be delivered by Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) and Section 6.02(a), respectively, be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant period). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the Maximum Incremental Facility Amount).
(b)    The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment: (i) such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with all other Term Loans; (ii) the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Original Term Loan Maturity Date; (iii) the amortization requirements for such Incremental Term Loans may differ from that of other outstanding Initial Term Loans, provided the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then outstanding Initial Term Loans; (iv) such Incremental Term Loans, to the extent secured, shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or the Guarantors that does not also secure the then outstanding applicable Term Loans; (v) any Incremental Term Loans may rank junior in right of security with the other Term Loans or be unsecured, and if such Incremental Term Loans rank junior in right of security or are unsecured, the Incremental Facility pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loans are extended shall be established as a separate Facility from the then existing Term Loan Facility; (vi) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Incremental Term Loans, if not consistent with the terms of the Initial Term Loans, shall be on customary market terms for Indebtedness of such type (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) (provided, that the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans shall be amended to provide the Lenders the benefit of any financial maintenance covenant of such Incremental Term Loans that is in addition to or more restrictive in any material manner than the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans) and (vii) the applicable yield relating to



any term loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Amendment (each facility thereunder, the “Incremental Facility”), shall not exceed the applicable yield with respect to the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum unless the yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans is increased so that the yield applicable to the applicable Incremental Facility does not exceed the yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum; provided that in determining the yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans and the applicable Incremental Facility, (A) all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such loans and (2) four years) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Initial Term Loans or the applicable Incremental Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included, (B) if the Incremental Facility includes an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the Initial Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the Initial Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors and (C) structuring, arrangement or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded.
(c)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall set forth (i) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and (ii) the date on which the relevant increase is requested to become effective (the “Increase Amount Date”). Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have any obligation to make any Incremental Term Loan except to the extent that it has agreed to do so pursuant to an Incremental Amendment) or by any other Additional Lender (the Lenders or Additional Lenders making such Incremental Term Loans, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”). Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Terms Loans; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement in any material respect (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (and for purposes thereof the making of the Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be a Request for Credit Extension) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and a solvency certificate or representation, in each case consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law,



change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans, if the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans are to be used, in whole or in part, by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, then (A) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Increase Amount Date shall be (x) the Specified Representations (conformed as necessary for such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment) and (y) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or any Affiliate of the Borrower) has the right to terminate the obligations of the Borrower or such Affiliate under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement and (B) no Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g) would exist after giving effect to such incurrence (“Permitted Acquisition Provisions”). The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.
(d)    Any Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the terms thereof, to the extent such terms are permitted under this Section 2.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.17 and, if either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Incremental Amendment and as required by applicable Law to protect the Collateral Agent’s perfected security interest thereon (as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent), the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Incremental Amendment (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).
(e)    This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.



Section 2.18.    Refinancing Amendments.
(a)    At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Additional Debt) in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (A) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have such pricing, fees, interest, premiums and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof (provided, that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment), (C) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have a maturity date later than the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Refinanced Debt, (D) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, if not consistent with the terms of the Initial Term Loans, shall be on customary market terms for Indebtedness of such type (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) ((provided, that the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans shall be amended to provide the Lenders the benefit of any financial maintenance covenant of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that is in addition to or more restrictive in any material manner than the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans)) and (E) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (and for purposes thereof the incurrence of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a Request for Credit Extension) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and a solvency certification or representation, in each case consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $40,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred



pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).
(c)    This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.
Section 2.19.    Extensions of Term Loans.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of a Class of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans of such Class with the same Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of any Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans of such Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans as so extended, as well as the group of original Term Loans not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and a separate Class of Term Loans), so long as the following terms are satisfied (or waived): (i) no Event of Default shall exist at the time the notice in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, and no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Extended Term Loans, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, AHYDO “catch up” payments, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the lenders or investors providing such Extended Term Loans as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer and any Incremental Term Loans, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) for periods prior to the then applicable Latest Maturity Date may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall



be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Term Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Term Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.
(b)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.12 , 2.13 or 2.15 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19.
(c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to give effect to each Extension (an “Extension Amendment”), without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.11 with respect to any Class of Term Loans subject to an Extension to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the



benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment and (B) consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment). Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Extension (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).
(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.
(e)    This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.
ARTICLE 3    
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01.    Taxes.
(e)    Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document to any Lender or Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, withholdings (including backup withholding), fees or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority including interest, penalties and additions to tax (collectively “Taxes”), excluding (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, however denominated, and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income Taxes, (ii) Taxes attributable to the failure by the relevant Lender or Agent to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 3.01, (iii) Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between such Lender or Agent and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being a party to, engaging in any transactions pursuant to, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document, (iv) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Guarantor (as appropriate) is located, (v) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on amounts payable hereunder pursuant to a law in effect at such time the Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 3.06), or designates a new lending office, except in each case to the extent such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.01 and



(vi) any tax to the extent imposed as a result of a Lender or Agent’s (A) failure to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA in such a way to reduce such tax to zero or (B) election under Section 1471(b)(3) of the Code (all such non-excluded Taxes imposed on such payments, being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.
(f)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, or charges or levies of the same character, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Acceptance, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) except for Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(g)    The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or Lender and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides Borrower or Guarantor with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.
(h)    Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to



any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable Law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Lender or Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are exempt from any United States federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing:
(i)    Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is exempt from federal backup withholding.
(ii)    Each Lender and Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,
(B)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms) and, in the case of an Agent, a withholding certificate that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.1441-1(e)(3)(v) as applicable to a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for withholding tax purposes,
(C)    in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit



G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(D)    to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner). Each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each Lender and Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its lending office (or take any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable, good faith determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
(j)    If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable, good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to the Borrower or Guarantor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Borrower and Guarantors, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.



(k)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 3.02.    Illegality. If any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall promptly following written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.04. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 3.03.    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.
(g)    If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans, or a material reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.03(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exception (iii) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or measured by net income or profits or are franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the foregoing taxes) and any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) thereof or (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.03(c) or reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligations to make any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given



in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(h)    If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or controlling entity for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.
(i)    Except to the extent already reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
(j)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
(k)    If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such



Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.03(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a), (b), (c) or (d).
Section 3.04.    Funding Losses. Promptly following written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:
(i)    any continuation or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, or any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(ii)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
including an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (1) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such event for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (2) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such event for such period, but excluding (a) loss of anticipated profits, and (b) any loss, cost or expense resulting from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under Section 3.01.
Section 3.05.    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.
(d)    Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable and customary averaging and attribution methods.
(e)    With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.03, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any applicable



Eurodollar Loan, or, if applicable, to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.05(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(f)    If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.05(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans (or, if such conversion is not possible, repaid) on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans (if possible), and all ABR Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.
(g)    If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.05 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.
(h)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted or made after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.
Section 3.06.    Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.



(a)    If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.03 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make any Eurodollar Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (x) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (unless otherwise agreed, with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) (it being understood that any such assignment shall become effective only in accordance with Section 10.04(e)), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii)) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents; or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that in the case of any such termination of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall be in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii);
(b)    In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, each directly and adversely affected Lender, each Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans or each directly and adversely affected Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans, in each case in accordance with Section 10.08, and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders of a certain Class, the Required Class Lenders) have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”
(c)    Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.06(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the



case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Term Note executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with Article 9.
Section 3.07.    Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE 4

ARTICLE 9    
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article 9, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, including any amendment or supplement expressly contemplated thereby and (y) upon the incurrence of any Permitted Secured Additional Debt, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, respectively) and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.
The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into



(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties (other than Disqualified Lenders). The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties (other than Disqualified Lenders) of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent.

(r)    if to a Lender, to it at its address (or fax number) set forth on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Acceptance, Incremental Amendment, or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto.
All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date three Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 10.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 10.01. As agreed to among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.
The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to



furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 6, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Request for Credit Extension or a notice pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, or (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees(w) to use commercially reasonable effort to make all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders clearly and conspicuously “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) financial statements and related documentation, in each case, provided pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) and (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may



contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION (I) TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S OR ITS RELATED PARTIES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH OR (II) FOR ITS (OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES’) MATERIAL BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
Section 10.02.    Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf or that any



Agent or Lender may have had notice of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.
Section 10.03.    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, each other Loan Party party hereto on the Closing Date and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Section 10.04.    Successors and Assigns.
(i)    Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(j)    Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) if the approval of the Borrower is required for any such assignment pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, then the Borrower must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after the Borrower having received written notice thereof, (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees; provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to



the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (x) simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall require the payment of a single processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (y) such processing and recordation fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04 and 10.05). Upon request and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note (if any), the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender.
(k)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and



information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(l)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and the interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon reasonable request by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender a schedule of Disqualified Lenders, to the extent the Borrower has provided such a schedule to the Administrative Agent.
(m)    Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower, to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
(n)    Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than Disqualified Lenders) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,



(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and only if such participant has complied with the requirements of such provisions as if it were a Lender) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of (or consent under) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (provided that the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender has sold a participation may provide that such Lender shall not agree to the following amendments without the consent of such participating bank or Person hereunder: amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank has an interest; extending any scheduled principal payment date or scheduled date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest; increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or Person has an interest; releasing all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of any such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 7.05) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral or reductions in the voting thresholds; or modifying the pro rata requirements of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, in each case, which directly and adversely affects such participants; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required in respect of any amendment, modification or waiver of (i) the payment of default interest, (ii) the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default, or (iii) the mandatory prepayment requirements of Section 2.13). To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other Person also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such participating bank or other Person agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. 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 interest thereon) 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 the Borrower, the Lenders and each Agent 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 notice to the contrary.
(o)    Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;



provided that (except during the initial syndication by the Arranger when customary confidentiality arrangements shall apply), prior to any such disclosure of Information, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive in any material respect than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16 for the benefit of (and enforceable by) the Borrower.
(p)    Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(q)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.



(r)    The Borrower (except as expressly permitted by clause (ii) of Section 7.04(d)) shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
(s)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:
(i)    such assignment shall be made pursuant to (A) an open-market transaction on a non-pro rata basis or (B) a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures (it being agreed that none of the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall have any obligation to make any representation as to the absence of MNPI in connection therewith and such assignment shall be made pursuant to the form of Assignment and Acceptance, which shall contain customary “big boy” assurance by the assignor Lender to the effect that it is a sophisticated investor and is willing to proceed with the assignment);
(ii)    the Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;
(iii)    [reserved];
(iv)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by the Borrower may not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans as of the Closing Date plus the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Debt incurred after the Closing Date;
(v)    any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower;
(vi)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and
(vii)    the cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.12 or 2.13, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in clause (v) above shall be applied in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable Class of Term Loans.



Section 10.05.    Expenses; Indemnity.
(m)    The Borrower agrees promptly following (and in any event within 30 days of) written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor (i) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including all Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each group and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel of each type to similarly situated parties)) and (ii) from and after the Closing Date, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arranger and each Lender promptly following written demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all respective Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, Arranger and the Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable material jurisdiction for each group and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel of each type to similarly situated parties)). To the extent otherwise reimbursable by the foregoing sentence of this section, the foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by any Agent.
(n)    Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (or the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members of each of the foregoing) (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual losses, damages, claims, liabilities and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one outside counsel for all Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each type of similarly situated affected Indemnitees)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or



instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property, vehicle or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or equityholders in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of an Indemnitee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) any dispute solely among the Indemnitees other than (1) any claim against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Arranger or similar role and (2) any claim arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (z) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents (or any related party), as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnitee or any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such damages resulted from the (A) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the material breach by any Indemnitee of its or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of a claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, any Loan Party’s directors, stockholders or creditors or other Affiliates or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes that are the subject of, or excluded from, Section 3.01. To the extent that any Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent



such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
(o)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under clause (b) above.
(p)    The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such request).
Section 10.06.    Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Agents, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time (with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent), without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than payroll accounts, trust accounts, escrow accounts, employee benefits accounts or petty cash accounts) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all matured Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give



such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and such Lender may have at Law.
Section 10.07.    Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 10.08.    Waivers; Amendment.
(c)    No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(d)    Except as provided in Section 2.17 with respect to any Incremental Facility Amendment, in Section 2.18, with respect to any Refinancing Amendment, in Section 2.19 with respect to an Extension Offer or as otherwise provided herein or in a Loan Document, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders (provided, that amendments to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall require the agreement of the Loan Parties (or any of them) only to the extent required pursuant to the terms thereof); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any fee or any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof (other than with respect to any default interest), or decrease the amount of any fee or the rate of interest on any Loan (other than with respect to any default interest), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (x) the waiver of



(or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest, (y) any change to the definition of “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio” or “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in any rate of interest pursuant to this clause (i), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, the provisions of Section 10.04(j) or the provisions of this Section or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantors in a transaction permitted by Sections 7.04 or 7.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as permitted hereby), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (or, in the case of Section 10.04(j), each Lender), (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms materially and adversely affects the rights of Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of the Required Class Lenders with respect to each materially and adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(i) without the written consent of such SPV (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders (if such consent is otherwise required), additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments on the Closing Date) or (vii) modify the definition of “Required Class Lenders” without the consent of the Required Class Lenders with respect to each Class of Loans or Commitments; provided further that (w) no Lender consent is required to effect a Refinancing Amendment or an Incremental Amendment or an Extension (except as expressly provided in Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, as applicable) or to effect any amendment expressly contemplated by Section 7.12, (x) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a re-pricing transaction in which any tranche of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement tranche of term loans bearing (or is modified in a manner such that the resulting term loans bear) a lower effective yield (a “Permitted Repricing Amendment”), only the consent of each Lender holding Term Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or modified Term Loans shall be required for such Permitted Repricing Amendment, (y) modifications to Section 2.14, 2.15 or any other provision requiring pro rata payments or sharing of payments in connection with (I) any buy back of Term Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.04(k) or pursuant to any similar program that may in the future be permitted hereunder, (II) any Incremental Amendment or (III) any Extension, shall only require approval (to the extent any such approval is otherwise required) of the Lenders participating and (z) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (I) that the



Administrative Agent is otherwise authorized to enter into without the consent of any Lender by Section 10.23, (II) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Secured Additional Debt, (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (III) that is expressly contemplated by Section 5.2(c) or the second paragraph of Section 7.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to correct or cure (x) ambiguities, errors, omissions, defects, (y) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (z) incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document. Guarantees, collateral documents, security documents, intercreditor agreements,  and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and may be amended, modified, terminated or waived, and consent to any departure therefrom may be given, without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, waiver or consent is given in order to (x) comply with local law or advice of counsel or (y) cause such guarantee, collateral document, security document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.05, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 2.19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.
Section 10.09.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be



limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 10.10.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.11.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.
Section 10.12.    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by



facsimile or other electronic imaging transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.14.    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 10.15.    Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.16.    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors involved in the Transaction on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (and in such case, such Person shall promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure), (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder,



(e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (g) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Facility or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility, or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 or other confidentiality obligation owed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Article, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower not in violation of any confidentiality obligation owed to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.
Section 10.17.    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall be given at the direction of the Required Lender).
Section 10.18.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
Section 10.19.    Collateral And Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:
(a)    that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of all Commitments hereunder and payment in full of all Obligations



(other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and (y) contingent obligations not yet accrued or payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Person required to grant a Lien to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (or, if such transferee is a Person required to grant a Lien to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on such asset, at the option of the applicable Loan Party, such Lien on such asset may still be released in connection with the transfer so long as (x) the transferee grants a new Lien to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on such asset substantially concurrently with the transfer of such asset, (y) the transfer is between parties organized under the laws of different jurisdictions and at least one of such parties is a Foreign Subsidiary and (z) the priority of the new Lien is the same as that of the original Lien), (iii) subject to Section 10.08, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to Section 11.10, (v) any such property constitutes Excluded Property or (vi) in accordance with any Intercreditor Agreement;
(b)    to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(b), 7.01(g), 7.01(q) or 7.01(s) (in the case of Section 7.01(s), to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens); and
(c)    that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty as provided in Section 11.10.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.19. In each case as specified in this Section 10.19, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.19.
Section 10.20.    Secured Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.04, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any



other provision of Article 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank and the Borrower.
Section 10.21.    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the fullest extent possible under provisions of applicable Law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.
Section 10.22.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
(a)    In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) the Agents, the Arranger, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Arranger or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship, and (iii) the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.



(b)    Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arranger and any of their respective affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, Arranger, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender, the Arranger and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any of its Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement, the Facilities, the commitment letter or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, Arranger, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.
Section 10.23.    Intercreditor Agreements.
(a)    The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (including the ABL Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any Permitted Refinancing of ABL Facility Indebtedness), and each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has received a copy of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and that the ABL Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon it. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any amendments or supplements expressly contemplated thereby, and to subject the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the ABL Secured Parties to extend credit to the borrowers under the ABL Credit Agreement and such ABL Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
(b)    The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into each of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and each of the parties hereto acknowledges that each such agreement shall be binding upon it.

The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the parties providing any Permitted



Secured Additional Debt to extend credit to the borrowers thereof and such parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be.
(c)    The extent of any conflict between the Loan Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Section 10.23, on the other hand, such intercreditor agreement shall control.
ARTICLE 11    
GUARANTEE
Section 11.01.    The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective permitted successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws, whether or not such items are allowed or allowable as a claim in any applicable proceeding) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Term Notes (if any) issued hereunder and held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations (excluding, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Section 11.02.    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under this Agreement, any Term Notes issued under this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:



(x)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(y)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Term Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
(z)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(aa)    any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or
(bb)    the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.10.
Section 11.03.    Certain Waivers. Etc. The Guarantors hereby expressly waive (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and permitted assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent



permitted by Law) any rights and defenses that are or may become available to it by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As provided in Section 10.07, the provisions of this Article 11 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Article 11 which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Article 11, to any other provision of this Agreement or to the Obligations.
Section 11.04.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
Section 11.05.    Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations and obligations related to any Secured Hedge Agreement) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Person that is not a Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in an manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.06.    Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
Section 11.07.    Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
Section 11.08.    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 11 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.



Section 11.09.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.11) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 11.10.    Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is a Loan Party or (ii) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Guarantor, and any Guarantor referred to in clause (i), a “Transferred Guarantor”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.10 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents; provided, that no Guarantor shall be released as provided in this paragraph if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(o), any Permitted Additional Debt, any Junior Financing or any Permitted Refinancing of any of the foregoing.
When all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied, this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall automatically terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to Obligations that expressly survive such repayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 11.11.    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which 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 11.05. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.



Section 11.12.    Additional Guarantor Waivers and Agreements.
(e)    Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under the Guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives (to the extent permitted by Law) and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or § 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which the Secured Parties are receiving for creating the Obligations.
(f)    Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties; and (ii) if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor even if the Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon § 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.



(g)    Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law)any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure § 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

by a certificate, unless such election and such interest is thereafter represented by a certificate that is delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 2.05.    Registration in Nominee Name; DenominationsIf an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give the Borrower 5 Business Days prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights, (a) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause each of the Pledged Securities to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent and (b) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give the notice referred to above in order to exercise the rights described above. Each Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section.
Section 2.06.    Voting Rights; Dividends and InterestUnless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing 5 Business Days prior thereto that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:
(i)    Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii)    The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request in writing for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(iii)    Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged

12



Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the applicable Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing and within 5 Business Days of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under Section 2.06(a)(iii), then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(iii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). Any and all Money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such Money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and, other than in the case of a waiver of which the Collateral Agent is aware, the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to such effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(a)(iii) in the absence of an Event of Default and that remain in such account.
(c)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing and within 5 Business Days of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under Section 2.06(a)(i), then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 2.06(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become, subject to the rights of the

13



ABL Agent under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and, other than in the case of a waiver of which the Collateral Agent is aware, the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to such effect, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(a)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall be reinstated.
(d)    Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower suspending the rights of the Grantors under Section 2.06(a)(i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under Section 2.06(a)(i) or (iii) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.06(a), (b) or (c), if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any notice referred to in said Section in order to exercise any of its rights described in such Section, and the suspension of the rights of each of the Grantors under each such Section shall be automatic upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event of Default.
Section 2.07.    Collateral Agent Not a Partner or Limited Liability Company MemberNothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Equity consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or any other Person.

(d)    At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 days after written demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the written foregoing authorization.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Grantors shall be required: (i) other than in respect of Pledged Collateral constituting Certificated Securities of wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries directly owned by the Borrower or any Grantor, to perfect the security interests hereunder through “control” (including for the avoidance of doubt, to enter

21



into any deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement or any other control agreement with respect to any deposit account, securities account or any other Collateral that requires perfection by “control” other than the Collateral Account), (ii) to complete any filings or other action with respect to the perfection of the security interests, including of any Intellectual Property, created hereby in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or any State thereof, (iii) to perfect by possession of any intercompany notes evidencing an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, (iv) to perfect by possession of Promissory Notes or any other Instruments evidencing an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, and (iv) to take any actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. (including the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary) or to perfect any security interest in such assets, including any Intellectual Property registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction).

If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount (taking the greater of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) of $5,000,000 or more, the Borrower (on behalf of such Grantor) will provide concurrently with the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement thereafter supplements to Schedule II describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

Special Provisions Concerning Intellectual Property Collateral
Section 4.01.    Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof or any other rights of the Collateral Agent as the holder of a Security Interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of rent, royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located (whether or not any license agreement by and between any Grantor and any other Person relating to the use of such Intellectual Property Collateral may be terminated hereafter), and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided, however, that any license granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence, validity, and value of the affected Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, protecting Trademarks in the manner set forth below (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property Collateral above and beyond (x) the rights to such Intellectual Property Collateral that each Grantor has reserved for itself and (y) in the case of Intellectual Property Collateral that is licensed to any such Grantor by a third party, the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property Collateral hereunder). The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may only be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. In the event the license set forth in this Section 4.01 is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the following shall apply: (i) all goodwill arising from any licensed or sublicensed use of any Trademark shall inure to the benefit of the Grantor; (ii) the licensed or sublicensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by Grantor prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein; and (iii) at the Grantor's request and expense, licensees and sublicensees shall provide reasonable cooperation in any effort by the Grantor to maintain the registration or otherwise secure the ongoing validity and effectiveness of such licensed Trademarks, including, without limitation the actions and conduct described in Section 4.02 below. The license granted to the Collateral Agent herein shall be inapplicable to any Commercial Software License that constitutes Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent the

23



applicable Grantor is prohibited by written agreement from granting a license in such Commercial Software License to the Collateral Agent, except to the extent such prohibition is ineffective (or deemed ineffective) under the UCC or other applicable Law.
Section 4.02.    Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security.
(h)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 4.02(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority located in the United States to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.
(i)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 4.02(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, lose its competitive value).
(j)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 4.02(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.
(k)    Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral after the Closing Date (the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.
(l)    Concurrently with the delivery of a Compliance Certificate for each fiscal quarter, each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Security

24



Agreement Supplement and related Grant of Security Interest with respect to applications for registration or registrations of Intellectual Property Collateral (other than with respect to any Copyright that is not material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole) owned or exclusively licensed by it as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, to the extent that such Intellectual Property Collateral is not covered by any previous Security Agreement Supplement (and Grant of Security Interests) so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it will promptly cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with the U.S. Copyright Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as appropriate
(m)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any or its Intellectual Property Collateral, the enforcement of license agreements or the pursuit of actions against infringers, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.
(n)    Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall, if requested by the Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
ARTICLE V

Remedies
Section 5.01.    Remedies Upon DefaultUpon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under this Agreement, the UCC or other applicable Law, and, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that subject to any additional notification requirements in Section 2.06 the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; (iv) withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any Collateral Account (if any) and apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of this Agreement; (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any

25



broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate and (vi) with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, on demand, cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Intellectual Property Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine, provided, however, that such terms shall include all terms and restrictions that customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property Collateral at issue, such as, without limitation, notice, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software, and confidentiality protections for trade secrets. Each Grantor acknowledges and recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77, (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if such securities were sold at public sales, (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit such securities to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. The Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or

26



more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes of determining the Grantors’ rights in the Collateral, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full, provided, however, that such terms shall include all terms and restrictions that are customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property Collateral at issue, such as, without limitation, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software, and protecting the confidentiality of trade secrets. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

27



Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights (except in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in which case no such notice shall be required), for the purpose of, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Collateral Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Collateral Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.
Section 5.02.    Application of ProceedsSubject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. It is understood and agreed that, to the extent expressly assumed under the Loan Documents, the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE VI

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
Upon payment by any Grantor of any Secured Obligations, all rights of such Grantor against the Borrower or any other Grantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for then unasserted claims). If any amount shall

28



erroneously be paid to any Grantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Grantor, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Grantor (other than the Borrower) shall, under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Secured Obligations (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Grantor making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Grantors in an amount equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Grantor’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Grantors. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Grantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Grantor hereunder and under the Credit Agreement without (a) rendering such Grantor “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Grantor with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Grantor unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.
ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous
Section 7.01.    NoticesAll communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to a Grantor other than the Borrower shall be given to it in care of the Borrower.
Section 7.02.    Waivers; Amendment%3. No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have under applicable Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

29



(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Hedge Bank (in its capacity as such) shall have the right to consent to any waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification hereto.
Section 7.03.    Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification%3. The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder to the extent of, and as expressly provided in, Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
%3.The parties agree that Section 10.05(b) of the Credit Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement.
(a)    Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable within 10 Business Days of written demand therefor.
Section 7.04.    Successors and AssignsWhenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns. No Grantor or Grantors may assign any of its or their rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Collateral Agent.
Section 7.05.    Survival of AgreementAll covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.13 hereof or, with respect to the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of any individual Grantor, until such Grantor is otherwise released from its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.13(b).
Section 7.06.    Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several AgreementThis Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different

30



counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
Section 7.07.    SeverabilityIn the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 7.08.    [Reserved.]GOVERNING LAW
Section 7.09.    HeadingsArticle and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 7.10.    Security Interest AbsoluteAll rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) subject only to termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement, but without prejudice to reinstatement rights under Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement, any other circumstance that might

31



otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.
Section 7.11.    Termination or Release%3. This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate automatically (without further action required) with respect to all Secured Obligations when all the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than obligations that may thereafter arise in respect of the Secured Hedging Agreements not yet due and payable and contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement.
(a)    A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released in the circumstances set forth in Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement.

(c)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), or (c), the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release or subordination. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
(d)    At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action described in immediately preceding clause (d), it shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c). The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 7.13.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Hedge Bank by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be secured pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Secured Obligations are so secured and (ii) any release of Collateral effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank.
Section 7.12.    Additional Restricted SubsidiariesPursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that were not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this Agreement as Grantors upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted

32



Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.

(ii)    if any payment or bankruptcy Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the ABL Credit Agreement) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character to any Person that is not a Loan Party shall be made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent or the ABL Agent (as applicable) in its reasonable discretion; and
(iii)    if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities),





in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Holder in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Issuer or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Holder and each Issuer hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Lenders”), the ABL Agent, and the Secured Parties under the ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, may proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.
The Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Issuer that is not a Loan Party shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Issuer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Issuer and each Holder, the obligations of such Issuer, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Holder the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Holder and other creditors of such Issuer other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Each Holder is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances or other credit extensions made by it to any Issuer (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note as between each Issuer and each Holder contains additional terms to any intercompany loan agreement between them and this Note does not in any way replace such intercompany loans between them nor does this Note in any way change the principal amount of any intercompany loans between them.

(i)    In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the ABL Agent (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the ABL Facility Documentation or consented to by the requisite ABL Lenders, irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred, the Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties that, so long as the Term Agent, for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the Proceeds of such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent that such Proceeds are not applied to the ABL Obligations as provided in Section 4.1(b) hereof), such sale, transfer or other disposition will be free and clear of the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) securing the Term Obligations, and the Term Agent’s and the Term Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) so sold, transferred, or disposed shall terminate and be automatically released without further action concurrently with, and





to the same extent as, the release of the ABL Secured Parties’ Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral. In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, the Term Agent agrees that it will promptly execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the ABL Agent in connection therewith. The Term Agent hereby appoints the ABL Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the ABL Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Term Agent and in the name of the Term Agent or in the ABL Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
(ii)    In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the Term Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the Term Agent (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Term Priority Collateral (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the Term Facility Documentation or consented to by the requisite Term Lenders, irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred, the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties that, so long as the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the Proceeds of such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent that such Proceeds are not applied to the Term Obligations as provided in Section 4.1(c) hereof), such sale, transfer or disposition will be free and clear of the Liens on such Term Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) securing the ABL Obligations and the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to the Term Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof) so sold, transferred, or disposed shall terminate and be automatically released without further action concurrently with, and to the same extent as, the release of the Term Secured Parties’ Liens on such Term Priority Collateral. In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, the ABL Agent agrees that it will promptly execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Term Agent in connection therewith. The ABL Agent hereby appoints the Term Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the Term Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the ABL Agent and in the name of the ABL Agent or in the Term Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the Term Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).





Section 2.5    No New Liens Subject to the terms set forth in Sections 2.5(c), 2.5(d) and 6.1:
(a)    It is the anticipation of the parties that, until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, no Term Secured Party shall acquire or hold any consensual Lien on any assets securing any Term Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Facility Documentation. If any Term Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Facility Documentation, then the Term Agent (or the relevant Term Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Secured Party, any Term Borrower or any Term Guarantor and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Facility Documentation, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of the ABL Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.
(b)    It is the anticipation of the parties that, until the date upon which the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred, no ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any consensual Lien on any assets securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Agent under the Term Facility Documentation. If any ABL Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Agent under the Term Facility Documentation, then the ABL Agent (or the relevant ABL Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party or any ABL Loan Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Facility Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of the Term Agent as security for the Term Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Term Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.
(c)    The existence of a maximum claim with respect to any real property subject to a mortgage which applies to all Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to be a difference in Collateral among any series, issue or class of Term Obligations or ABL Obligations.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Term Facility Documentation or ABL Facility Documentation to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and Cash Equivalents specifically pledged to any Secured Party or group of Secured Parties secures only the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Parties and shall be applied as specified in the applicable Term Facility Documentation or ABL Facility Documentation pursuant to which such Secured Obligations are issued and secured and will not constitute Collateral hereunder.
Section 2.6    Waiver of Marshalling.





(a)    Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
(b)    Until the Discharge of the Term Obligations, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Term Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
ARTICLE 3    
ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES
Section 3.1    Certain Actions Permitted. The Term Agent and the ABL Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Term Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Term Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to Term Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.
Section 3.2    Agent for Perfection. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Secured Party, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Term Secured Party, as applicable, each agree to (i) hold all Control Collateral in their respective possession, custody, or control (including as defined in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, 9-107 and 8-106 of the UCC) (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either) and (ii) be notated on all certificated collateral, in each case as gratuitous bailee (or subagent) for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Control Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. None of the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Agent, or the Term Secured Parties,





as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control, possession or notation of the Control Collateral as gratuitous bailee (or sub agent) for the other Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Term Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable. The ABL Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the Term Secured Parties or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the Term Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Term Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the ABL Secured Parties, or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Term Secured Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. In addition, the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, hereby agrees and acknowledges that other than with respect to ABL Priority Collateral that may be perfected through the filing of a UCC financing statement, the ABL Agent’s Liens may be perfected on certain items of ABL Priority Collateral with respect to which the Term Agent’s Liens would not be perfected but for the provisions of this Section 3.2, and the Term Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, hereby further agrees that the foregoing described in this sentence shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
Section 3.3    Sharing of Information and Access. In the event that the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Facility Documentation or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Term Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall (subject to confidentiality obligations imposed by applicable law, obligation otherwise), upon request from the Term Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Term Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the Term Agent copies thereof. In the event that the Term Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any ABL Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall (subject to confidentiality obligations imposed by applicable law, obligation otherwise), upon request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Agent copies thereof.
Section 3.4    Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance Proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance Proceeds. The ABL Agent and the Term Agent shall each be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Collateral as set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation or the Term Facility Documentation, as applicable. The ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term





Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral, in each case in accordance with the ABL Facility Documentation. The Term Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Term Priority Collateral, in each case in accordance with the Term Facility Documentation. Subject to the terms of the ABL Facility Documentation and Term Facility Documentation, if any insurance claim includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, and if the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties. All Proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and each of the ABL Agent and Term Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance Proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.
Section 3.5    No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6 or as expressly set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation or Term Facility Documentation, if any ABL Secured Party or Term Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Term Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Term Secured Party.
Section 3.6    Inspection and Access Rights. (a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral (or any other Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent), and whether or not the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party has commenced and is continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies of the Term Agent, the ABL Agent or any other Person (including any ABL Loan Party) acting with the consent, or on behalf, of the ABL Agent, during the Use Period, (a) shall have the right, during normal business hours on any Business Day, to access ABL Priority Collateral that (i) is stored or located in or on, (ii) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code), or (iii) has been commingled with (within the meaning of Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code) Term Priority Collateral (collectively, the “ABL Joint Collateral”), and (b) shall have the irrevocable right to use the Term Priority Collateral (including Equipment, Inventory, Fixtures, Intellectual Property, General Intangibles and Real Property) on a rent-free, royalty-free basis, each of the foregoing solely for the limited purposes of assembling, inspecting, copying or downloading information stored on, taking actions to perfect its Lien on, taking possession of, moving, preparing and advertising for sale, selling (by public auction, private sale or a “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any ABL Loan Party’s business), storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without





notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Term Secured Party or liability to any Term Secured Party; provided, however, that the expiration of the Use Period shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law. In the event that any ABL Secured Party has commenced and is continuing the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any ABL Joint Collateral or any other sale or liquidation of the ABL Joint Collateral has been commenced by an ABL Loan Party (with the consent of the ABL Agent), the Term Agent may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer the related Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use Period, unless the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.6.
(b)    During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Secured Parties and/or the ABL Agent (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Term Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Term Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Agent have any liability to the Term Secured Parties and/or to the Term Agent pursuant to this Section 3.6 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Agent of their rights under this Section 3.6, and the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the occupation, use or control thereof by the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Agent, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral that results from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the occupation, use or control of the Term Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Agent in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 3.6. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 3.6, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall cooperate with the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Agent in connection with any efforts made by the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Agent to sell the Term Priority Collateral.
(c)    The ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties (or any person claiming by, through or under the Term Secured Parties, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to the ABL Loan Parties, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties of the Term Priority Collateral.
(d)    The ABL Secured Parties shall (i) use the Term Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law, (ii) insure or cause to be insured for damage to property and liability to persons, including property and liability insurance for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties and (iii) reimburse the Term Secured Parties for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear and tear excepted) caused by the gross negligence or





willful misconduct of Persons under their control (except for those arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Term Secured Party); provided, however, that the ABL Secured Parties will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom.
(e)    The Term Agent and the other Term Secured Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder or obstruct the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties from exercising the rights described in Section 3.6(a) hereof.
(f)    Subject to the terms hereof, the Term Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Term Priority Collateral without notice to (except as required by applicable law), the involvement of or interference by any ABL Secured Party or liability to any ABL Secured Party as long as, in the case of an actual sale, the purchaser assumes and agrees to the obligations of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties under this Section 3.6.
(g)    In furtherance of the foregoing in this Section 3.6, the Term Agent, in its capacity as a Secured Party (or as a purchaser, assignee or transferee, as applicable), and to the extent of its interest therein, hereby grants to the ABL Agent a nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, license or sublicense (solely for the purposes described below) any and all Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Loan Parties (except to the extent such grant is prohibited by any rule of law, statute, regulation), included as part of the Term Priority Collateral (and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) solely as is or may be necessary or advisable in the ABL Agent’s reasonable judgment for the ABL Agent to process, ship, produce, store, supply, lease, complete, sell, liquidate or otherwise deal with the ABL Priority Collateral, or to collect or otherwise realize upon any Accounts (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) comprising ABL Priority Collateral, in each case solely in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies; provided that (i) any such license shall terminate upon the sale of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral and shall not extend or transfer to the purchaser of such ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) the ABL Agent’s use of such Intellectual Property shall be reasonable and lawful, and (iii) any such license is granted on an “AS IS” basis, without any representation or warranty whatsoever, provided, further, however, that any license granted by the ABL Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected Intellectual Property Collateral, including provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of Trade Secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, protecting Trademarks in the manner provided in Section 4.01 of the Term Security Agreement and other reasonable and customary provisions and restrictions. The Term Agent (i) acknowledges and consents to the grant to the ABL Agent by the Loan Parties of the license referred to in Section 4.01 of the Term Security Agreement and (ii) agrees that its Liens in the Term Priority Collateral shall be subject in all respects to such license. Furthermore, the Term Agent agrees that, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies conducted by the Term Agent in respect of Term Priority





Collateral, (x) any notice required to be given by the Term Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall contain an acknowledgement of the existence of such license and (y) the Term Agent shall provide written notice to any purchaser, assignee or transferee pursuant to an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies that the applicable assets are subject to such license.
Section 3.7    Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, further agree that prior to an issuance of any notice of Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies by a Secured Party (unless a bankruptcy or insolvency Event of Default then exists), any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under control agreements, which are used by any Loan Party to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents and the Lenders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired.
Section 3.8    Purchase Right
(a)    If (i) the ABL Agent or “Required Lenders” (or similar term) (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) shall sell, lease, license or dispose of all or substantially all of the ABL Priority Collateral by private or public sale, (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred or shall have been commenced, or (iii) the ABL Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement shall have been accelerated (including as a result of any automatic acceleration) or shall remain unpaid 30 days following the Maturity Date (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), (each such event described in clauses (i) through (iii) herein above, a “Purchase Option Event”), the Term Secured Parties shall have the opportunity to purchase (at par and without premium) all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8; provided, that such option shall expire if the applicable Term Secured Parties fail to deliver a written notice (a “Purchase Notice”) to the ABL Agent within ten (10) Business Days following the first date the Term Agent obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of the earliest Purchase Option Event, which Purchase Notice shall (A) be signed by the applicable Term Secured Parties committing to such purchase (the “Purchasing Creditors”) and indicate the percentage of the ABL Obligations to be purchased by each Purchasing Creditor (which aggregate commitments must add up to 100% of the ABL Obligations) and (B) state that (1) it is a Purchase Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement and (2) the offer contained therein is irrevocable. Upon receipt of such Purchase Notice by the ABL Agent, the Purchasing Creditors shall have from the date of delivery thereof to and including the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the Purchase Notice was received by the ABL Agent to purchase all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8 (the date of such purchase, the “Purchase Date”).
(b)    On the Purchase Date, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties shall, subject to any required approval of any Governmental Authority and any limitation in the ABL Credit Agreement, in each case then in effect, if any, sell to the





Purchasing Creditors all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations. On such Purchase Date, the Purchasing Creditors shall (i) pay to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, as directed by the ABL Agent, in immediately available funds the full amount (at par and without premium) of all ABL Obligations then outstanding together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon, all in the amounts specified by the ABL Agent and determined in accordance with the applicable ABL Facility Documents, (ii) furnish such amount of cash collateral in immediately available funds as the ABL Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the ABL Secured Parties in connection with any (x) contingent “Cash Management Obligations” (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) or (y) issued and outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement but not in any event in an amount greater than 102% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all such outstanding letters of credit (provided that in the case of clauses (x) and (y) herein above, any excess of such cash collateral for such contingent Secured Cash Management Services Obligations or letters of credit remaining at such time when there are no longer any such contingent Secured Cash Management Services Obligations or letters of credit outstanding and there are no unreimbursed amounts then owing in respect of such Secured Cash Management Services Obligations or drawings under such letters of credit shall be promptly paid over to the Term Agent) and (iii) agree to reimburse the ABL Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from the granting of provisional credit for any checks, wire or ACH transfers that are reversed or not final or other payments provisionally credited to the ABL Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and as to which the ABL Agent and ABL Secured Parties have not yet received final payment as of the Purchase Date. Such purchase price shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account of the ABL Agent (for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties) as the ABL Agent shall have specified in writing to the Term Agent. Interest and fees shall be calculated to but excluding the Purchase Date if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Creditors to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Purchase Date if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Creditors to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account after 1:00 p.m., New York time.
(c)    Any purchase pursuant to the purchase option set forth in this Section 3.8 shall, except as provided below, be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Secured Parties as to the ABL Obligations, the collateral or otherwise, and without recourse to the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties as to the ABL Obligations, the collateral or otherwise, except that the ABL Agent and each of the ABL Secured Parties, as to itself only, shall represent and warrant only as to the matters set forth in the assignment agreement to be entered into as provided herein in connection with such purchase, which shall include (i) the principal amount of the ABL Obligations being sold by it, (ii) that such Person has not created any Lien on any ABL Obligations being sold by it, and (iii) that such Person has the right to assign the ABL Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment agreement has been duly authorized.





(d)    Upon notice to the Loan Parties by the Term Agent that the purchase of ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8 has been consummated by delivery of the purchase price to the ABL Agent, the Loan Parties shall treat the Purchasing Creditors as holders of the ABL Obligations and the Term Agent shall be deemed appointed to act in such capacity as the “agent” or “administrative agent” (or analogous capacity) (the “Replacement Agent”) under the ABL Facility Documentation, for all purposes hereunder and under each ABL Facility Document (it being agreed that the ABL Agent shall have no obligation to act as such replacement “agent” or “administrative agent” (or analogous capacity)). In connection with any purchase of ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8, each ABL Lender and ABL Agent agrees to enter into and deliver to the applicable Term Lenders on the Purchase Date, as a condition to closing, an assignment agreement customarily used by the ABL Agent in connection with the ABL Credit Agreement and, at the expense of the Loan Parties, the ABL Agent and each other ABL Lender shall deliver all possessory collateral (if any), together with any necessary endorsements and other documents (including any applicable stock powers or bond powers), then in its possession or in the possession of its agent or bailee, or turn over control as to any pledged collateral, deposit accounts or securities accounts of which it or its agent or bailee then has control, as the case may be, to the Replacement Agent, and deliver the loan register and participant register, if applicable and all other records pertaining to the ABL Obligations to the Replacement Agent and otherwise take such actions as may be reasonably appropriate to effect an orderly transition to the Replacement Agent. Upon the consummation of the purchase of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8, the ABL Agent (and all other agents under the ABL Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to have resigned as an “agent” or “administrative agent” for the ABL Secured Parties under the ABL Facility Documentation; provided that the ABL Agent (and all other agents under the ABL Credit Agreement) shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of a former “agent” or “administrative agent” under the ABL Credit Agreement.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing purchase of the ABL Obligations by the Purchasing Creditors, the ABL Secured Parties shall retain those contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations under the ABL Facility Documentation which by their express terms would survive any repayment of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8.
Section 3.9    Payments Over.
(a)    So long as the Discharge of Term Obligations has not occurred, any Term Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof not constituting ABL Priority Collateral received by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the Term Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over by such person to the Term Agent for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Term Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party. This authorization





is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
(b)    So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, any ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof not constituting Term Priority Collateral received by the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the ABL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over by such person to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and that no application of any ABL Priority Collateral or the release of any Lien by the ABL Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition by the ABL Loan Parties under the ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Term Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all ABL Priority Collateral received by the ABL Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time in accordance with the ABL Documentation; provided, however, that from and after the date on which the ABL Agent (or any ABL Secured Party) or the Term Agent (or any Term Secured Party) commences (and for so long as it continues) the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1. The Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Term Facility Document or any ABL Facility Document, the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, agrees that





(i) only Term Priority Collateral or Proceeds of the Term Priority Collateral received by the Term Agent shall be deposited in the Term Loan Priority Accounts and (ii) prior to the receipt of a Term Cash Proceeds Notice, the ABL Secured Parties are hereby permitted to treat all cash, cash equivalents, Money, collections and payments deposited in any ABL Deposit and Securities Account or otherwise received by any ABL Secured Parties as ABL Priority Collateral, and no such amounts credited to any such ABL Deposit and Securities Account or received by any ABL Secured Parties or applied to the ABL Obligations shall be subject to disgorgement or deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties (and all claims of the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party to such amounts are hereby waived).
(e)    Application of Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the Term Agent hereby agree that all ABL Priority Collateral, ABL Priority Proceeds and all other Proceeds thereof, received by either of them in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, shall be applied,
first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the ABL Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies in accordance with the ABL Facility Documentation,
second, to the payment or discharge of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Facility Documentation until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred,
third, to the payment of the Term Obligations in accordance with the Term Facility Documentation until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred, and
fourth, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The ABL Agent and the Term Agent hereby agree that all Term Priority Collateral, Term Priority Proceeds and all other Proceeds thereof, received by either of them in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral shall be applied,

second, to the payment of the Term Obligations in accordance with the Term Facility Documentation until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred,
third, to the payment of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Facility Documentation until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, and





fourth, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
(g)    Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Term Agent or to any Term Secured Party, and the Term Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party, regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the Parties hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Secured Party on the grounds that any sale, transfer or other disposition by the Secured Party was not commercially reasonable in every respect as required by the Uniform Commercial Code.
(h)    Turnover of Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent shall deliver to the Term Agent or shall execute such documents as the Term Agent may reasonably request (at the expense of the Term Borrower) to enable the Term Agent to have control over any Control Collateral still in the ABL Agent’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Upon the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Term Agent shall deliver to the ABL Agent or shall execute such documents as the ABL Agent may reasonably request (at the expense of the ABL Borrower) to enable the ABL Agent to have control over any Control Collateral still in the Term Agent’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Section 4.2    Specific Performance.
(c)    Each of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, at any time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. Each of the ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, the





Term Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Secured Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the ABL Borrower or any ABL Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Facility Documentation, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may have.
(d)    If the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Term Borrower, any Term Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Term Obligations (a “Term Recovery”), then the Term Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Recovery.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
Section 6.1    DIP Financing.
(h)    If the ABL Borrower or any ABL Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide the ABL Borrower or any ABL Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws or under a court order in respect of measures granted with





similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral) (it being agreed that the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing that purports to be secured by a priming or pari passu lien on the Term Priority Collateral without the consent of the Term Agent), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection (and hereby consents) and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Term Agent securing the Term Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral except as permitted by Section 6.3(c)(i)), so long as (i) the Term Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Term Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under any Debtor Relief Laws) and, as to the Term Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the subject Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on the Term Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the Term Agent on the Term Priority Collateral (other than in respect of any “carve-out”) and (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral. Nothing in this Section 6.1(a) is intended to or shall prevent the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties from objecting to any DIP Financing to the extent (and only to the extent) such DIP Financing requires any material terms of a plan of reorganization or other dispositive arrangement of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws (other than the payment in full of such DIP Facility).
(i)    If the Term Borrower or any Term Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, and the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Term Borrower or any Term Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral) (it being agreed that the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing that purports to be secured by a priming or pari passu lien on the ABL Priority Collateral without the consent of the ABL Agent), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection (and hereby consents) and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the ABL Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under any Debtor Relief Laws) and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the subject





Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing furnished by the Term Agent or Term Secured Parties is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral (other than in respect of any “carve-out”) and (ii) all Liens on Term Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing furnished by the Term Agent or Term Secured Parties shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties securing the Term Obligations on Term Priority Collateral. Nothing in this Section 6.1(b) is intended to or shall prevent the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties from objecting to any DIP Financing to the extent (and only to the extent) such DIP Financing requires any material terms of a plan of reorganization or other dispositive arrangement of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws (other than the payment in full of such DIP Facility).
(j)    All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity, the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall not, without the consent of the ABL Agent, seek to “prime” the Lien of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral or request, seek or receive a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 364(d) or 363(c)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code on the ABL Priority Collateral. For clarity, the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not, without the consent of the Term Agent, seek to “prime” the Lien of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties on the Term Priority Collateral or request, seek or receive a Lien on the Term Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 364(d) or 363(c)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code on the Term Priority Collateral.
Section 6.2    Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Term Priority Collateral without the Term Agent’s express written consent. In addition, neither the Term Agent nor the ABL Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other, unless such period is agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Term Agent to be modified or unless the ABL Agent or Term Agent, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Agent’s or the Term Agent’s ability to realize upon its Collateral.
Section 6.3    No Contest; Adequate Protection. (h) The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral,





except as set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above), (ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the ABL Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) or (iii) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.
(i)    The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, except as set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Term Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above), (ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the Term Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) or (iii) any objection by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the Term Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.
(j)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency Proceeding:
(i)    if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL





Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Agent on ABL Priority Collateral;
(ii)    in the event the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, is granted adequate protection with respect to the Term Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Term Priority Collateral), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the Term Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Term Priority Collateral; and
(iii)    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Term Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise from Proceeds of, or in respect of the value of Term Priority Collateral). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral).
Section 6.4    Asset Sales. (a) The Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, that it will not oppose and shall be deemed to have consented to any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as the Term Agent, for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the Proceeds of such sale (to the extent such Proceeds are not applied to the ABL Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(b)). The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, that it will not oppose and shall be deemed to have consented to any sale consented to by the Term Agent of any Term Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as (i) any such sale is made in accordance with Section 3.6 and (ii) the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the Proceeds of such sale (to the extent such Proceeds are not applied to the Term Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(c)). If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral and the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the allocation





of the purchase price between the ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, either Party may apply to the court in such Insolvency Proceeding to make a determination of such allocation, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties.
(b)    The Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, that the ABL Secured Parties shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that the Term Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have agreed to any credit bid in connection with the sale of Collateral consisting of Term Priority Collateral, and the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, that the Term Secured Parties shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Term Priority Collateral; provided that the ABL Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have agreed to any credit bid in connection with the sale of Collateral consisting of ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, no Term Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent, credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Term Obligations has not occurred, no ABL Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Term Agent, credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Term Priority Collateral.
Section 6.5    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Secured Party and each ABL Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Term Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization (or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws) proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Obligation claims against the Loan Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other class of Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other class of Secured Parties from such Collateral, with the other class of Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the first class of Secured Parties amounts





otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.
Section 6.6    Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.7    ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Term Agent and the Loan Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
A.    any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Facility Document;
B.    any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Facility Document;
C.    any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or
D.    any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of the ABL Obligations, or of any of the Term Agent or any Loan Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.
Section 6.8    Term Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Term Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent and the Loan Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
A.    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Term Facility Document;
B.    any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Term Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Term Facility Document;
C.    any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Term Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or
D.    any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of the Term Obligations, or of





any of the ABL Agent or any Loan Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1    Rights of Subrogation. The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Term Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Term Obligations resulting from payments to the Term Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Term Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.
Section 7.2    Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that either Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the ABL Agent or the Term Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2.
Section 7.3    Representations. The Term Agent represents and warrants to the ABL Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Term Facility Documentation to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding

Section 7.4    Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the Term Agent and the ABL Agent and, in the case of any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to Sections 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 2.5, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.8, 3.9, 4.1, 4.2(b), 5.1(c), 5.2, 6.1, 7.4, 7.7, 7.8 and 7.10 or any other amendment, modification, supplement or waiver which is otherwise adverse to the Borrower, the applicable Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
It is understood that the ABL Agent and the Term Agent, without the consent of any other ABL Secured Party or Term Secured Party, may in their discretion (or at the reasonable request of the Company) determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate (i) to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations of any of the Loan Parties become ABL Obligations or Term Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement or (ii) to effectuate the subordination of Liens securing any Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) to the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations (the indebtedness or other obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, except in the case of Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt or any Permitted Refinancing thereof, specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes ABL Obligations or Term Obligations; provided that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred under the ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Credit Agreement then extant in accordance with the terms thereof.

EXHIBIT K
AUCTION PROCEDURES

This outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms and procedures with respect to Auctions pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.04(k) of the credit agreement, of which this Exhibit K is a part (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement). It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable Auction Procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell by assignment any of its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Auction as a Lender) or whether or not the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Lender pursuant to any Auction. Each Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary. The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a pro rata basis by conducting one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein; provided, that no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time and no more than five Auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower.

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary (the “Offeror”) will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Offeror is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of thereof; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000, at which the Offeror would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon reasonable notice by the Offeror to the Auction Manager.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager and the Borrower (the “Return Bid”, to be included in the Offer Documents) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply





Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided, that each Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender at such time. A Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (the “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”). The Offeror will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, with the consent of (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the Offeror, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Offeror to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Offeror has received Qualifying Bids). The Offeror shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All principal amount of Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price in cash equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

Proration Procedures. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Offeror shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.






Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price in accordance with the terms hereinno later than the next Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager with the consent of (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the Offeror onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Offeror may withdraw an Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager prior to the original Expiration Time. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid. However, an Auction shall become void if the Offeror fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in Section 10.04(k) of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, or to otherwise comply with any of the provisions of such Section 10.04(k). The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in an Auction shall be paid in cash by the Offeror directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager with the consent of (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the Offeror (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due unless extended with the consent of the Offeror), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Offeror shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, with the consent of (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the Offeror, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be final and binding absent manifest error. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, with the consent of the Offeror, will be final and binding absent manifest error.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

Immediately upon the consummation of an Auction pursuant to Section 10.04(k) of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loans subject to such Auction and all rights and obligations as a Lender related to such Term Loans shall for all purposes (including under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall obtain or have any rights as a Lender under the Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of the acquisition of any Term Loans subject to such Auction.






The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under an Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article 9 and Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.
This Exhibit K shall not require the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to initiate any Auction, nor shall any Lender be obligated to participate in any Auction.

1.00%
2.00%

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (a) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 or Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Debt or other liabilities of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein; (b) without giving effect to any treatment of Debt in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 and/or Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof; and (c) treating Unrestricted Subsidiaries as if they were not consolidated with Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and otherwise eliminating all accounts of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Furthermore, unless Administrative Borrower elects otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including negative covenants, financials covenants and component definitions, operating leases and Capitalized Leases will be deemed to be treated in a manner consistent with their current treatment under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of any non-interest bearing Debt or other discount security constituting Debt at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of Parent dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1.3.
1.4    Certain Matters of Construction. The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, “from” means “from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms “including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each Loan Document, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document, instrument or agreement include any amendments, waivers and other modifications, extensions, refinancings, replacements, restructuring or renewals (solely to the extent applicable, to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and subject, in any event, to the definition of Permitted Refinancings as applicable); (c) any section mean, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person includes successors and permitted assigns; or (f) time of day means time of day in New York, New York. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by Parent pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). All calculations of fundings of Loans, issuances of Letters of Credit and payments of Obligations shall be in Dollars and, unless the context otherwise requires, all determinations (including calculations of Borrowing Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). When the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation under any Loan Document is stated to be required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Whenever the phrase “to the best knowledge” of any Loan Party or words of similar import are used in any Loan Documents, it means “Knowledge,” as defined herein. For purposes of determining compliance with any one of Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.3, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.8, 10.2.9 and 10.2.13, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Debt, Disposition, Restricted Payment, affiliate transaction, Contractual Obligation or prepayment of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions permitted pursuant to any clause of such Section, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by Administrative Borrower (and Administrative Borrower shall be entitled to redesignate use of any such clauses from time to time) in its sole discretion at such time. For purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing Parent’s financial statements corresponding to the test period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Debt, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Debt. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity. The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.
1.5    Pro Forma Calculations.
1.5.1    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio, Availability and Liquidity shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.5.
1.5.2    For purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Parent and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, any synergies, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and cost savings as certified by Parent as having been determined in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within twelve (12) months following any such acquisition or disposition, operational change and operational initiatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) all pro forma adjustments under this Section 1.5.2 shall not, taken together with those added pursuant to clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA", increase pro forma Consolidated EBITDA by more than 20% for any test period (calculated prior to giving effect to any addback pursuant to this Section 1.5.2 or clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA"); provided, that such limitation on pro forma adjustments shall not apply if supported by a quality of earnings report prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm or other third-party advisor reasonably acceptable to Agent or if such adjustments satisfy the requirements of Regulation S-X and (B) no pro forma adjustments under this Section 1.5.2 shall be made in respect of the Transactions (including in respect of the IBT Transaction).
1.5.3    Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, any synergies, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and cost savings as certified by the Parent as having been determined in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within eighteen (18) months following any such acquisition or disposition, operational change and operational initiatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) all pro forma adjustments under this Section 1.5.3 shall not, taken together with those added pursuant to clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" and Section 1.5.2, increase pro forma Consolidated EBITDA by more than 20% for any test period (calculated prior to giving effect to any addback pursuant to this Section 1.5.3 or clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" and Section 1.5.2); provided, that such limitation on pro forma adjustments shall not apply if supported by a quality of earnings report prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm or other third-party advisor reasonably acceptable to Agent or if such adjustments satisfy the requirements of Regulation S-X and (B) no pro forma adjustments under this Section 1.5.3 shall be made in respect of the Transactions (including in respect of the IBT Transaction).
1.5.4    In the event that Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Debt included in the calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Availability and Liquidity (other than Debt incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Availability, and Liquidity shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Debt, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (or, with respect to the calculation of Availability and Liquidity, the applicable date of determination) of the Total Leverage Ratio, Availability and Liquidity. Interest on a Capitalized Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Parent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate.
1.5.5    For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in any Test Period in which a Specified Transaction occurs, Capital Expenditures in clause (ii) of the definition of Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall (a) include any Capital Expenditures of the target of a Permitted Acquisition consummated in such Test Period (whether or not such Permitted Acquisition was consummated at the time such Capital Expenditures were made) and (b) exclude any Capital Expenditures made by any Person or that are attributable to any division or line of business, in each case, that is disposed of in such Test Period.
1.5.6    In determining the Consolidated Fixed Charges for any period in which a Specified Transaction occurs, (a) pro forma effect will be given to the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any Debt of Parent and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such period as if such Debt was incurred, repaid or retired on the first day of such period and if such Debt bears, at the option of Parent and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries, a fixed or floating rate of interest, interest thereon will be computed by applying, at the option of Parent, either the fixed or floating rate, and (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges will include fees attributable to any letters of credit issued for the account of the target of a Permitted Acquisition consummated in such Test Period to the extent that such letters of credit (or replacements thereof) remain outstanding after the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition.
1.5.7    Whenever any provision of this Agreement requires Parent to have a Total Leverage Ratio or a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (in each case) on a Pro Forma Basis in connection with any action to be taken by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary hereunder, Parent shall deliver to Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance or such Total Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as applicable.
SECTION 2.    CREDIT FACILITIES
2.1    Commitment.
2.1.1    Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Loans to Borrowers from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Loans may be repaid and reborrowed (without premium or penalty other than any LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee) as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Loan if the Facility Exposure (including after giving effect to the requested Loan) would exceed an amount equal to the Collateral Line Cap.
2.1.2    Notes. The Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. Promptly following the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver a Note to such Lender.
2.1.3    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (in each case to the extent permitted hereunder) (a) on the Closing Date, (ii) to pay Transaction Expenses; and (iii) to consummate the Refinancing Transactions; and (b) after the Closing Date (i) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) for working capital and other lawful purposes of Borrowers (including Permitted Acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures and restricted payments), and to pay all other payments expressly permitted under this Agreement. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.
2.1.4    Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Commitments.
(a)    The Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent at any time, Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, may, at its option, terminate the Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by Administrative Borrower (by notice to Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of the Obligations.
(b)    Borrowers may permanently reduce the Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, from time to time upon written notice to Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a calendar month and shall be effective as of the first (1st) day of the next calendar month. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided, that in no event shall the Commitments be reduced to an amount less than $350,000,000.
2.1.5    Overadvances. If the Facility Exposure exceeds, at any time, the Collateral Line Cap (“Overadvance”), the excess amount (which shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents) shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Agent (or within two (2) Business Days with respect to the repayment of outstanding Loans in the event of an Overadvance caused by an establishment or modification of any component of the Availability Reserve then in effect to the extent that such establishment or modification is not subject to a two (2) Business Day notice period under the definition of Availability Reserve). Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (i) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (A) the Overadvance does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five (5) consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (B) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed, when combined with Protective Advances under Section 2.1.6, ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base; and (ii) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (A) is not increased by more than $10,000,000, and (B) does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. In no event shall an Overadvance Loan be made that would cause the outstanding Facility Exposure to exceed the aggregate Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. Overadvances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied (or waived).
2.1.6    Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its Permitted Discretion (with written notice to Administrative Borrower, provided, that Agent’s failure to provide such notice shall not in any way impair Agent’s right to make such a Protective Advance or the enforceability of such Protective Advance as part of the Obligations), at any time that an Event of Default exists or any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied (or waived) to make Base Rate Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount (together with Overadvances under Section 2.1.5) equal to the greater of (i) $45,000,000 and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the Commitments at such time, if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect any Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses not paid by Borrowers when required hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be Obligations, secured by the Collateral, and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make further Protective Advances by written notice to Agent with a copy to Administrative Borrower. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. In no event shall any Protective Advance be made that would cause the outstanding Facility Exposure to exceed the aggregate Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied or waived.
2.2    Letter of Credit Facility.
2.2.1    Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the LC Conditions, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until one (1) Business Day prior to the Latest Maturity Date, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:
(a)    Each Borrower acknowledges that each Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Issuing Bank’s and Agent’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (ii) such Issuing Bank and Agent receives a LC Request and LC Application at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (iii) each LC Condition is satisfied or waived. No Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit if any LC Condition has not been satisfied. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Closing Date
(b)    Letters of Credit may be requested by Administrative Borrower, for the benefit of a Loan Party, only (iv) to support obligations of such Loan Party; or (v) for other lawful purposes. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit; except, that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank.
(c)    Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, none of Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative.
(d)    In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by such Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence (other than gross negligence) or misconduct (other than willful misconduct) of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless (w) Defaulting Lender has been replaced pursuant to Section 3.8.2 or otherwise, (x) the LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender have been Cash Collateralized, (y) the Commitments of the other Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy Agent that all future LC Obligations will be covered by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders, or (z) all of the LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lenders are able to be reallocated to other Lenders in a manner consistent with the last sentence of Section 4.2.
(f)    If Administrative Borrower requests in any LC Request, the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and Administrative Borrower not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, Administrative Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Latest Maturity date, unless otherwise agreed upon by Agent and Issuing Bank; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has reasonably determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of the LC Conditions), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from Agent, any Lender or Administrative Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6.2 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
2.2.2    Reimbursement; Participations.
(c)    If any Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to such Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the Reimbursement Date until date of payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit issued by it shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Administrative Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to the applicable Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied (or waived).
(d)    Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the applicable Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all LC Obligations (excluding amounts owing pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of LC Obligations) relating to the Letter of Credit. If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one (1) Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, each Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.
(e)    The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank in connection with such Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. No Issuing Bank makes to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Loan Party. No Issuing Bank shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party.
(f)    No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of (i) its own (or its affiliates’, directors’, officers’, employees’ or agents’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or (ii) its own (or its affiliates’, directors’, officers’, employees’ or agents’) material breach of its obligations hereunder. No Issuing Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.
(g)    In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LC Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in any LC Documents shall be void.
2.2.3    Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (c) that an Event of Default exists, (d) that Availability is less than zero, or (e) on or after the Latest Maturity Date (to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized at the time of issuance in accordance with the terms hereof), then Borrowers shall, at the applicable Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s request, pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of all outstanding LC Obligations under clauses (a) and (c) of the definition thereof and Cash Collateralize the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit within two (2) Business Days after written request therefor. If Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit as required herein, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied or waived).
2.3    Increase in Commitments.
2.3.1    General. Administrative Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to Agent (any such notice, an “Increase Notice”) (whereupon Agent shall promptly make a copy of such Increase Notice available to Lenders), request one or more increases to the Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Facility”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000 (the “Maximum Incremental Facility Amount”). Each Incremental Facility shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided, that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 and in lower increments if such amount represents all remaining availability under the Maximum Incremental Facility Amount).
2.3.2    Terms of Incremental Facilities. The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Facility established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment: (i) such Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with all other Commitments; (ii) the maturity date of such Incremental Facility shall not be earlier than the Original Maturity Date; (iii) such Incremental Facility shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of Loan Parties that does not also secure the then outstanding Commitments; (iv) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Incremental Facility shall be consistent with the terms of then outstanding Commitments, (v) pricing in connection with the Incremental Facility shall be consistent with the terms of the then outstanding Commitments, and (vi) fees to be paid in connection with such Incremental Facility shall be mutually agreed upon by Administrative Borrower, Agent and the financial institutions participating in such Incremental Facility. To the extent commitments from additional financial institutions are required in connection with any Incremental Facility, Agent shall control all aspects of the selection and syndication process (in consultation with Administrative Borrower) and be compensated for the arranging of the Incremental Facility in an amount to be mutually agreed with Administrative Borrower.
2.3.3    Increase Notices. Each Increase Notice shall set forth (i) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility and (ii) the date on which the relevant Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (the “Increase Effective Date”). Commitments under any Incremental Facility may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have any obligation to participate in make any Incremental Facility except to the extent that it has agreed to do so pursuant to an Incremental Amendment) or by any other additional Lender (Lenders or additional Lenders participating in such Incremental Facility, collectively, “Incremental Lenders”). Commitments in respect of Incremental Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Administrative Borrower, each Incremental Lender and Agent. Each Incremental Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by Administrative Borrower and the relevant Incremental Lenders; provided, that to the extent such terms and documentation (taken as a whole) are not consistent with this Agreement in any material respect (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent; provided, in any event that such terms shall be consistent with Section 2.3.2 above. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (and for purposes thereof the closing of the Incremental Facility shall be deemed to be a request for a credit extension) and, to the extent reasonably requested by Agent, receipt by Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and a solvency certificate or representation, in each case consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 6.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements.
2.3.4    Incremental Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.1 or otherwise in this Agreement, any Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Agent and Administrative Borrower, to effect the terms thereof, to the extent such terms are permitted under this Section 2.3. Any such Incremental Amendment may include ratable increases in the thresholds set forth in the definition of Payment Conditions and Debt Repayment Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.3 and, if Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with Administrative Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with Administrative Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with Administrative Borrower by Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Incremental Amendment and as required by Applicable Law to protect Agent’s perfected security interest thereon, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Incremental Amendment (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to Agent).
2.3.5    Incremental Facility. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein or in the Incremental Amendment, all of the other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the Commitments immediately prior to the Incremental Facility.
2.4    Extensions of Commitments.
2.4.8    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by Administrative Borrower to all Lenders on a Pro Rata basis and on the same terms to each such Lender, Administrative Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of the Commitments and modify the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the Commitments of such Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments as so extended, as well as the group of original Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted and a separate class of Commitments), so long as the following terms are satisfied (or waived): (i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity date, the Commitments of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Commitments”) shall have the terms and conditions that are substantially identical to all other Commitments; provided, that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extended Commitments and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Commitments after the effective date of the applicable Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis or less in the event the Borrowers elect to reduce the Commitments of non-extending Lenders with all other Commitments, (2) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis or less in the event the Borrowers elect to reduce the Commitments of non-extending Lenders by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Commitments after the effective date of the applicable Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Commitments, except that Administrative Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such class on a non-pro rata basis at maturity as compared to any other class with a later maturity date than such class, and (4) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Commitments and Loans, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Commitment shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date, (iv) if the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments offered to be extended by Administrative Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Commitments of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by Administrative Borrower.
2.4.9    With respect to all Extensions consummated pursuant to this Section 2.4, (i) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided, that Administrative Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in Administrative Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by Administrative Borrower) of Commitments of any or all applicable classes to participate in such Extension. Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.4.
2.4.10    Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to give effect to each Extension (an “Extension Amendment”), without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Commitments incurred pursuant thereto, and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Agent and Administrative Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.4, and Required Lenders hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment and (B) consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment). Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, if necessary, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Extension (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to Agent).
2.4.11    Notice. In connection with any Extension, Administrative Borrower shall provide Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.4.
SECTION 3.    INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1    Interest.
3.1.4    Rates and Payment of Interest.
(b)    The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at the LIBOR Lending Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one (1) day’s interest shall accrue.
(c)    During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), or during any other Event of Default if Required Lenders so elect, Obligations consisting of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, that the Default Rate shall not accrue on the Obligations of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and each Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for such added cost and expense.
(d)    Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) for any Base Rate Loan, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter and, for any LIBOR Loan, the last day of its Interest Period provided, that in the case of Interest Periods of more than three (3) months, accrued interest on LIBOR Loans shall also be paid on the 90th day of the Interest Period; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of LIBOR Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Maturity Date applicable thereto. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable promptly after written demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable promptly after written demand.
3.1.5    Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Agent on or before 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day, Administrative Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, that, subject to Section 4.3 below, (c) any Base Rate Loan be converted to a LIBOR Loan or (d) any LIBOR Loan be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as a LIBOR Loan with a similar Interest Period; provided, however, that, upon election of Required Lenders by written notice to Administrative Borrower, no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be converted to, or continued as, LIBOR Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In the absence of delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any LIBOR Loan at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
3.1.6    Repayments, Continuations and Conversions of LIBOR Loans. LIBOR Loans shall mature and become payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Loan. Upon maturity, a LIBOR Loan may be continued for an additional Interest Period or may be converted to a Base Rate Loan, as set forth in Section 3.1.2.
3.1.7    Substitute Rate.
(a)    If Agent shall have determined in good faith after the Closing Date that:
(iv)    Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to Agent in the London interbank market or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period; or
(v)    by reason of circumstances affecting Agent in the London interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Loans of any duration,
then, upon written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower, the obligations of Lenders hereunder to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until Agent shall notify Administrative Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(b)    If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the LIBOR Rate no longer adequately reflects such Lender’s cost of funding loans, then, upon notice from such Lender to Administrative Borrower and Agent, the obligations of such Lender under this Section to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify Administrative Borrower and Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
3.2    Fees.
3.2.6    Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a fee equal to the applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage multiplied by the amount by which the Commitments exceed the average daily principal balance of Loans and the stated amount of Letters of Credit during any calendar quarter. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date applicable thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no fees shall accrue under this Section 3.2.1 in favor of any Defaulting Lender for so long as it remains a Defaulting Lender.
3.2.7    LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans multiplied by the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter; (b) to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, a fronting fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (.125%) of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit and quarterly in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter thereafter, and shall be payable on any increase in stated amount made between any such dates; and (c) to Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), or during any other Event of Default if Required Lenders so elect, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, no fees shall accrue under this Section 3.2.2 in favor of any Defaulting Lender for so long as it remains a Defaulting Lender.
3.2.8    Other Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein. To the extent payment in full of the applicable fee as set forth in the Fee Letter is received by Agent from Borrowers on or about the date hereof, Agent shall pay to each Lender its share of such fees in accordance with the terms of the arrangements of Agent with such Lender.
3.3    Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days (or 365/366 days, in the case of Base Rate Loans). Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate or refund, nor subject to proration except as specifically provided herein. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 (which shall include the method for calculating such amount), submitted to Administrative Borrower by Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Failure to or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to any of Sections 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.10 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 any Lender pursuant to any such Section for any increased costs, reductions or other amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, notifies Administrative Borrower of circumstances and/or events giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or other amounts and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstance and/or event giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or other amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.4    Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (e) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (f) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (g) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.10, each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party. All amounts reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall be payable (x) in the case of Extraordinary Expenses, promptly upon written demand, and (y) with respect to all other amounts due pursuant to this Section 3.4, within thirty (30) days of written demand thereof, in each case including customary documentation supporting such request.
3.5    Illegality. If a Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and Agent be conclusive and binding on Borrowers) that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan of a certain duration, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert into any such LIBOR Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify Borrower and Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.
3.6    Increased Costs. If on or after the date hereof any Change in Law:
(a)    shall subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for Excluded Taxes); or
(b)    shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender or shall impose on such Lender or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any available LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after written demand (including customary documentation supporting such request) by such Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.6 for any Taxes which are otherwise the subject of Section 5.10 or for any Excluded Tax.
3.7    Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, or Person Controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in its Permitted Discretion) that the rate of return on its or such Controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Loans made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such Controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender to Borrower and Agent, Borrowers shall promptly pay, after presentment of the certificate described in Section 3.3, directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its Permitted Discretion) shall deem applicable.
3.8    Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.
3.8.1    Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, upon becoming aware that it is subject to Section 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 5.10, it will take reasonable measures to reduce Borrowers’ obligations under such Sections, including funding or maintaining its Commitments or Loans through another office, as long as use of such measures would not adversely affect Lender’s Commitments, Loans, business or interests, and would not be inconsistent with any internal policy or applicable legal or regulatory restriction.
3.8.2    Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.6 or Section 3.7, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 or 5.11, or if any Lender ceases to make LIBOR Loans as a result of any of the conditions in Section 3.5, then Administrative Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender (and such Lender shall be obligated) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.3), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in drawn Letters of Credit and, other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Administrative Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.6 or 3.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.10 or 5.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
(b)    Any Lender being replaced pursuant to clause (a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender's Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in drawn Letters of Credit, as applicable (provided, that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register) and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to Administrative Borrower or Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender's Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in drawn Letters of Credit, as applicable, (B) all obligations of Loan Parties owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loan Documents and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender or Administrative Borrower (as applicable) to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, any amounts owing to the assigning Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) under Section 13.1 as a consequence of such assignment and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by Borrowers, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
3.9    Indemnities. In addition to (but without duplication of) the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee payable under Section 5.5.1, Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender (without duplication) for any increase in the cost to such Lender, or reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender, in respect, or as a result of:
(c)    any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loans on a date prior to the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
(d)    any Loans not being made as LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing thereof;
(e)    any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Notice of Conversion/ Continuation notice thereof; or
(f)    any costs associated with marking to market any obligations under any Hedging Agreement with a Bank Product Provider that (in the reasonable determination of Agent) are required to be terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower and Agent in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by Borrowers to such Lender within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers. Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) each Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate, the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred by Lenders. Borrowers further agree to pay the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee and other funding losses (except for lost profits), if any, whether or not the applicable Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9 for any Taxes which are otherwise the subject of Section 5.10 or for any Excluded Tax.
3.10    Maximum Interest. In no event shall interest, charges or other amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to any Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law (“interest”) exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If, in any calendar month, any interest rate, absent the foregoing limitation, would have exceeded the maximum rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the maximum rate and, if in a future month, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the maximum rate, then the rate shall remain at the maximum rate until the amount of interest actually paid equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if it had not been limited by the maximum rate. If, upon Full Payment of the Obligations, the total amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents is less than the total amount of interest that would, but for this Section, have accrued under the Loan Documents, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have been charged if the maximum rate had been in effect at all times, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents been in effect, minus (b) the amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Agent or any Lender has received interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable Law, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, Obligations other than interest (regardless of any erroneous application thereof by Agent or any Lender), and upon Full Payment of the Obligations, any balance shall be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether any excess interest has been charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time charged or received from Borrowers in connection with the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations.
SECTION 4.    LOAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1    Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.
4.1.9    Notice of Borrowing.
(c)    Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of Loans, Administrative Borrower shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one (1) month if not specified).
(d)    Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.
(e)    At such time as Borrowers have established and maintain controlled disbursement accounts with Agent or Agent’s Affiliate, the parties agree that the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on, or other transfer made from, such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the check and items presented for payment. At such time, the proceeds of such Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement accounts or other appropriate account.
4.1.10    Fundings by Lenders. Each Lender shall timely honor its Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days before the proposed funding date for LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in which event Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the requested funding date. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans as directed by Administrative Borrower. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not in fact received by Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.
4.1.11    Notices. Each Loan Party authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions. Administrative Borrower, for the account of Borrowers, shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Loan Party as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Loan Party’s behalf.
4.2    Defaulting Lender. 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 and whether in respect of Loans, participation interests or otherwise). For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). At any time that there is a Defaulting Lender, payments received for application to the Obligations payable to Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be distributed to such non-defaulting Lenders on a Pro Rata basis calculated after giving effect to the reduction of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan to zero (0) as provided herein or at Agent’s option, Agent may instead receive and retain such amounts that would be otherwise attributable to the Pro Rata share of the Defaulting Lender. To the extent that Agent elects to receive and retain such amounts, Agent may hold them and, in its reasonable discretion, relend such amounts to Borrowers. To the extent that Agent exercises its option to relend such amounts, such amounts shall be treated as Loans for the account of Agent in addition to the Loans that are made by Lenders, other than Defaulting Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis as calculated after giving effect to the reduction of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to zero (0) as provided herein but shall be repaid in the same order of priority as Protective Advances for purposes of Section 5.7.1 hereof, except as Agent may otherwise elect. Agent shall determine whether any Loans requested shall be made from relending such amounts or from Loans from Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders and any allocation of requested Loans between them. The rights of a Defaulting Lender shall be limited as provided herein until such time as the Defaulting Lender (a) has made all payments to Agent of the amounts that it had failed to pay causing it to become a Defaulting Lender, (b) has made any other payments as it would have been required to make as a Lender during the period that it was a Defaulting Lender other than in respect of the principal amount of Loans, which payments as to the principal amount of Loans shall be settled and funded based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on the date that Defaulting Lender makes all of the payments required to be made under Section 4.2(a) above or shall be settled and funded by such Lender at such other time thereafter as Agent may specify, and (c) is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the making of such payment or payments by Defaulting Lender with respect to the event that is the basis for it having become a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall (i) cease to be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) only be entitled to receive the payment of interest (and no other amounts) accrued during the period that such Lender was a Defaulting Lender to the extent previously received and retained by Agent from or for the account of Borrowers relating to the funds constituting Loans funded by such Lender prior to the date that such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (and not previously paid to such Lender), (iii) have its Commitment reinstated for all purposes and (iv) fund Loans and settle in respect of the Loans and other Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. The existence of a Defaulting Lender and the operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse (except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to such Defaulting Lender) the performance by any Borrower or Guarantor of its duties and obligations hereunder. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender with a Commitment, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit the Pro Rata share of each non-Defaulting Lender with a Commitment shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender, and such obligation to so acquire, refinance or fund participations in such Letters of Credit shall automatically be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders with Commitments or Commitments, as applicable, upon such Defaulting Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided, that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in such Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans of that Lender. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender with a Commitment arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
4.3    Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. No more than eight aggregated LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each aggregate LIBOR Loan when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $250,000 in excess thereof.
Upon determining the LIBOR Lending Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Administrative Borrower, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.
4.4    Administrative Borrower.
(e)    Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower, Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.
(f)    Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as Agent of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.4. Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of Borrowers, or the issuance of any Letters of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.
(g)    Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h)    Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Loan Party by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party.
(i)    No purported termination of the appointment of Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as approved by Agent).
4.5    One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.
4.6    Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitments, all Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt) shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). All undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination of the Commitments, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, in each case, until Full Payment of the Obligations. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.6, 5.10, 12, 15.2, 15.11 and this Section, and the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility (except as expressly provided for in any such release) provided, that the survival of Section 15.11 following Full Payment of the Obligations shall be limited to the period of two (2) years following such Full Payment of the Obligations. In addition to (and not in any way limiting) Section 15.20 hereunder, upon Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity Obligations which have not been asserted) and termination of all Commitments, Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Agent.
SECTION 5.    PAYMENTS
5.1    General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, and subject to Section 5.10, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time, at the election of Agent, shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, may, at the time of payment, specify to Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied; provided, that if not specified, such amounts shall be applied to repay outstanding Loans without a corresponding Commitment reduction. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee and all amounts due under Section 3.9. Subject to Section 5.7.1, any payment or prepayment of Loans shall be applied to each Lender’s Loans on a Pro Rata basis. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.
5.2    Repayment of Loans. Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date. Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, other than the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee, if applicable. If an Overadvance exists, Borrowers shall immediately (or within two (2) Business Days with respect to the repayment of outstanding Loans in the event of an Overadvance caused by an establishment or modification of any component of the Availability Reserve then in effect to the extent that such establishment or modification is not subject to a two (2) Business Day notice period under the definition of Availability Reserve) repay the outstanding Loans and Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, in each case in an amount sufficient to reduce the Facility Exposure to the Collateral Line Cap; provided, that once any such Overadvance no longer exists any funds on deposit as Cash Collateral for LC Obligations shall be returned.
5.3    Reserved.
5.4    Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 5.7, during any Cash Dominion Trigger Period, Borrowers shall (a) prepay the Loans, and (b) pay other amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the proceeds and collections received by Loan Parties to the extent so required under the provisions of Section 8.3 (it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this sentence, LC Obligations shall be deemed to not be outstanding). Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 5.4, first, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Loans (without any reduction in the Commitments), second, shall be applied ratably to all other amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, third, shall, if required by Agent during an Event of Default, be used to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations, and fourth, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall be remitted to Borrowers.
5.5    Payment of LIBOR Loans and Other Obligations.
5.5.1    LIBOR Loans. LIBOR Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Administrative Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 2:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Loans, and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Loan during an Interest Period may result in Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Loans on any date prior to the last day of an Interest Period shall be accompanied by, and Borrowers hereby promise to pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, on each such date or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (excluding in all events the loss of anticipated profits) (“LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee”) determined by Agent pursuant to the following formula:
(c)    the then current LIBOR Rate applicable to an Interest Period with a maturity date closest to the end of the Interest Period with respect to the LIBOR Loans being prepaid as to which prepayment is made, subtracted from
(d)    the LIBOR Lending Rate applicable to the LIBOR Loan being prepaid.
If the result of this calculation is zero (0) or a negative number, then there shall be no LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by:
(iii)    the amount of the LIBOR Loan being prepaid.
The resulting amount shall be divided by:
(iv)    360
and multiplied by:
(v)    the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is being made.
The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee.
5.5.2    Other Obligations. Obligations (other than Loans, obligations under Hedging Agreements and Bank Product Debt), including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on written demand.
5.6    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any Loan Party makes a payment to Agent or Lenders, or if Agent or any Lender receives payment from the proceeds of Collateral, exercise of setoff or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently invalidated or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received and any enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.7    Post-Default Allocation of Payments.
5.7.2    Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (except, in the case of LC Obligations, Section 8.3.2), during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Loan Party, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:
(f)    first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, and indemnities owing to Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(g)    second, to interest owing to Agent on Protective Advances or Overadvance Loans;
(h)    third, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances and Overadvance Loans;
(i)    fourth, to all Obligations constituting fees (excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);
(j)    fifth, to all Obligations constituting interest (excluding amounts relating to Bank Products, Protective Advances; and Overadvance Loans);
(k)    sixth, to pay the principal of all Loans not paid pursuant to clause (d) above and/or to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations;
(l)    seventh, to pay all other Obligations other than Obligations in connection with any Bank Product Debt;
(m)    eighth, to Bank Product Debt; and
(n)    ninth, as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment of the Obligations thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt shall be the lesser of the applicable Bank Product Amount last reported to Agent and Administrative Borrower or the actual Bank Product Debt as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent and Administrative Borrower for determining the amount due. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt, but may rely upon written notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of such notice, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the Bank Product Amount last reported to it.
5.7.3    Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).
5.8    Application of Payments. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, in accordance with Section 8.3.2, the collected funds in each Dominion Account as of the end of each Business Day (or less frequently if agreed to by Agent) shall be swept to the Master Account and promptly applied in accordance with Sections 5.4 and 8.3. If, as a result of Agent’s receipt of Payment Items or proceeds of Collateral, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of any Loan Party and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists in accordance with Section 5.4.
5.9    Loan Account; Account Stated.
5.9.1    Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Loan Parties to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Administrative Borrower, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.
5.9.2    Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within forty-five (45) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.
5.10    Taxes.
5.10.1    Except as required by Applicable Law, any and all payments by Borrowers to or for the account of Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes with respect to any sum payable under any Loan Documents, (a) except with respect to withholding or deductions in respect of Excluded Taxes, the sum payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made; (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions; and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
5.10.2    Borrowers shall indemnify Lenders, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) paid or payable by such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any Obligations and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, that if any Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided, further, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 5.10.2 for any amounts paid or incurred in any Fiscal Year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within 270 days from the end of such Fiscal Year; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such 270-day period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Administrative Borrower by a Lender, or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the provisions of Sections 5.10.1 or 5.10.2, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Borrower and Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Excluded Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Borrower or Agent) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or Agent by any Governmental Authority. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent, Administrative Borrower or any Borrower to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Agent under this Section 5.10.2. The agreements in this Section 5.10.2 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
5.11    Withholding Tax Exemption.
5.11.1    Each Lender (with respect to the relevant lending office) and Agent shall, if reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent, deliver such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or as reasonably requested by such party, as will enable such party to determine whether such Lender (with respect to the relevant lending office) is subject to withholding under Applicable Law, is entitled to an exemption from such withholding or is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. In addition, each Lender (with respect to the relevant lending office) and Agent shall deliver updated or appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously delivered by such party or promptly notify Administrative Borrower and Agent. In addition, each Lender (with respect to the relevant lending office) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by Applicable Law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Lender (with respect to the relevant lending office) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are exempt from any withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow Administrative Borrower and Agent to determine the amount to deduct or withhold. Without limiting the foregoing:
(d)    On or before the date on which a Foreign Lender (or Agent that is not a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) becomes a party to this Agreement, the Foreign Lender (or Agent that is not a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), certifying that such Lender (or Agent that is not a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) can receive payment of Obligations or other amounts payable hereunder without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and such other form or forms, certificates or documentation as reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent to confirm or establish that such party can receive payment of Obligations or other amounts payable hereunder without deduction or withholding of U.S. taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, any Foreign Lender that is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, shall also provide Agent and Administrative Borrower with IRS Form W‑8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) and a certificate, in a form acceptable to Agent and Administrative Borrower, representing to Agent and Administrative Borrower that such Foreign Lender is not: (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) and (4) a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”). To the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, the Foreign Lender shall provide two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, 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 U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two additional copies of any such form and any such other forms and certifications from time to time if requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent and before the preceding form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form, as well as any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent, in each case, certifying that the Foreign Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any such taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty or law) has occurred that renders such forms inapplicable or prevents the Foreign Lender from certifying that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes. During any period that a Foreign Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by reason of an event (including any change in treaty or law) that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Section 5.11 or Section 5.10 as a result of such withholding.
(e)    On or before the date on which such a Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, each Lender or Agent that is a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent such form or forms, certificates or documentation, including two (2) original executed copies of IRS Form W-9, and at all other times as reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent to confirm or establish that such Lender or Agent is not subject to deduction, withholding, or backup withholding of United States Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender to Administrative Borrower and Agent on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.
(f)    Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its obligations shall collect from such Participant the documents described in this Section 5.11.1 and provide them to Administrative Borrower and Agent.
5.11.2    If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender due to a failure on the part of Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 5.11.1, such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent under this Section 5.11.2, together with all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses). The obligation of Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
5.11.3    If a Lender or Agent receives a refund of Taxes for which a payment has been made by a Borrower pursuant to Section 5.10, then such Lender or Agent shall reimburse such Borrower for such amount (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under Section 5.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses by such Lender or Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
5.12    Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
5.12.1    Joint and Several Liability.
(a)    All Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Agent and Lenders account for such Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations with respect to Loans made to a Borrower, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans made to the other Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers. The Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (iv) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (v) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (vi) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, except to the extent such waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence explicitly is effective with respect to such Borrower, (vii) the failure by Agent or Lenders to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (viii) the election of Agent or Lenders in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ix) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of Agent or Lenders for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (x) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the other Borrowers other than Full Payment of the Obligations. With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, each Borrower waives, until Full Payment of the Obligations and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or Lenders now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent and Lenders. Upon any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
(b)    Each Borrower expressly subordinates (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) 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 Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.12.2    Waivers.
(a)    Each Borrower expressly subordinates all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit.
(b)    Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral or any Real Property by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.12. If, in the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) any claim based upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. If Agent bids at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, Agent may bid all or a portion (in Agent’s discretion) of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. Subject to Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be commercially reasonable, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of such Borrower’s Obligations to Agent and Lenders, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
5.12.3    Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that (a) Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, (b) Borrowers make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise in which Borrowers share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the other Borrowers; and (c) certain of Borrowers render services to or for the benefit of other Borrowers, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrowers of creditors of the other Borrowers and guarantees by Borrowers of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and the provision of administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers). Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

SECTION 7.    COLLATERAL
7.1    Grant of Security Interest.

As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, and hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of such Loan Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) all Equity Interests held by it (including those Equity Interests listed on Schedule 7.1.1(a)) and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Loan Party and the certificates representing all such Equity Interests (the “Pledged Equity”); provided, that (A) the Pledged Equity shall not include more than 65% of the voting Equity Interests of (x) each Foreign Subsidiary and (y) each Domestic Subsidiary that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes substantially all of the assets of which consist of Equity Interests or Debt of one or more Foreign Subsidiaries and (B) the Pledged Equity shall not include (x) Margin Stock, (y) Equity Interests in any joint venture, alliance or marketing arrangement or in any Subsidiary that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (but shall include Proceeds thereof), but only to the extent that the creation of a security interest in such Equity Interests is prohibited or restricted by the Organization Documents of such joint venture, alliance or marketing arrangement or Subsidiary or by any contractual restriction contained in any agreement with third party holders of other Equity Interests in such joint venture, alliance or marketing arrangement or Subsidiary which holders are not Affiliates of Parent (except to the extent any such prohibition or restriction is deemed ineffective under the UCC or other Applicable Law) or (z) Equity Interests of (or held as assets by) Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Immaterial Subsidiaries or captive insurance Subsidiaries; (ii)(A) the Promissory Notes and any Instruments evidencing indebtedness owned by it listed opposite the name of such Loan Party on Schedule 7.1.1(a) and (B) any Promissory Notes and Instruments evidencing indebtedness obtained in the future by such Loan Party (the “Pledged Debt”); (iii) all other property that may be delivered to and held by Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1; (iv) subject to Section 8.5, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above; (v) subject to Section 8.5, all rights and privileges of such Loan Party with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above; and (vi) all Proceeds of, and Security Entitlements in respect of, any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the date hereof any Loan Party shall acquire any Equity Interest or Promissory Note (1) in which a pledge (or other security interest) is prohibited or restricted by applicable law or requires the consent of any governmental authority or third party, (2) to the extent a pledge of such Equity Interests or Promissory Note could result in adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by Parent in consultation with Agent and as to which Parent shall have confirmed such determination by written notice to Agent or is otherwise listed on Schedule 7.1.1(a) on the Closing Date; provided, such asset is not specifically included in the Collateral or (3) in circumstances where the cost of obtaining a pledge of such Equity Interests or Promissory Note exceeds the practical benefit to Lenders afforded thereby as reasonably determined between Parent and the Collateral Agent and as to which Agent shall have confirmed such determination by written notice to Administrative Borrower or is otherwise listed on Schedule 7.1.1(a) on the Closing Date then such Equity Interest or Promissory Note shall not be included in the Pledged Collateral. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Loan Document, in no event shall any Excluded Property constitute Pledged Collateral.

7.2    Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested, in Agent’s reasonable discretion in consultation with Administrative Borrower, in Cash Equivalents (it being further understood and agreed that all interest on such Cash Equivalents belongs to Loan Parties), but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement, understanding or course of dealing with any Loan Party, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss (other than in the case of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the terms of this Agreement). Each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, whether such Cash Collateral is held in the Cash Collateral Account or elsewhere.

7.4.4    Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, the Term Debt Agreement and the Loan Documents, each Loan Party shall, with the delivery of the next required Compliance Certificate, notify Agent in writing in such Compliance Certificate if, after the Closing Date, any Loan Party obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon Agent’s reasonable written request, shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such Collateral, including obtaining any necessary possession or control agreement subject, in each instance, to the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement. Within the same delivery period as required for the delivery of the annual Compliance Certificate required to be delivered under 10.1.2 of this Agreement, Administrative Borrower shall provide a list of any additional USPTO or USCO registrations of Intellectual Property of all Loan Parties not previously disclosed to Agent including such information as is necessary to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.

To the extent consistent with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, each Loan Party hereby further authorizes Agent to file filings with the USPTO and USCO (or any successor office or any similar office) or other necessary documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Loan Party hereunder in any Intellectual Property, without the signature of such Loan Party, and naming such Loan Party, as debtor, and Agent, as secured party.

Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
8.2.6    Proceeds of Collateral. Loan Parties shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral and all other amounts received by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary are made directly to a Dominion Account.

8.3    Administration of Deposit Accounts; Cash Dominion Trigger Period; Borrowing Base Cash Account.
8.3.5    Deposit Accounts; Deposit Account Control Agreements.
(d)    Schedule 8.3 sets forth all deposit accounts maintained by Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a deposit account and will amend Schedule 8.3 to reflect same at the next required delivery of a Compliance Certificate. Except for Excluded Deposit Accounts, each Loan Party shall be the sole account holder (unless co-owned with another Loan Party) of each deposit account owned by it and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent and Term Agent or any of its agents or designees) to have control over any deposit account of Loan Parties or any Property deposited therein.
(e)    Loan Parties shall obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement covering, or otherwise take all reasonable actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of, each deposit account of Loan Parties other than Excluded Deposit Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, Agent and Lenders hereby agree that Loan Parties may have (x) up to forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Agent shall agree in its reasonable discretion) to obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement covering, or otherwise take all reasonable actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of, each deposit account (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) maintained by Loan Parties with any bank or depository other than RBS, and (y) up to sixty (60) days following the consummation of any Permitted Acquisition or acquisition constituting an Investment permitted under this Agreement (or such later date as Agent shall agree in its reasonable discretion (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) to obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement covering, or otherwise take all reasonable actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of, each deposit account (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) acquired by any Loan Party in connection with such transaction.
8.3.6    Cash Dominion Trigger Period.
(i)    Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that, during a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, all available funds constituting the proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (whether or not on deposit in a Dominion Account) shall be transferred daily to the Master Account and, to the extent that there are any amounts outstanding hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to Agent Payment Account and applied by Agent in accordance with Sections 5.4 and 5.8 and this Section 8.3. Accordingly, each Loan Party hereby authorizes and directs each Dominion Account bank to deliver to the Master Account, on a daily basis, all balances in each Dominion Account. Each Loan Party irrevocably appoints Agent as such Loan Party’s attorney-in-fact, during a Cash Dominion Trigger Period, to collect such balances to the extent any such delivery is not so made. Agent agrees that it shall not give any instructions under any Deposit Account Control Agreement, or withhold any withdrawal rights with respect to funds in any Dominion Account, unless, until and only for so long as a Cash Dominion Trigger Period is in effect.
(j)    During the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Period or, at the election of Agent, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent agrees that (x) each Loan Party may have unfettered access to cash on deposit in all Dominion Accounts to the extent not used to pay outstanding amounts under this Agreement in accordance with Sections 5.4 and 5.8 and this Section 8.3, and (y) Loan Parties shall have no obligation to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations outstanding at such time.
(k)    Following the end of any Cash Dominion Trigger Period, (x) those automatic transfers to the Master Account described above shall cease, (y) Agent shall promptly transfer all amounts on deposit in the Master Account to the Concentration Account or such other deposit account as directed by Administrative Borrower, and (z) Agent shall promptly revoke those instructions delivered by Agent during such Cash Dominion Trigger Period to each Dominion Account bank with respect to each Dominion Account.
8.3.7    Borrowing Base Cash Account. Loan Parties may deposit cash in the Borrowing Base Cash Account from time to time which cash, once deposited in such account, shall constitute Eligible Borrowing Base Cash for all purposes hereunder. No amounts may be withdrawn from the Borrowing Base Cash Account without the consent of Agent. Without limiting Agent’s “control” over all amounts on deposit in the Borrowing Base Cash Account under Article 9 of the UCC, Agent hereby agrees to authorize the withdrawal of cash from the Borrowing Base Cash Account from time to time at the request of Administrative Borrower (any such withdrawal, a “Borrowing Base Cash Release”) so long as (x) no Event of Default then exists or would arise as a result of the proposed Borrowing Base Cash Release, and (y) Availability as of the proposed date of such Borrowing Base Cash Release after giving effect thereto is not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Collateral Line Cap, in each case as certified by a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower and accompanied by such evidence as Agent may reasonably request.
8.3.8    Cash Management. Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, will maintain the Borrowing Base Cash Account, Borrowers’ primary unrestricted excess cash account, and their Master Account with Agent.

(b)    Parent shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, change, terminate or release in any manner materially adverse to the interests of Lenders any term or condition of any Junior Financing Documentation (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) if the effect thereof would be to cause such Junior Financing to no longer constitute Junior Financing without the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

11.5    Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Commercial Reasonableness.
11.5.4    Cumulative Rights. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation or substitution of each other. In particular, the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Agent and Lenders may have, whether under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.
11.5.5    Waivers. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Loan Parties with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise, shall not operate as a waiver thereof nor as establishment of a course of dealing. All rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of the Obligations. No modification of any terms of any Loan Documents (including any waiver thereof) shall be effective, unless such modification is made in accordance with Section 15.1. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may exist at such time, unless expressly stated. If Agent or any Lender accepts performance by any Loan Party under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein, or during any Default or Event of Default, or if Agent or any Lender shall delay or exercise any right or remedy under any Loan Documents, such acceptance, delay or exercise shall not operate to waive any Default or Event of Default nor to preclude exercise of any other right or remedy. It is expressly acknowledged by Loan Parties that any failure to satisfy a financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date other than in respect of the covenant in Section 10.2.10.
11.5.6    Commercial Reasonableness. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (m) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (n) 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 consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (o) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (p) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (q) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (r) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (s) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (t) 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 capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (u) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (v) to disclaim disposition warranties, (w) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (x) 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 Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section.
SECTION 12.    AGENT
12.1    Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.
12.1.2    Appointment and Authority. Each Lender appoints and designates RBS as Agent hereunder. Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (u) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (v) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (w) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (x) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (y) exercise all rights and remedies given to Agent with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts constitute Eligible Accounts or whether to impose or release any component of the Availability Reserve in its Permitted Discretion, and to exercise its Permitted Discretion in connection therewith, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.
12.1.3    Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, nor be required to initiate or conduct any Enforcement Action except to the extent directed to do so by Required Lenders while an Event of Default exists. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.
12.1.4    Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its respective duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence (other than gross negligence) or misconduct (other than willful misconduct) of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
12.1.5    Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the circumstances described in Section 15.1.1, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans, nor to terminate the Commitments of one Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.
12.2    Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.
12.2.3    Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.6, (b) that is the subject of a Disposition permitted hereunder, (c) subject to a Lien permitted hereunder and entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens), (d) constitutes Excluded Property, (e) in the case of Collateral subject to a Lien that is owned by a Guarantor (or Equity Interests issued by such Guarantor), automatically upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty as permitted hereunder, (f) to release or subordinate any Lien (or other easement or encumberance) on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property permitted hereunder (to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens (or other easements or encumberances) and (g) in all other cases, the release us approved, ratified or consented to by Required Lenders or, in the case of a release of substantially all of the Collateral, all Lenders (except as otherwise permitted). In connection with any release pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 12.2.1, Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
12.2.4    Possession of Collateral. Agent and Lenders appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens (for the benefit of Secured Parties) in any Collateral that, under the UCC or other Applicable Law, can be perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any such Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
12.2.5    Reports. Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender copies of the results of any field audit or other examination or any appraisal prepared by or on behalf of Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (ii) that neither RBS nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (jj) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (kk) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that obtain all or any part of a Report through such Lender.
12.3    Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals.
12.4    Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or a Loan Party specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate its Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.
12.5    Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.7.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.7.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
12.6    Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees.
12.6.1    Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO RESULT FROM AGENT INDEMNITEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF WILFUL MISCONDUCT. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference from a Loan Party or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent, as applicable, by Lenders to the extent of each Lender’s Pro Rata share.
12.6.2    Proceedings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any proceeding is brought against any Agent Indemnitees by a Loan Party, or any Person claiming through a Loan Party, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by Agent in connection with any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or matters relating thereto, or otherwise to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction relating to any Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees with respect thereto and to pay to Agent Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of any amount that any Agent Indemnitee is required to pay under any judgment or other order entered in such proceeding or by reason of any settlement, including all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending same, except to the extent such claims are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence of wilful misconduct. In Agent’s Permitted Discretion, Agent may reserve for any such proceeding, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distributions of Collateral proceeds to Lenders.
12.7    Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses to the extent caused by Agent’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent do not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party or Lender of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Loan Party of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.
12.8    Successor Agent and Co-Agents.
12.8.1    Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof to Lenders and Administrative Borrower (the date of resignation elected by Agent subject to the notice requirements set forth herein, the “Resignation Effective Date”). Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (rr) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (ss) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Event of Default exists under Sections 11.1(a) or (j)) is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, then Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) appoint a successor agent from among Lenders which successor (provided no Event of Default exists under Sections 11.1(a) or (j)) shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Borrower. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification expressly set forth in Sections 12.6 and 15.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent and such Agent shall continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 15.11. Any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of RBS shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.
12.8.2    Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent; provided, that such Person shall not be a Disqualified Lender. If Agent so appoints a collateral agent or, each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.
12.9    Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any Lender, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party as such Lender feels necessary. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders and Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent, or any of its respective Affiliates.
12.10    Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event that any Lender (a) fails to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan or LC Obligation hereunder, and such failure is not cured within two (2) Business Days or such Lender is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, (b) defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all directly and adversely affected Lenders, all Lenders or Supermajority Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, of the then Administrative Borrower, may require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s) pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s). Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with any such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).
12.11    Remittance of Payments and Collections.
12.11.1    Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Loan Documents.
12.11.2    Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent.
12.11.3    Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, Lenders shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.
12.12    Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, RBS shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include RBS in its capacity as a Lender. Each of RBS and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Loan Party and their Affiliates, as if RBS were any other bank, without any duty to account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. In their individual capacity, RBS and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Party, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that RBS and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to Lenders, if acquired in such individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder.
12.13    Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than RBS, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by RBS as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.
12.14    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 12.1.1, Section 12.2.5, Section 12.8, Section 12.10 and this Section 12.14 is an agreement solely among Lenders and Agent, and does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Lenders as herein provided.
SECTION 13.    BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
13.1    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except, that, (ll) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents except as permitted hereby, and (mm) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.
13.2    Participations.
13.2.3    Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents; provided, that no Disqualified Lender shall be permitted to be a Participant. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.10 and Section 5.11 unless (x) the Participant agrees to comply with, and does in fact comply with, Sections 5.10 and 5.11, and (y) Administrative Borrower agrees otherwise in writing that such Participant is so entitled.
13.2.4    Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than pursuant to Section 15.1.1(c), 15.1.1(d)(ii) or 15.1.1(d)(iv).
13.2.5    Benefit of Set-Off. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it (without duplication of any amounts that may be set off by such Participant). By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.
13.2.6    Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and interest thereon) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no sale, grant or other transfer of a participation shall be effective until recorded in the Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and Borrowers, Lenders and Agent 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 notice to the contrary. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Agent, any Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 13.2.4 shall be construed so that all loans and other indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).
13.3    Assignments.
13.3.7    Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (x) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent, and so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.1(a) or (j) has occurred or is continuing, Administrative Borrower in their discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (y) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion); (c) reserved; (d) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance; and (e) such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or to any central bank having authority over such Lender in accordance with Applicable Law, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, however, that any payment by Loan Parties to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy such Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall need the prior consent of Administrative Borrower or Agent to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or to convey or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person.
13.3.8    Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit J and a processing fee of $3,500, and subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to Section 13.3.3, such assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From the effective date of such assignment, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as appropriate.
13.3.9    Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Agent, Borrowers and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the related Commitments and Obligations as set forth next to the name of such Person in the Register, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 13.3.3 shall be construed so that all loans and other indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).
13.4    Tax Treatment. If any interest in a Loan Document is transferred, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Sections 5.10 and 5.11.
13.5    Representation of Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Loan Party, Agent and other Lenders that none of the consideration used by it to fund its Loans or to participate in any other transactions under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the interests of such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets under ERISA.
SECTION 14.    GUARANTY.
14.1    Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Full Payment of the Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.
14.2    Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (c) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (d) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (e) any requirement that Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any Property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (f) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations (other than Full Payment of the Obligations), and (g) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than Full Payment of the Obligations by Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.
14.3    No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder (except (i) as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) any defense of payment or performance).
14.4    Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the express terms and conditions of this Section 14, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any other Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any such Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party.
14.5    Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional, other than in connection with payment of the Obligations, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:
(ii)    any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Loan Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrowers or otherwise;
(jj)    any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;
(kk)    the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any Loan Document or instrument executed an delivered in connection herewith or therewith;
(ll)    any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;
(mm)    any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and
(nn)    other than payment of the Obligations, any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents.
14.6    Waiver of Notice. Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above.
14.7    Agent’s Discretion. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may at any time and from time to time (during the term of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid but otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
14.8    Reinstatement.
(z)    The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of any final judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such final judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lenders.
(aa)    Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.
(bb)    No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.
(cc)    If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.
(dd)    All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any Guarantor as a result of its Guarantee hereunder, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are collaterally assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to Full Payment of the Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Guarantor from any Loan Party as a result of its Guarantee hereunder shall be held by such Guarantor for the benefit of Agent on behalf of Secured Parties. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate upon the Full Payment of the Obligations and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.
(ee)    Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor on account of its Guarantee of the Obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof, except as permitted hereunder.
14.9    Action Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent at written request of Required Lenders shall, without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party or any other Person, declare any Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the Obligations of each Guarantor. Subject to the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement, each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against any Loan Party (the “Intercompany Claims”) be represented by any notes, other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall, to the extent such Intercompany Claim exceeds $5,000,000, either be made payable to Agent (or its bailee), or if payable to any Guarantor, shall promptly be endorsed by such Guarantor to Agent (or its bailee). Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Intercompany Claims shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 11.1(j) and notice with respect thereto by any Guarantor.
14.10    Statute of Limitations. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise by any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.
14.11    Reserved.
14.12    Guarantor’s Investigation. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of Loan Parties and of the financial condition of Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender has made, and Agent and Lenders do not hereby make, any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party nor has Agent or any Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Section 14 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Agent or any Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.
14.13    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any other Loan Party hereunder to honor all of such Loan Party’s obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 14.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 14.13, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under Applicable Law, including Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 14.13 shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of the Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 14.12 constitute, and this Section 14.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
14.14    Termination. The provisions of this Section 14 shall remain in effect until Full Payment of the Obligations and irrevocable termination of the Commitments; provided, that with respect to any Guarantor released pursuant to Section 15.19, the provisions of this Section 14 shall no longer apply to such Guarantor on and after such release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of Agent and Administrative Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to (x) correct or cure ambiguities, errors, omissions, defects, (y) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (z) incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Guaranties, collateral documents, security documents, control agreements, custodial rights agreements, intercreditor agreements and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by Agent and may be amended, modified, terminated or waived, and consent to any departure therefrom (or any requirement of delivery including, without limitation, timeframe) may be given, without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, waiver or consent is given in order to (x) comply with local law or advice of counsel or (y) cause such guaranty, collateral document, security document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (z) due to administrative convenience. Administrative Borrower and Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Borrower and Agent to effect the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2,4 and 3.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.
In addition, notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Loan Parties (or any one of them) and Agent may enter into any other applicable intercreditor agreements for their financing sources without the consent, approval or ratification of Required Lenders.
15.1.11    Limitations.

15.1.12    Payment for Consents. No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or other thing of value is offered to all Lenders and is paid to all such Lenders that so agree to modify in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such modification.

Subject to Section 4.1.3, all notices, requests and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at Administrative Borrower’s address shown above, and to any other Person at its address shown above (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 15.3.1. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective only (tt) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (uu) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (vv) if given by electronic mail, when transmitted to the applicable e-mail address; (d) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1.1 or 5.3.2 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice, request or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.
15.3.4    Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent, electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.2, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.3. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.
15.3.5    Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party, other than any liabilities, actual losses, costs and expenses resulting from (i) its own (or its affiliates’, directors’, officers’, employees’ or agents’) gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) its own (or its affiliates’, directors’, officers’, employees’ or agents’) material breach of its obligations hereunder or (iii) any dispute among Indemnities that does not involve an act or omission by any Loan Party or any of Loan Party’s subsidiaries (other than any claims against Agent or an Arranger in their capacity as such but subject to clause (i) above. Each Indemnitee agrees (by accepting the benefits hereof) to refund and return any and all amounts paid by any Loan Party to such indemnities to the extent any of the foregoing items described in clauses (i), (ii) or, if applicable, (iii) occurs. The Loan Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Party to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee and (b) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. In case any proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnitee for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, then such Indemnitee will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower of the commencement of any proceeding; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Administrative Borrower will not relieve the Loan Parties from any liability that they may have to such Indemnitee pursuant to this “Indemnity” section or from any liability that the Loan Parties may have to such Indemnitee other than pursuant to this “Indemnity” section, except and solely to the extent that the Loan Parties are materially prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding the above, following such notification, the Loan Parties may elect in writing to assume the defense of such proceeding, and, upon such election, the Loan Parties will not be liable for any legal costs subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee (other than reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel for the Indemnitees of monitoring such proceeding, investigation and providing evidence) in connection therewith, unless (i) the Loan Parties have failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, (ii) counsel provided by the Loan Parties reasonably determines that its representation of such Indemnitee would present it with a conflict of interest, or (iii) the Indemnitee reasonably determines that there are actual conflicts of interest between the Loan Parties and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Loan Parties. In connection with any one proceeding, the Loan Parties will not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all Indemnitee plus additional conflicts and local counsel as provided herein.
15.4    Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion at any time and from time to time with ten (10) days' prior notice, at Loan Parties’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (oo) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (pp) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (qq) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Loan Parties, promptly following written demand. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
15.5    Credit Inquiries. Subject to Section 15.11, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.
15.6    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
15.7    Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise specifically provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.
15.8    Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and they shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals. Agent may require confirmation by a manually-signed original, but failure to request or deliver same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature.
15.9    Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior understandings regarding the same subject matter.
15.10    Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of the Loan Documents. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute Agent and Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute Control of any Loan Party. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that in connection with all aspects of any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, Loan Parties, Agent, any Issuing Bank and Lenders have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Loan Party, Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship.
15.11    Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of any information that Loan Parties deliver to Agent and Lenders and only use such information in connection herewith; except, that, Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (a) to their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents, including legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisors on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential; (b) to any party to the Loan Documents from time to time; (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency; provided, that Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Administrative Borrower as soon as practicable prior to any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) upon the request of any Governmental Authority exercising regulatory authority over Agent or such Lender; provided, that Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Administrative Borrower as soon as practicable prior to any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (e) which becomes available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis; (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby, or otherwise as required by Applicable Law; provided, that Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Administrative Borrower as soon as practicable prior to any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (g) to the extent reasonably required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents; (h) to any actual or proposed party to a Bank Product or to any Transferee, as long as such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section for the benefit of the Loan Parties; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender; (j) to any investor or potential investor in an Approved Fund that is a Lender or Transferee, but solely for use by such investor to evaluate an investment in such Approved Fund, or to any manager, servicer or other Person in connection with its administration of any such Approved Fund; or (k) with the prior consent of Loan Parties provided, that in no event shall any such information be given to a Disqualified Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ names in advertising and other promotional materials with the prior consent of Administrative Borrower.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 of the Loan Agreement, the undersigned, solely in his/her capacity as a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower, certifies, as of the date hereof, as follows:
1.    Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of [December][•], 201[•] and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous Fiscal Year, all in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, audited and accompanied by a report and opinion of KPMG LLP, any other independent registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing or any other independent registered public accounting firm approved by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), which report and opinion (i) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, (ii) shall not be subject to qualifications or exceptions as to the scope of such audit, (iii) shall be without a “going concern” disclosure or like qualification or exception (it being understood that for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2013, the audit may have a going concern explanatory paragraph); provided, that solely with respect of the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2018, the audited financial statements may have a “going concern” qualification arising solely due to the pending maturity of the Obligations and/or the Term Debt (or any replacement or refinancing thereof), and (iv) is accompanied with customary management discussion analysis. Also attached hereto as Exhibit A are the related (x) consolidating financial statements reflecting the adjustments necessary to eliminate the accounts of Unrestricted Subsidiaries (if any) (which may be in footnote form only) from such consolidated financial statements.

These present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Parent and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes (and accompanied by customary management discussion and analysis). Also attached hereto as Exhibit A are the related consolidating financial statements reflecting the adjustments necessary to eliminate the accounts of Unrestricted Subsidiaries (if any) (which may be in footnote form only) from such consolidated financial statements.
3.    Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a reasonably detailed consolidated budget for 20[ ] on a quarterly basis (including a projected consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the end of 20[ ], the related consolidated statements of projected cash flow and projected income and a summary of the material underlying assumptions applicable thereto) (collectively, the “Projections”), which Projections are prepared in good faith and are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation of such Projections. It is understood by Agent and Lenders that such projections as to future events (i) are not to be viewed as facts, (ii) are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which may be beyond the control of Parent and Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) are not assured by Parent and Restricted Subsidiaries as to whether the results or forecasts in any such projections will be realized, (iv) may differ from the actual results and such differences may be material, (v) are not a guarantee of performance, and (vi) may vary significantly from the actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and such differences may be material.
4.    To my knowledge, except as otherwise disclosed to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement, no Default has occurred as of the date hereof. [If unable to provide the foregoing certification, describe in reasonable detail the reasons therefor and circumstances thereof and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto on Annex A attached hereto.]

SCHEDULE 7.1.1(b)
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan and Security Agreement to which this Schedule 7.1.1(b) is appended (the “Agreement”). Unless otherwise noted, all references to sections and schedules herein are to the sections and schedules of the Agreement.
1.1    Pledge of Securities.    
1.1.1    Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.
(a)    On the Closing Date (in the case of any Loan Party that grants a Lien on any of its assets hereunder on the Closing Date (a “Closing Date Grantor”) or on the date on which it signs and delivers a joinder to the Agreement as a Guarantor and such other security agreements and documents required under Section 10.1.11(a)(i)(A) of the Agreement, each Loan Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), any and all Pledged Securities (other than any Uncertificated Securities, but only for so long as such Securities remain uncertificated) to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case of Promissory Notes and Instruments evidencing Debt, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 1.1.1. Thereafter, whenever such Loan Party acquires any other Pledged Security (other than any Uncertificated Securities, but only for so long as such Uncertificated Securities remain uncertificated), such Loan Party shall concurrently with the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered thereafter pursuant to Section 10.1.2 of the Agreement deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) such Pledged Security as Collateral hereunder to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case of Promissory Notes and Instruments evidencing Debt, are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.1.1(b) hereof.
(b)    Each Loan Party will cause (i) all Debt of Parent and Restricted Subsidiaries that, in each case, is owing to such Loan Party to be evidenced by the Intercompany Note or other Promissory Note, (ii) the Intercompany Note or such other Promissory Note to be pledged and delivered to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) any Debt for borrowed money having an aggregate principal amount equal to or in excess of $5,000,000 owed to such Loan Party by any Person (other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary) to be evidenced by a duly executed Promissory Note that is pledged and delivered to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), within 30 days after creation or acquisition thereof, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c)    Upon delivery to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), (i) any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to Agent and by such other instruments and documents as Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Loan Party and such other instruments or documents as Agent may reasonably request. For any period in which Pledged Securities are delivered to the Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), the Loan Parties shall provide with the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered thereafter pursuant to Section 10.1.2 of the Agreement a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 7.1.1(a) to the Agreement and be made a part hereof; provided, that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Closing Date Grantor does not or cannot deliver any Pledged Collateral (other than Pledged Collateral consisting of the Equity Interests of Parent or any wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of Parent) on the Closing Date notwithstanding its use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, such Closing Date Grantor shall not be required to deliver such Pledged Collateral until the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion).
(e)    The assignment, pledge and security interest granted in Section 7.1.1 of the Agreement are granted as security only and shall not subject Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Loan Party with respect to or arising out of the Pledged Collateral.
1.1.2    Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Loan Party represents, warrants and covenants, as to itself and the other Loan Parties, to and with Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:
(a)    Schedule 7.1.1(a) to the Agreement correctly sets forth, as of the Closing Date and as of each date on which a supplement to such Schedule 7.1.1(a) is delivered pursuant to Section 1.1.1(c) hereof, the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity and includes all Equity Interests, Promissory Notes and Instruments required to be pledged hereunder in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement;
(b)    the Pledged Equity issued by a Restricted Subsidiary and the Pledged Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the best of Parent’s knowledge) have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and (i) in the case of Pledged Equity (other than Pledged Equity consisting of limited liability company interests or partnership interests which, pursuant to the relevant Organization Documents, cannot be fully paid and non-assessable), are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than Parent or a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of Parent, to the best of Parent’s knowledge), are legal, valid and binding obligations of the issuers thereof, subject to applicable Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of equity.
(c)    (i) each Loan Party holds the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule 7.1.1(a) to the Agreement as owned by such Loan Party free and clear of all Liens, other than (A) Liens created by the Security Documents and (B) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1, and (ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than the Liens permitted pursuant to this Section 1.1.2(c)), however, arising, of all Persons whomsoever;
(d)    (i) except for (x) restrictions and limitations imposed by the Loan Documents or securities laws generally or Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1 and (y) in the case of Pledged Equity of Persons that are not Subsidiaries, transfer restrictions that exist at the time of acquisition of Equity Interests in such Persons, and (ii) except as described in the Perfection Certificate, or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, 10.2.1 of the Agreement, the Pledged Collateral is and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and none of the Pledged Collateral is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that would prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect in any manner material and adverse to Secured Parties the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by Agent of rights and remedies hereunder;
(e)    each of Loan Parties has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;
(f)    no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority in the United States, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary to the validity and perfection of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect);
(g)    by virtue of the execution and delivery by Loan Parties of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) in accordance with this Agreement together with such stock powers or similar instruments of transfer executed in blank, Agent will obtain a legal, valid and, to the extent governed by the UCC, first-priority (subject to any Liens permitted pursuant by Section 10.2.1) perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and
(h)    the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, the rights of Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Loan Parties shall be required: (i) other than in respect of Pledged Collateral constituting Certificated Securities of wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries directly owned by any Loan Party and Dominion Accounts (subject to the provisions of Section 8.3.1), to perfect the security interests hereunder through “control”, (ii) to perfect by possession of Promissory Notes or any other Instruments evidencing a face principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000 and (iii) to take any actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. or to perfect any security interest in such assets (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction).
1.1.3    Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent any interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Loan Party and pledged under Section 7.1.1 of the Agreement is a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and is governed by Article 8 of the UCC, such interest shall be represented by a certificate. Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled on or after the Closing Date by such Loan Party and pledged hereunder that is not a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, such Loan Party shall at no time elect to treat any such interest as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, nor shall such interest be represented by a certificate, unless such election and such interest is thereafter represented by a certificate that is delivered to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) pursuant to the terms hereof.
1.1.4    Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and Agent shall give Administrative Borrower 5 Business Days prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights, (a) Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause each of the Pledged Securities to be transferred of record into the name of Agent and (b) Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bankruptcy Event of Default (defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not be required to give the notice referred to above in order to exercise the rights described above.. Each Loan Party will use commercial reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably requested by Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section 1.1.4. “Bankruptcy Event of Default” shall mean any Event of Default under Sections 11.01(j) or (k) of the Agreement, provided that, for the purposes of this Agreement only in determining whether such an Event of Default has occurred, any reference in any such clause to any Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party shall be deemed not to include any Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstances referred to in any such clause.
1.1.5    Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.
(a)Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Agent shall have notified Administrative Borrower in writing 5 Business Days prior thereto that the rights of Loan Parties under this Section 1.1.5 are being suspended:
(i)    Each Loan Party shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii)    Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Loan Party, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Loan Party, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Loan Party may reasonably request in writing for the purpose of enabling such Loan Party to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(iii)    Each Loan Party shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions hereof, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law; provided, that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Loan Party, shall not be commingled by such Loan Party with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to Agent (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall promptly deliver to each Loan Party any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after Agent shall have notified Administrative Borrower in writing and within 5 Business Days of the suspension of the rights of Loan Parties under Section 1.1.5(a)(iii) hereof, then all rights of any Loan Party to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Loan Party is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 1.1.5(a)(iii) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions, subject to the rights of the Term Agent under the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Loan Party contrary to the provisions of this Section 1.1.5 shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Loan Party and shall be forthwith delivered to Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by Agent in an account to be established by Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Agreement. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and, other than in the case of a waiver of which Agent is aware, Administrative Borrower has delivered to Agent a certificate to such effect, Agent shall promptly repay to each Loan Party (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Loan Party would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1.5(a)(iii) hereof in the absence of an Event of Default and that remain in such account.
(c)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after Agent shall have notified Administrative Borrower in writing and within 5 Business Days of the suspension of the rights of Loan Parties under Section 1.1.5(a)(iii) hereof, then all rights of any Loan Party to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 1.1.5(a)(i) hereof, and the obligations of Agent under Section 1.1.5(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become, subject to the rights of the Term Agent under the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement, vested in Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided, that, unless otherwise directed by Required Lenders, Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit Loan Parties to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and, other than in the case of a waiver of which Agent is aware, Administrative Borrower has delivered to Agent a certificate to such effect, each Loan Party shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Loan Party would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1.5(a)(i) hereof, and the obligations of Agent under Section 1.1.5(a)(ii) hereof shall be reinstated.
(d)    Any notice given by Agent to Administrative Borrower suspending the rights of Loan Parties under Section 1.1.5(a) hereof (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of Loan Parties at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of Loan Parties under Section 1.1.5(a)(i) or (iii) hereof in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.1.5(a), (b) or (c) hereof, if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not be required to give any notice referred to in said Section in order to exercise any of its rights described in such Section, and the suspension of the rights of each Loan Party under each such Section shall be automatic upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event of Default.
1.1.6    Agent Not a Partner or Limited Liability Company Member. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Equity consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among Agent, any other Secured Party, any Loan Party and/or any other Person.
1.2    Security Interests in Personal Property.
1.2.1     Each Loan Party hereby further authorizes Agent to file a Grant of Security Interest substantially in the form of Exhibit E, F, or G, as applicable, covering Intellectual Property Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office), as applicable, and such other documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by such Loan Party hereunder, without the signature of such Loan Party, and naming such Loan Party, as debtor, and Agent, as secured party.
1.2.2    Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Loan Parties, to Agent and the Secured Parties that as of the Closing Date:
(a)    Each Loan Party has good and valid rights (not subject to any Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 10.2.1) and/or good and marketable title in the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder (which rights and/or title, are in any event, sufficient under Section 9-203 of the UCC), and has full power and authority to grant to Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.
(b)    A Perfection Certificate has been duly executed and delivered to Agent and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Loan Party and its jurisdiction of organization, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date. The UCC financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) prepared by Agent based upon the information provided to Agent in the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the applicable Loan Party to Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 10.1.11), are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than any filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property and any filing required to be made by notating a lien on any certificate of title) that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration with respect to such Article 9 Collateral is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under Applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date, fully executed Grants of Security Interest in the form attached as Exhibit E, F, or G, as applicable, containing a description of all Intellectual Property Collateral consisting of Patents (other than any Patents that are not material to the operation of the business of the Loan Parties taken as a whole or do not otherwise have significant value), registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which registration applications are pending) (other than any Trademarks or Trademark registrations that are not material to the operation of the business of Grantors, taken as a whole or do not otherwise have significant value) or registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which registration applications are pending) (other than with respect to any Copyright that is not material to the operation of the business of Loan Parties, taken as a whole or do not otherwise have significant value), as applicable, have been delivered to Agent for recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder.
(c)    The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 1.2.2(b) hereof, a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the UCC, (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral (other than with respect to any Copyright that is not material to the business of Loan Parties taken as a whole) in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of the relevant Grants of Security Interest with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261 or 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or the one month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205 and (iv) subject to the notations of lien described in Section 1.2.2(b) hereof, a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral covered by a certificate of title.

(d)    No Loan Party has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the UCC or any other Applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Loan Party assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, or (iii) any assignment in which any Loan Party assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1.
(e)    All Commercial Tort Claims of each Loan Party where the amount of damages claimed by such Loan Party is equal to or in excess of $5,000,000 in existence on the Closing Date of this Agreement (or on the date upon which such Loan Party becomes a party to this Agreement) are described on Schedule 7.1(c) to the Agreement.
1.2.3    Covenants.
(a)    Administrative Borrower agrees to promptly (and in any event within 30 calendar days thereafter) notify Agent of any change (i) in the legal name of any Loan Party, (ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Loan Party, (iii) in the jurisdiction of organization of any Loan Party, (iv) in the Location of any Loan Party or (v) in the organizational identification number of any Loan Party. Loan Parties agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings, publications and registrations have been made (or will be made in a timely fashion) under the UCC or any other Applicable Law that are required in order for Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and first-priority (subject only to (i) any nonconsensual Lien that is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1 and has priority as a matter of law and (ii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1 (other than Liens securing Debt permitted under Section 10.2.3(o) and any Permitted Refinancing to the extent set forth in the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement).) perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral. In addition, if any Loan Party does not have an organizational identification number on the Closing Date (or the date such Loan Party becomes a party to this Agreement) and later obtains one, Administrative Borrower shall promptly thereafter notify Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interests (and the priority thereof) of Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.
(b)    Subject to Section 1.2.3(h) hereof, each Loan Party shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any known Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1.
(c)    Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 10.1.1, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to Sections 1(a), 1(e), 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 2(e), 2(g), 5, 6, 7 and 12 of the Perfection Certificate or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 1.2.3(c).
(d)    Subject to Section 1.2.3(h) hereof and any other limitations on creation, perfection or protection of the Agent’s security interest set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, each Loan Party agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents with respect to Collateral and take all such actions as Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. Each Loan Party will, at its own expense, promptly make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to Agent from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its then owned Tractor Trailers and Rolling Stock (including certificate of title numbers and jurisdictions of registration of each such Tractor Trailer and Rolling Stock), documents of title, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps and actions relating to such Tractor Trailers, Rolling Stock and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted necessary to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in such Tractor Trailers, Rolling Stock and other property or rights. Each Loan Party agrees to execute all documentation reasonably required to effect such recordations and to cause the notation of lien and filing of relevant certificates of title with the appropriate state governmental agency. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral (other than by a Loan Party) that equals or exceeds $5,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any Promissory Note or Instrument, such Promissory Note or Instrument shall be, concurrently with the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1.2 of the Agreement thereafter pledged delivered to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or Term Agent so long as the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement is in effect), duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(e)    At its option, Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.1, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Loan Party fails to do so as required by this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after Agent has requested that it do so, and each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to reimburse Agent within 10 days after written demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by Agent pursuant to the written foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Loan Party from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Loan Party with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f)    If at any time any Loan Party shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which equals or exceeds $1,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Loan Party shall, concurrently with the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.2.1 of the Agreement thereafter, collaterally assign such security interest to Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.
(g)    Each Loan Party (rather than Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance, to the extent of, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in, the Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.4 thereof.
(h)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Loan Party shall be required: (i) other than in respect of Pledged Collateral constituting Certificated Securities of wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries directly owned by any Loan Party and Dominion Accounts (subject to the provisions of Section 8.3.1), to perfect the security interests hereunder through “control”, (ii) to complete any filings or other action with respect to the perfection of the security interests, including of any Intellectual Property, created hereby in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or any State thereof, (iii) to perfect by possession of any intercompany notes evidencing an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, (iv) to perfect by possession of Promissory Notes or any other Instruments evidencing an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $5,000,000, and (iv) to take any actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. (including the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary) or to perfect any security interest in such assets, including any Intellectual Property registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction).
1.3    Special Provisions Concerning Intellectual Property Collateral.     
1.3.1    Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Agreement or any other rights of Agent as the holder of a Security Interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral, for the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of rent, royalty or other compensation to Loan Parties) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party, and wherever the same may be located (whether or not any license agreement by and between any Loan Party and any other Person relating to the use of such Intellectual Property Collateral may be terminated hereafter), and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided, however, that any license granted by Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence, validity, and value of the affected Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, protecting Trademarks in the manner set forth below (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or Applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property Collateral above and beyond (x) the rights to such Intellectual Property Collateral that each Loan Party has reserved for itself and (y) in the case of Intellectual Property Collateral that is licensed to any such Loan Party by a third party, the extent to which such Loan Party has the right to grant a sublicense to such Intellectual Property Collateral hereunder). The use of such license by Agent may only be exercised, at the option of Agent, during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon Loan Parties notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. In the event the license set forth in this Section 1.3.1 is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the following shall apply: (i) all goodwill arising from any licensed or sublicensed use of any Trademark shall inure to the benefit of Loan Party; (ii) the licensed or sublicensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by Loan Party prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein; and (iii) at Loan Party's request and expense, licensees and sublicensees shall provide reasonable cooperation in any effort by Loan Party to maintain the registration or otherwise secure the ongoing validity and effectiveness of such licensed Trademarks, including, without limitation the actions and conduct described in Section 1.3.2 below. The license granted to Agent herein shall be inapplicable to any Commercial Software License that constitutes Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent the applicable Loan Party is prohibited by written agreement from granting a license in such Commercial Software License to Agent, except to the extent such prohibition is ineffective (or deemed ineffective) under the UCC or other Applicable Law.
1.3.2    Protection of Agent’s Security.
(a)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 1.3.2(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral for which such Loan Party has standing to do so, each Loan Party agrees to take, at its expense, all steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other Governmental Authority located in the United States to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Loan Party, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the USPTO, the USCO or other Governmental Authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.
(b)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 1.3.2(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, lose its competitive value).
(c)    Except to the extent permitted by subsection 1.3.2(f) below, or to the extent that failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party shall take all steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.
(d)    Each Loan Party agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral after the Closing Date (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such after-acquired Intellectual Property Collateral and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.
(e)    Concurrently with the delivery of a Compliance Certificate for each fiscal quarter, each Loan Party shall sign and deliver to Agent a security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and related Grant of Security Interest with respect to applications for registration or registrations of Intellectual Property Collateral (other than with respect to any Copyright that is not material to the business of Loan Parties, taken as a whole) owned or exclusively licensed by it as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, to the extent that such Intellectual Property Collateral is not covered by any previous such security agreement (and Grant of Security Interests) so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it will promptly cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with the USCO or the USPTO, as appropriate.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Loan Party from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any or its Intellectual Property Collateral, the enforcement of license agreements or the pursuit of actions against infringers, to the extent permitted herein if such Loan Party determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.
(g)    Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall, if requested by Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each License to effect the assignment of all such Loan Party’s right, title and interest thereunder to Agent or its designee.
1.4    Conflicts.

Agent and each Lender hereby agrees that the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Schedule are subject to the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations (as defined in the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Agreement to deliver possession, control or notations of Collateral to Agent shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery of possession, control or notation of such Collateral to a representative of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement) and as bailee for the Collateral Agent as provided in the Term Debt Intercreditor Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.29
GENERAL RELEASE AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT


This General Release and Separation Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and between YRC Worldwide Inc., YRC Inc. ("YRC Freight") and any and all of their affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, predecessors, and successors (individually and collectively, "YRC" or "Company" or "Employer"), and Jeffrey A. Rogers ("Employee").

RECITALS
WHEREAS, YRC employed Employee as President of YRC Freight ("Employment"); WHEREAS, YRC has decided to terminate Employee's employment on September 20,
2013 (the "Termination Date");

WHEREAS, Employee and YRC wish to enter into this Agreement to resolve any and all existing and potential claims between the parties arising out of Employee's employment with and separation of employment with YRC.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and undertakings in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, YRC and Employee agree as follows:

1.Employee's Release of Claims. Employee hereby agrees, on behalf of Employee and Employee's spouse, heirs, administrators, executors and assigns, to release and forever discharge YRC and its divisions, affiliates, related companies, predecessors, successors, partners, members, directors, officers, trustees and employees, independent contractors, consultants, stockholders, owners, attorneys, agents, benefit plans, subrogees, insurers, representatives and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all suits, claims, demands, and causes of action of any nature or kind whatsoever, which Employee now has or ever had, up to the date of this Agreement (the "Release of Claims"). This Release of Claims includes, without limitation, any suits, claims, demands, or causes of action under federal, state or local laws, regulations, executive orders, common law or other source concerning civil rights, employment discrimination, employee benefits, wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, promissory estoppel, defamation, emotional distress, whistleblower claims, tort, attorneys' fees or any claims which may have arisen in connection with Employee's employment with YRC or the cessation thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Release of Claims includes any claim Employee may have up to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 621, et seq. and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.





Employee is not waiving any rights that cannot be waived by law. The Release of Claims does not preclude Employee from exercising Employee's rights or remedies under this Agreement. The Release of Claims does not limit Employee's right to participate in any proceedings before an administrative agency responsible for enforcing labor and/or employment laws, e.g., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but it does waive Employee's right to receive any monetary awards against the Released Parties arising from such proceedings.





2.Older Workers Benefit Protection Act. Employee is hereby advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement and has been given at least twenty-one (21) calendar days from the receipt of this Agreement to consider this Agreement before signing it; provided that in the event Employee signs and returns this Agreement before the end of the twenty-one (21)-day period, he acknowledges that the actual time he has taken for such contemplation/consideration purposes was adequate for all appropriate consultations, contemplations, etc. In no event shall such Release of Claims (and this Agreement) be returned to YRC later than twenty-one (21) days after Employee's Receipt Date (as defined below in Section 3(a)). The parties agree that this Agreement shall not become effective until seven (7) calendar days after Employee signs it. Employee may, within seven (7) calendar days after he signs this Agreement, revoke this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to YRC, in which case he will forfeit all rights and payments under this Agreement. Any revocation notice must be received by Executive Vice President and General Counsel, YRC Worldwide Inc., 10990 Roe Avenue, Overland Park, KS 66211 within the seven (7)-calendar-day revocation period.

3.Severance Payment, Benefits and Other Matters.    In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

a.Receipt of Agreement; Termination Date.    Employee acknowledges receipt of this Agreement on September 20, 2013 (the "Receipt Date") and acknowledges his separation from service with YRC on the Termination Date ( i.e., September 20, 2013).

b.Severance Payment. In consideration for Employee's obligations under this Agreement (including the Release of Claims under Section 1) and after Employee's seven
(7) calendar day revocation period has expired without Employee exercising his right to revoke this Agreement, for twelve (12) months following Employee's Termination Date (the "Severance Period"), Employee will be paid periodic installments totaling $485,000 gross, minus payroll deductions for (i) taxes and (ii) active-employee premiums for health insurance under Section 3(c), below (the "Severance Payments"). In the event of Employee's death following the commencement of payments, the remaining balance of payments, if any, will be paid in a single lump sum payment (minus appropriate withholdings) to Employee's estate as soon as practicable following his death. During the Severance Period, the installment payments will be determined and paid to the Employee at the same time and in the same manner as YRC normally makes payroll payments to employees. Employee also is eligible for outplacement services to be provided by YRC during the Severance Period (up to a value of $10,000).

c.Group Health Insurance Benefits and COBRA Eligibility.    During the Severance Period, Employee will also be entitled to receive (should he so timely and appropriately elect) the COBRA continuation coverage he would otherwise be entitled to, but available at the rate payable by active employees of YRC (rather than payable at the standard premium rate of up to 102% of cost established for COBRA continuation coverage) until the earliest of (i) the end of the Severance Period, (ii) the date Employee becomes entitled to employer-provided health plan coverage following new employment, regardless of whether or not Employee elects




the such other employer-provided health plan coverage or (ii) the date as of which the applicable COBRA continuation of coverage period otherwise expires. Any continuation of coverage at the active employee rate under the preceding sentence will not extend, and will be counted against, the otherwise applicable duration of COBRA continuation coverage. If Employee elects to continue the COBRA continuation coverage for the period(s), if





any, that remain(s) following the expiration of the coverage made available under this Agreement at the active employee rate, the required payment for such period(s) shall be at the standard COBRA rate established for COBRA eligible participants. Employee's payment of the premium for these benefits shall be on an after-tax basis. Employee also is required to notify YRC in writing of the availability of other employer-provided coverage. Employee's failure to provide this notice will result in a discontinuation of all future severance benefits pursuant to this Agreement (including Severance Payments, outplacement and health insurance benefits outlined in this Section 3). In all cases, the official plan document shall govern over any other verbal or written statement in regards to COBRA continuation and/or or conversion privileges, if any.
d.Other Benefits. Employee's participation as an active employee in YRC benefits, including pension, 401(k), core retirement, disability, perquisite, employee assistance, equity participation and other plans, shall cease upon the Termination Date. Except for the amount made available under Section 3(b), above, Employee acknowledges and agrees that he is not entitled to any severance pay or payment under or through any YRC plan, policy or program. YRC acknowledges and agrees that, following the Termination Date: (i) Employee's rights to retirement benefits, to the extent vested, under any YRC pension or 40l(k) plan shall be governed by the respective plan documents governing any such plan; and (ii) Employee's ability to remain covered any YRC medical/health plan shall be as required under the COBRA continuation of coverage requirements as more fully described in Section 3(c), above.

e.Equity Awards. Any stock options or units or shares of restricted stock granted to Employee will be governed by their respective stock option agreement, share unit agreement, or restricted stock agreement.

f.Adequate Consideration.    Employee acknowledges    and accepts the payments and other consideration under this Agreement, as full, final and complete satisfaction of any and all claims or sums, which are now and might hereafter become due and owing to Employee for services rendered by Employee to YRC and for Employee's Release of Claims. Employee understands and agrees that Employee is not entitled to Severance Payments or active­ employee- premium for health insurance benefits continuation, absent Employee's execution and non-revocation of this Agreement.

g.Tax Reporting. YRC shall report all income and deduct and withhold all federal, state, local, and employment taxes required by applicable law with respect to any payments and benefits made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise as a resigning employee (e.g., PTO); and Employee shall be responsible for the payment of all applicable taxes on any payments and benefits made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

h.General Acknowledgement of Medicare Interests. Employee declares and expressly warrants that he/she is not Medicare eligible, that he/she is not a Medicare beneficiary, that he/she is not within thirty (30) months of becoming Medicare eligible; that he/she is not 65 years of age or older; that he/she is not suffering from end stage renal failure or amyotrophic lateral




sclerosis; that he/she has not received Social Security benefits for twenty-four (24) months or longer; and/or that he/she has not applied for Social Security benefits, and/or has not been denied Social Security disability benefits and is appealing the denial. Employee affirms, covenants, and warrants he/she has made no claim for illness or injury against, nor is he/she aware of any facts reporting any claim against, Released Parties under which the Released Parties could be liable for medical expenses incurred by Employee before or after the execution





of this Agreement. As Employee is not a Medicare recipient as of the date of this Agreement, Employee is aware of no medical expenses that Medicare has paid and for which the Released Parties are or could be liable now or in the future. Employee agrees and affirms that, to the best of his/her knowledge, no liens of any governmental entities, including those for Medicare conditional payments, exist.

The parties have not shifted responsibility for medical treatment to Medicare in contravention of 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b). The parties made every effort to adequately protect Medicare's interest and incorporate such into the severance terms, and to comply with both federal and state law. The parties acknowledge and understand that any present or future action or decision by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or Medicare on this Agreement, or Employee's eligibility or entitlement to Medicare or Medicare payments, will not render this Agreement void or ineffective, or in anyway affect the finality of this Agreement. Employee represents and agrees that he/she will indemnify, defend and hold Employer harmless from any and all claims, liens, Medicare conditional payments and rights to payment, known or unknown, arising from any and all charges for medical treatment Employee has received or will receive in the future. If any governmental entity, or anyone acting on behalf of any governmental entity, seeks reimbursement or damages (including multiple damages) from Released Parties relating to Employee's alleged past or future medical expenses, injuries, or claims, Employee will defend and indemnify Released Parties, and hold Released Parties harmless from any and all such damages (including multiple damages), claims, liens, Medicare conditional payments and rights to payment, including any attorneys' fees and costs sought by such entities. Employee agrees to waive any and all private causes of action for damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(3)(A) et seq.

Employee agrees that all works of authorship created by Employee during Employee's engagement by the Employer or the Company shall be works made for hire of which the Company and its Affiliates are the author and owner of copyright.

In addition, YRC shall be entitled to recover

In addition to the annual grant described in the preceding sentence, the Board (or at its discretion, the Compensation Committee) may make such additional grants from time-to-time upon whatever terms it deems appropriate.
(c)
Vesting. One-third (1/3) of the RSUs will vest (i.e., no longer be subject to risk of forfeiture) on the last day of the Board term in which the Grant Date occurs (“First Vesting Date”), and one-third (1/3)

2




of the RSUs will vest on the 1st and 2nd anniversaries of the First Vesting Date, or such other vesting dates as may be designated by the Compensation Committee and described in the RSU agreement.
(i)
Forfeiture. If a Participant resigns prior to the end of his/her full term with the Board, fails to stand for re-election to the Board at the end of his/her full term, stands for re-election to the Board but is not re-elected by the shareholders, or is involuntarily removed from the Board, the Participant's non-vested RSUs shall be forfeited on the date of the Participant's resignation, involuntary removal or the Board meeting where the Participant fails to stand for re-election or is not re-elected to the Board (unless the Board determines otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies or is deemed "Disabled" (as defined below), or if a "Change in Control" (as defined below) occurs, the provisions below shall control.
(ii)
Death and Disability. If a Participant dies or is "Disabled" (as defined herein) while serving as a director of the Company, the Participant's non-vested RSUs shall become vested on the date of the Participant's death or the date the Participant is deemed Disabled. For purposes of this Section 5, the Participant shall be considered "Disabled" if the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The existence of a Disability shall be evidenced by such medical certification as the Secretary of the Company shall require and as the Committee approves.
(iii)
Change in Control of the Company. If a "Change in Control" of the Company occurs while the Participant is serving as a director of the Company, the Participant's non-vested RSUs shall become vested on the date of the Change in Control. For the purposes of this Section 5, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have taken place if:
(A)
a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), purchases or otherwise acquires shares of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company;
(B)
a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act purchases or otherwise acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) shares of the Company and as a result thereof becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having 35 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or
(C)
as the result of or in connection with any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, a majority of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the Board before the date of such appointment or election.

(d)
Deferral Elections. Pursuant to a written election (a “Deferral Election”), a Participant may defer delivery of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, in accordance with this Section 5 and the rules prescribed by the Compensation Committee. The Company (or its designee) shall maintain an account for each Participant to record any Deferral Election made with respect to RSUs. All Deferral Elections must be delivered to the Secretary.
(i)
Initial Deferral Election. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, a Deferral Election with respect to RSUs must be made not later than the close of the Participant's taxable year immediately preceding the service year for which the RSUs are granted as compensation (or such other time as permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder ("Section 409A")). For example, a Deferral Election for any RSUs granted in 2014 or later as compensation for services rendered in 2014, must be made no later than December 31, 2013. A Participant's Deferral Election may be changed at any time prior to the last permissible date for making the Deferral Election, and shall thereafter be irrevocable. A form of the Deferral Election is included in Exhibit B.
(ii)
First Year of Eligibility. In the case of the first year in which a director becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the director may make an initial Deferral Election within 30 days after the director first becomes eligible to participate. Such election shall only apply with respect to RSUs relating to services performed after the election. Whether a Participant is treated as newly eligible for participation under this Plan shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A, including: (i) rules that treat all elective deferral account balance plans as one plan, and (ii) rules that treat a previously eligible director as newly eligible if his benefits had been previously distributed or if he has been ineligible for 24 months.
(iii)
Special Thirteen Month Election. If the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are deliverable in a year subsequent to the Grant Date and are subject to a condition requiring the Participant to continue to provide services for a period of at least twelve (12) months from the Grant Date to avoid forfeiture of the RSUs, a Deferral Election may be made on or before the 30th day after the Grant Date, provided that such Deferral Election is made at least twelve (12) months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse. For purposes of this paragraph, a condition will not be treated as failing to require the Participant to continue to provide services for a period of at least 12 months from the Grant Date merely because the condition immediately lapses upon the death or Disability of the Participant, or upon a Change in Control that constitutes an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, provided that if death, Disability, or such Change in Control occurs and the condition lapses before the end of such 12-month period, a Deferral Election may be given effect only if the Deferral Election is permitted under this Section without regard to this paragraph. A form of the Special Thirteen Month Director Equity Deferral Election is included in Exhibit C.
(iv)
Evergreen Election. A Participant may elect that his/her Deferral Election for an upcoming year will continue in effect for subsequent years until modified by the Participant (an "Evergreen Election"). If a Participant makes an Evergreen Election, the Participant may unilaterally modify such Deferral Election (either to terminate, increase or decrease the portion of his future RSUs which are subject to deferral) by providing a written modification

4




of the Deferral Election to the Secretary. The modification shall become effective as of the first day of January following the date such written modification is received by the Secretary or sooner if permitted under the special thirteen month election.
(v)
Subsequent Deferral Election. A Participant shall be entitled to delay the delivery of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs pursuant to his initial Deferral Election (a "Subsequent Deferral Election") provided: (1) the Subsequent Deferral Election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the Subsequent Deferral Election is made, (2) if the Subsequent Deferral Election relates to a payment event other than the death or Disability of the Participant, the Subsequent Deferral Election defers payment for a period of at least five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made but for such Subsequent Deferral Election, and (3) if the Subsequent Deferral Election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the Subsequent Deferral Election is made not less than 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.
(e)
Delivery of Shares. The Company shall deliver one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU, as described below:
(i)
RSUs Not Deferred. If the Participant does not timely elect to defer delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs pursuant to a Deferral Election on file with the Company's Secretary, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU within 90 days following the applicable vesting date.
(ii)
RSUs Deferred. If a Participant timely elects to defer delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs pursuant to a Deferral Election on file with the Company's Secretary, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU for which a Deferral Election has been made, on the earlier of the Participant's separation from service with the Board, death, Disability, Change in Control, or date specified by the Participant in his/her Deferral Election (each a "Payment Event"). Actual delivery of the shares shall be made within 90 days of the Payment Event, if such Payment Event is a separation from service with the Board, death, Disability, or a specified date elected by the Participant. Upon a Change in Control, delivery of the shares shall occur on the date of the Change in Control.
(iii)
Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's RSUs are not exempt from Section 409A the Company shall not deliver shares of Common Stock upon a Change in Control, unless the Change in Control also constitutes an event described in Section 409A (a)(2)(A)(v) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(f)
Dividend Equivalents. If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Common Stock, the Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account established for each Participant an amount equal to the cash value of the dividend that would have been paid to the Participant if each RSU (whether vested or unvested) was a share of Common Stock held by the Participant ("Dividend Equivalents"). No interest or other additions shall be earned on amounts credited to such Dividend Equivalent account. Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at the same time as the delivery date of the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs to which the accrued Dividend Equivalents relate. Any Dividend Equivalents relating to any forfeited RSUs shall be forfeited.

5




(g)
Beneficiary. If a Participant dies, the Company shall pay any amounts deferred under this Plan to the beneficiary or beneficiaries, if any, that the Participant designates to the Secretary in writing during the Participant's lifetime. During his/her lifetime, the Participant may revoke or change any designation of beneficiary by delivering the revocation or designation in writing to the Secretary. If no beneficiary is designated or survives the Participant, then the accounts shall be issued and paid to the Participant's surviving spouse (or, if none, personal representative).
(h)
Unfunded. The Participant understands that all deferrals hereunder (i.e., the balance of his/her accounts) are unfunded, will be represented by appropriate bookkeeping entries and any such amounts due the Participant shall be unsecured, general obligations of the Company.
(i)
409A. This Section 5 and any Equity Award agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, executives, or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by a Participant as a result of the application of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Equity Award agreement to the contrary, all payments and benefits under this Plan that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A and that would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Participant's separation from service on the Board, will not be payable or distributable to the Participant unless the circumstances giving rise to such separation from service meet any description or definition of “separation from service” in Section 409A (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “separation from service.”
6.
GENERAL
(a)
Except by the laws of descent and distribution if a Participant dies, the rights and benefits of this Plan may not be assigned or otherwise transferred. A Participant shall cease to be a Participant under this Plan upon the Participant's termination of his/her directorship with the Company whether by death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal.
(b)
Any notice to the Company that this Plan requires shall be in writing, addressed to the Secretary and be effective when the Secretary receives the notice.
(c)
This Plan and any determination or action taken respecting this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its law of conflicts of law.

The actual date of grant shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. One-third (1/3) of the RSUs will be vested on the grant date and the remaining RSUs will vest pro rata on the 1st and 2nd anniversaries of the date of grant.
