This SENIOR SECURED, PRIMING AND SUPERPRIORITY DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of July 17, 2008 and entered into by and among Vertis, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a debtor and debtor in possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) (“Vertis” or the “Borrower”), Vertis Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a debtor and debtor in possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Holdings”), certain subsidiaries of Borrower, each a debtor and debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as Guarantors, the other persons designated as “Credit Parties” (as defined in Annex A hereto), the financial institutions who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as Lenders (the “Lenders” and each a “Lender”), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (in its individual capacity “GE Capital”), as Agent and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Documentation Agent.

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, on July 15, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), the Borrower and the Guarantors commenced prepackaged Chapter 11 Case Nos. 08-11460 through 08-11466, as administratively consolidated at Chapter 11 Case No. 08-11460 (each a “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case” and collectively, the “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases”) by filing separate voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Borrower continues to operate its businesses and manage its properties as a debtor and debtor in possession pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

WHEREAS, prior to the Petition Date, certain lenders provided financing to Borrower pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2004 among the Borrower, the other credit parties signatory thereto, GE Capital, as agent and lender, and the lenders from time to time signatory thereto (as amended, modified or supplemented through the Petition Date, the “Pre-Petition Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that Lenders provide a senior secured, superpriority revolving and term debtor-in-possession credit facility to Borrower of $380,000,000 in the aggregate to be used for the purposes set forth in Section 3.6;

WHEREAS, Borrower desires to secure all of its Obligations (as hereinafter defined) under the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of their personal and real property; and

WHEREAS, Holdings, which owns all of the Stock of Vertis, is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations and to pledge to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of the Stock of Vertis and Holdings’ other Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined)), and substantially all of its other personal and real property to secure the Obligations; and

WHEREAS, each of Borrower’s Subsidiaries, other than Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations of Borrower and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its personal and real property to secure the Obligations; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrower, Credit Parties, Lenders and Agent agree as follows:

SECTION 1.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOANS

1.1. Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Credit Parties contained herein:

(a) Revolving Loans.

(i) Each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make available to Borrower from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each a “Revolving Credit Advance”) requested by the Borrower hereunder. The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving Lender (including, without duplication, Swing Line Loan) shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment. Revolving Credit Advances may be repaid and reborrowed; provided, that the amount of any Revolving Credit Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed Borrowing Availability. Borrowing Availability may be further reduced by Reserves imposed by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. The Revolving Loan shall be repaid in full in cash on the Commitment Termination Date. Borrower shall, except as any such Revolving Lender may elect pursuant to Section 1.7, execute and deliver to each Revolving Lender a note to evidence the total Revolving Loan Commitment of that Revolving Lender. Each note shall be in the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the applicable Revolving Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i) (as amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time, each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”). Other than pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(ii), if the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loan exceeds the Borrowing Base as set forth in the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate or the total aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment of all Lenders (any such excess amount of Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “Overadvance”), Lenders shall not be obligated to make Revolving Credit Advances, no additional Letters of Credit shall be issued and, except as provided in Section 1.1(a)(ii) below, the Revolving Loan must be repaid immediately and/or Letters of Credit cash collateralized in an amount sufficient to eliminate any Overadvance. For the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall the Revolving Loan balance exceed the Maximum Amount and, if at any time the Revolving Loan balance shall exceed the Maximum Amount, Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess. All Overadvances shall constitute Index Rate Loans and shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate. For funding requests for

2 Revolving Credit Advances to be funded as Index Rate Loans of less than $5,000,000, written notice must be provided by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day on which the Revolving Credit Advance is to be made. For funding requests of Revolving Credit Advances to be funded as Index Rate Loans of $5,000,000 or greater, written notice must be provided by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the Revolving Credit Advance is to be made. All Revolving Credit Advances to be funded as LIBOR Loans require three (3) Business Days prior written notice. Written notices for funding requests shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1.1(a)(ii) (“Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”). Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount.

(ii) If Borrower requests that Revolving Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding an Overadvance, Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such Overadvance; provided, however, that Agent may not cause Revolving Lenders to make, or permit to remain outstanding, (a) a Revolving Loan balance in excess of the Maximum Amount or (b) an Overadvance in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000. If an Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all Revolving Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvance based upon their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) At Borrower’s option, Borrowing Availability may be increased by an amount up to $20 million in excess of the Borrowing Base (the “Seasonal DIP Overadvance Facility”) if Borrower requests, no earlier than July 1, 2008 and no later than July 31, 2008 (the “Seasonal DIP Overadvance Period”), the ability to use the Seasonal DIP Overadvance Facility; provided, however, that the Seasonal DIP Overadvance Facility shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions: (i) at no time shall the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan (including, without limitation, the Seasonal DIP Overadvance Facility) exceed $130 million (or the then existing maximum committed or court-approved amount of the Revolving Loan, whichever is lesser); (ii) requests for Advances under the Seasonal DIP Overadvance Facility (“Seasonal DIP Overadvances”) shall be honored only until the end of the Seasonal DIP Overadvance Period; and (iii) and all outstanding Seasonal DIP Overadvances (including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon) shall be due, payable and paid in full in cash upon, the earlier of (a) the Commitment Termination Date, or (b) October 15, 2008. In any event, Agent will retain the right in its reasonable credit judgment from time to time to establish or modify, with respect to the Borrowing Base, additional reserves against availability, including, without limitation, reserves in respect of any adequate protection payments required under the Interim Order and the Final Order with respect to interest accrued prior to the commencement of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, carve-outs for professionals and standards of eligibility. If a Seasonal DIP Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to this Section 1.1(a)(iii), then all Revolving Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Seasonal DIP Overadvance based upon their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Swing Line Facility.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make available at any time and from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date advances (each, a “Swing Line Advance”). The provisions of this Section 1.1(b) shall not relieve Revolving Lenders of their obligations to make Revolving Credit Advances under Section 1.1(a). Except as provided in Section 1.1(a)(ii) above, the aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (A) the Swing Line Commitment and (B) Borrowing Availability (“Swing Line Availability”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(b). Whenever Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Advance hereunder, Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender, not later than 3:30 p.m. (New York time), on the date that a Swing Line Advance is to be made, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swing Line Advance to be made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify (A) the date of borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Advance to be made pursuant to such borrowing. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice from Requisite Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Advance, and to have each Revolving Lender make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(iv). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Swing Line Loan shall constitute an Index Rate Loan. Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan upon demand therefor by Agent. The entire unpaid balance of the Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations (other than as set forth in Section 1.5) shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.

(ii) Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b) (as amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Advances made to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.2.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion but no less frequently than once weekly, may on behalf of Borrower (and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Credit Advance to Borrower (which shall be an Index Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, each Revolving Lender shall disburse directly to Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on

4 behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that notice is given. The proceeds of those Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.

(iv) Intentionally Omitted.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Revolving Lender the amounts required pursuant to Sections 1.1.(b)(iii). If any Revolving Lender does not make available such amounts to Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover, on demand, such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter.

(c) Letters of Credit. The Revolving Loan Commitment may, in addition to advances under the Revolving Loan, be utilized (subject to the limitations imposed by Section 1.1(a)), upon the request of the Borrower to Agent, for the issuance of Letters of Credit, which shall be issued in Dollars, on behalf of Borrower. Immediately upon the issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit, and without further action on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit (or in its obligation under a risk participation agreement with respect thereto) equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.

(i) Maximum Amount. The aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding or unreimbursed at any time shall not exceed $45,000,000 (“L/C Sublimit”).

(ii) Reimbursement. Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, to reimburse any L/C Issuer on demand in immediately available funds for any amounts paid by such L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit, including all reimbursement payments, Fees, Charges, costs and expenses paid by such L/C Issuer. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Agent, at Agent’s option, to debit Borrower’s accounts (by increasing the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances or Swing Line Advances made to Borrower, as applicable) in the amount of any payment made by an L/C Issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit. All amounts paid by an L/C Issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit that are not immediately repaid by Borrower with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance, Swing Line Advance or otherwise shall bear interest payable on demand at the interest rate

5 applicable to Revolving Credit Advances that are Index Rate Loans plus, at the election of Agent or Requisite Lenders, an additional two percent (2.00%) per annum. Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(ii). In the event Agent elects not to debit Borrower’s account and Borrower fails to reimburse the L/C Issuer in full on the date of any payment in respect of a Letter of Credit, Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of such unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest thereon and each Revolving Lender, on the next Business Day prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), shall deliver to Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof in same day funds. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer upon demand by the L/C Issuer such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of a Letter of Credit and not immediately reimbursed by Borrower or satisfied through a debit of Borrower’s account. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this subsection in respect of Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including setoff, counterclaim, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any failure by Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2. If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the L/C Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the L/C Issuer in respect of a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 1.1(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the Index Rate.

(iii) Request for Letters of Credit. Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice specifying the date a Letter of Credit is requested to be issued, the amount and the name and address of the beneficiary and a description of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby, and the expiry date (or extended expiry date) of the Letter of Credit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be in the form of Exhibit 1.1(c). If Agent informs Borrower that the L/C Issuer cannot issue the requested Letter of Credit directly, Borrower may request that L/C Issuer arrange for the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit under a risk participation agreement with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent, L/C Issuer and Borrower. The issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 and the conditions that the Letter of Credit (i) supports a transaction benefiting the Credit Parties (other than Holdings) or their wholly-owned Subsidiaries and (ii) is in a form, is for an amount and contains such terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and, in the case of standby letters of credit, Agent. The initial notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit and the Master Standby Agreement or Master Documentary Agreement, as applicable, and an application for a letter of credit, if any, then required by the L/C Issuer completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer. If any provision of any application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of such inconsistency, shall control.

(iv) Expiration Dates of Letters of Credit. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be on a date that is not later than ten days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided, that a Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one (1) or more successive periods of up to twelve (12) months for each period; provided, further, that the L/C Issuer has the right to terminate such Letter of Credit on

6 each such expiration date and no renewal term may extend the term of the Letter of Credit to a date that is later than the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of the term Commitment Termination Date. Upon direction by Agent or Requisite Lenders, the L/C Issuer shall not renew any such Letter of Credit at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided that, in the case of a direction by Agent or Requisite Lenders, the L/C Issuer receives such directions prior to the date notice of non-renewal is required to be given by the L/C Issuer and the L/C Issuer has had a reasonable period of time to act on such notice.

(v) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer, Agent and Lenders for payments made in respect of Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid under all circumstances strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following circumstances: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent or departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person may at any time have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreements or transactions; (d) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (e) payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any L/C Issuer, Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 1.1(c)(v), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed by Borrower that the absolute and unconditional obligation of Borrower to Agent and Lenders hereunder to reimburse payments made under a Letter of Credit will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an L/C Issuer from claims which Borrower may assert against the L/C Issuer subject to the terms of the Master Standby Agreement or the Master Documentary Agreement.

(vi) Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer (other than GE Capital) hereby agrees that it will not issue a Letter of Credit hereunder until it has provided Agent with written notice specifying the amount and intended issuance date of such Letter of Credit. Each L/C Issuer (other than GE Capital) further agrees to provide to Agent: (a) a copy of each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer promptly after its issuance; (b) a weekly report summarizing available amounts under Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, the dates and amounts of any draws under such Letters of Credit, the effective date of any increase or decrease in the face amount of any Letters of Credit during such week and the amount of any unreimbursed draws under such Letters of Credit; and (c) such additional information reasonably requested by Agent from time to time with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

(d) Funding Authorization. The proceeds of all Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement subsequent to the Closing Date are to be funded by Agent by wire transfer to the account designated by Borrower below (the “Disbursement Account”):

Bank: Bank of America, N.A.

ABA No.: 026-009-593

Bank Address: Charlotte, North Carolina

Account No.: 3750357673

Reference: Vertis, Inc.

Borrower shall provide Agent with written notice of any change in the foregoing instructions at least three (3) Business Days before the desired effective date of such change.

(e) Term Loan A. Each Term Loan A Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower in one draw, on the Closing Date, its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of $50,000,000 (the “Term Loan A”). The principal amount of the Term Loan A shall be due and payable in full, in cash in one installment, on the Commitment Termination Date; subject, however, to acceleration upon (or following) the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, or upon earlier termination of this Agreement, as provided for herein. Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1(e) and repaid may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan A shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(e) (as amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time, each a “Term Loan A Note” and, collectively, the “Term Loan A Notes”), and, except as any such Lender may elect pursuant to Section 1.7, the Borrower shall execute and deliver each Term Loan A Note to the applicable Term Loan A Lender. Each Term Loan A Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, together with interest thereon.

Each Term Loan B Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower in one draw, on the Closing Date, its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of $200,000,000 (the “Term Loan B”). The principal amount of the Term Loan B shall be due and payable in full, in cash in one installment, on the Commitment Termination Date; subject, however, to acceleration upon (or following) the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, or upon earlier termination of this Agreement, as provided for herein. Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1(f) and repaid may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan B shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(f) (as amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time, each a “Term Loan B Note” and, collectively, the “Term Loan B Notes”), and, except as any such Lender may elect pursuant to Section 1.7, the Borrower shall execute and deliver each Term Loan B Note to the applicable Term Loan B Lender. Each Term Loan B Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, together with interest thereon.

1.2. Interest and Applicable Margins.

(a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, with respect to the various Loans (other than Letter of Credit Obligations) made by each Lender

8 (or in the case of the Swing Line Loan, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender), in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates with respect to (i) Revolving Credit Advances that are Index Rate Loans, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum, (ii) Revolving Credit Advances that are LIBOR Loans, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum, (iii) the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum, (iv) the Term Loan A, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan A Index Margin per annum, or at the request of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan A LIBOR Margin per annum and (v) the Term Loan B, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan B Index Margin per annum, or at the request of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan B LIBOR Margin per annum.

The Applicable Margins with respect to Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations, whether incurred on or after the date hereof, Term Loan A and Term Loan B are as follows:

Applicable Revolver Index Margin	1.75	%
Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin	2.75	%
Applicable L/C Margin	2.75	%
Applicable Term Loan A Index Margin	4.50	%
Applicable Term Loan A LIBOR Margin	5.50	%
Applicable Term Loan B Index Margin	1.75	%
Applicable Term Loan B LIBOR Margin	3.00	%

(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees and interest are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrower, absent manifest error.

(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 7.1(a) and without notice of any kind, or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower and without further notice, motion or application to, hearing before, or order from the Bankruptcy Court, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit and Unused Line Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fee otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all other outstanding Obligations which are past due shall bear interest at the then applicable Index Rate applicable to such other Obligations plus the Default Rate. Interest, Unused Line Fees and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or

9 waived and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for such Obligation.

(e) Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of the LIBOR Breakage Costs in accordance with Section 1.3(e) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any such election must be made by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance that is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by fax or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.2(e). No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent or Requisite Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan as a result thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.2(a) through (e), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

10 promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 1.5(d) and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

1.3. Fees.

(a) Fee Letter. Borrower shall pay to GE Capital, individually, and GE Capital Markets, Inc. (“GECM”) the Fees specified in that certain fee letter, dated as of July 8, 2008, among Borrower, GE Capital and GECM (the “GE Capital Fee Letter”), at the times specified for payment therein.

(b) Unused Line Fee. As additional compensation for the Revolving Lenders, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each calendar month prior to the Commitment Termination Date, commencing with the first calendar month following the Closing Date and on the Commitment Termination Date, a fee for Borrower’s non-use of available funds in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum multiplied by the difference between (x) the Maximum Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the Revolving Loan (including, without duplication, Swing Line Loans) outstanding during the period for which such Fee is due.

(c) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Revolving Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) without duplication of reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses otherwise payable to Agent or Lenders hereunder, all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each calendar month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, commencing with the first calendar month following the Closing Date, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Margin from time to time in effect multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on the Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to any L/C Issuer, on demand, such fees (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(d) LIBOR Breakage Costs. Upon (i) any default by Borrower in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any LIBOR Loan following Borrower’s delivery to Agent of any LIBOR Loan request in respect thereof or (ii) any payment of a LIBOR Loan on any day that is not the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall pay Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders that funded or were prepared to fund any such LIBOR Loan, LIBOR Breakage Costs, if applicable.

(e) Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses (including, without duplication, reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses of attorneys, auditors, appraisers, consultants and

11 advisors, including, without limitation, any operations consultant and any financial advisor engaged by Agent) incurred by Agent in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of the Loan Documents, in connection with the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated herein and in connection with the continued administration of the Loan Documents including any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers and including any Field Examinations, Non-Real Estate Fixed Asset Appraisals and Real Estate Appraisals; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees, costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any Field Examinations, Non-Real Estate Fixed Asset Appraisals or Real Estate Appraisals conducted within six (6) months following the Closing Date unless an Event of Default shall have occurred. Borrower agrees to promptly pay reasonable documentation charges assessed by Agent for amendments, waivers, consents and any of the documentation prepared by Agent’s internal legal staff. Borrower agrees to promptly pay, without duplication, all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses (including fees, charges, costs and expenses of attorneys, auditors, appraisers, consultants and advisors, including, without limitation, any operations consultant and any financial advisor engaged by Agent) incurred by Agent in connection with any (i) amendment, waiver or consent requested by a Credit Party with respect to the Loan Documents, (ii) Event of Default, (iii) action to enforce any Loan Document or to collect any payments due from Borrower or any other Credit Party, or (iv) any of the matters set forth in the preceding sentence. All fees, charges, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Section 1.3(e) shall be deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, payable in accordance with the final sentence of Section 1.4 and secured by the Collateral.

1.4. Receipt of Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be made without further order of the Bankruptcy Court (i.e., other than the Interim Order or the Final Order) and without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made in same day funds and delivered to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, as applicable, by wire transfer to the account identified below (the “Collection Account”) or such other place as Agent may from time to time designate in writing.

(b) Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account. All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be made in Dollars. For purposes of computing interest and Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the day of receipt of immediately available funds therefor in the Collection Account prior to 4:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received into the Collection Account after 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to

12 have been received on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and Fees due hereunder.

(c) Borrower hereby authorizes Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or Swing Line Advances for the payment of interest, Fees and expenses, Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations and any amounts required to be deposited with respect to outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to Sections 1.5(e) or 7.3; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, expense reimbursements pursuant to Section 1.3(e) shall be payable 10 days after notice thereof to Borrower (and otherwise such expense reimbursements shall be payable upon demand).

1.5. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. At any time, Borrower may prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty subject to LIBOR Breakage Costs, if applicable, and after the Term Loans have been repaid in full, Borrower may prepay the Revolving Loan, in whole or in part, and permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment by a corresponding amount; provided, that voluntary prepayments are accompanied by (A) accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of the prepayment and (B) the payment of LIBOR Breakage Costs, if applicable. Prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(d). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower may borrow and repay Revolving Credit Advances from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement without any corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(b) Prepayments from Asset Dispositions.

(i) Subject to clause (iii) below, immediately upon receipt of any Net Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to clause (iii) below), payments from (a) insurance proceeds or (b) condemnation proceeds, in each case, from casualties or losses to Collateral shall be used to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 1.5(b)(i). To the extent such prepayments exceed the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans, they shall be returned to Borrower subject to the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable.

(iii) Borrower or its Subsidiaries may reinvest up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate of Net Proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds in any Fiscal Year in fixed assets, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds. If the period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence expires without Borrower having reinvested such Net Proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds (as applicable), Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds (as applicable) not reinvested in accordance with Section 1.5(d).

13

(c) Prepayments from Issuance of Debt and Equity Issuances. Immediately upon the receipt by Holdings, Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of the proceeds of (i) the issuance of Stock, or (ii) the incurrence of Indebtedness by Holdings, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 5.1), Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs associated therewith. The payments shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(d).

(d) Application of Proceeds. With respect to any prepayments of the Term Loans made by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.5(a), such prepayments shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans ratably as to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A and the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan B. With respect to any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 1.5(b) or (c), such prepayments shall be applied (in each case, on a pari passu basis, to any liquidated, non-contingent outstanding balance of the Pre-Petition Lender Expense Claims) (i) with respect to the proceeds of that portion of the assets at issue that comprise all or a portion of the Borrowing Base, first, to that portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Advances attributable to those Swing Line Advances made on account of the applicable assets, which application shall effect a permanent reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment, second, to that portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances attributable to those Revolving Credit Advances made on account of the applicable assets, which application shall effect a permanent reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment, third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans ratably as to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A and the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan B, and fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit as provided in Section 1.5(e); (ii) with respect to the proceeds of that portion of the assets at issue that comprise all or a portion of the Pre-Petition Borrowing Base other than Accounts (the proceeds of which Accounts shall be subject to the preceding clause (i)), first, to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan B, second, to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A, third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Advances, which shall effect a permanent reduction to the Swing Line Commitment and the Revolving Loan Commitment, fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances, which shall effect a permanent reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment, and fifth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit as provided in Section 1.5(e); and (iii) with respect to the proceeds of that portion of the assets at issue that do not comprise all or a portion of the Borrowing Base or the Pre-Petition Borrowing Base, first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans ratably as to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A and the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan B, second, to the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Advances, which shall effect a permanent reduction to the Swing Line Commitment and the Revolving Loan Commitment, third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances, which shall effect a permanent reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment, and fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit as provided in Section 1.5(e). Considering each type of Loan being prepaid separately, any such prepayment shall be applied first to Index Rate Loans of the type required to be prepaid before application to LIBOR Loans of the type required to be prepaid, in each case in a manner that minimizes any resulting LIBOR Breakage Costs.

(e) Letter of Credit Obligations. In the event any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that the Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated or Letters of Credit

14 are required to be cash collateralized at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall deposit with Agent for the benefit of all Revolving Lenders cash in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be available to Agent to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit and pay any Fees and expenses related thereto.

1.6. Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no unsatisfied claim has been asserted) shall become due and payable upon the Commitment Termination Date. Until the Termination Date, Agent shall be entitled to retain the Liens on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents and the ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under the Loan Documents and applicable laws. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no unsatisfied claim has been asserted) shall be due and payable.

1.7. Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: the name and federal employer identification number of each Lender, all Advances and the Term Loans, all payments made by Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Agent shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to Borrower for the immediately preceding month. Unless Borrower notifies Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within forty-five (45) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall, absent manifest error, be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

1.8. Yield Protection.

(a) Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or implementation after the date hereof of any law, treaty, directive, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order, or any change in (or the interpretation, administration or application of) any of the same regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), in each case adopted or

15 implemented after the Closing Date, from any central bank or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender against commitments made by it under this Agreement in connection with the making or financing of the Revolving Loan and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days after notice and demand from such Lender (together with the certificate referred to in the next sentence and with a copy to Agent) pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of such cost and showing the basis of the computation of such cost submitted by such Lender to Borrower and Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Increased LIBOR Funding Costs; Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive (or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan, at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its LIBOR Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) each such LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted into an Index Rate Loan. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, change in or interpretation of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive would impose or increase reserve requirements (other than as taken into account in the definition of LIBOR Rate and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any such Lender of issuing any Letter of Credit or making or continuing any LIBOR Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time within thirty (30) days after notice and demand from Agent to Borrower (together with the certificate referred to in the next sentence) pay to Agent itself or, for the account of (and Agent shall promptly pay over to) all such affected Lenders, as applicable, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Agent and such Lenders for such increased cost or reduced amount; provided, that such Lender shall not be entitled to any such amounts to the extent that the event giving rise to such assessment occurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date such notice and demand is given to Borrower; provided, however, that if the event giving rise to such assessment has a retroactive effect, then such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such cost and showing the basis of the computation of such cost submitted by Agent on behalf of all such affected Lenders to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

1.9. Taxes.

(a) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Charges, present or future, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or

16 withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) of any nature whatsoever imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits or any franchise or other tax in lieu thereof (including branch profits or similar taxes) of Agent or Lender by (i) the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Agent or Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof, or (ii) the jurisdiction of such Agent’s or Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or Agent, (i) the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable pursuant to this Section 1.9), such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within thirty (30) days after such payment is made.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and irrevocable value added taxes which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, transfer or assignment or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Foreign Lenders.

(i) Prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement and within fifteen (15) days after a reasonable written request of Borrower or Agent from time to time thereafter, each such Person or Lender that is not in each case a “United States person” (as such term is defined in IRC Section 7701(a)(30)) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to each of the Borrower and Agent two duly completed copies of United States IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY or other applicable or successor form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or substitute therefor as applicable, certifying such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to receive payments under this Agreement and under the Notes free of any United States withholding tax (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Each Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the IRC with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” hereby represents and warrants to Borrower and Agent that, as of the date that it became a Lender, such Foreign Lender (i) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (ii) is not a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, and (iii) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC. Each Foreign Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of Borrower and Agent renewals or additional copies of such Certificates of Exemption on or before the date that such Certificate of Exemption expires or becomes obsolete as may be

17 reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the Certificate of Exemption so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto reflecting such change. All Certificates of Exemption, additional forms or amendments thereto described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(ii) For any period during which Foreign Lender has failed to provide Borrower with an appropriate Certificate of Exemption pursuant to clause (c)(i), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.9 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should Foreign Lender that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a Certificate of Exemption required under clause (i), above, Borrower shall take such steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to recover such Taxes.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted]

(h) Lender Indemnification of Agent. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate Certificate of Exemption was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for Agent).

As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes and Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(b) As of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule 3.15: (i) no Title IV Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (ii) no ERISA Event or event described in Section 4062(e) of ERISA with respect to any Title IV Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (iii) there are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims (other than claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions or lawsuits, asserted or instituted against any Plan or any Person as fiduciary or sponsor of any Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in liabilities to the Credit Parties and their ERISA Affiliates in excess of $500,000; (iv) no Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability in excess of $500,000 as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan; (v) within the last five years no Title IV Plan of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate has been terminated, whether or not in a “standard termination” as that term is used in Section 404(b)(1) of ERISA, nor has any Title IV Plan of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate (determined at any time within the past five years) with Unfunded Pension Liabilities been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate; (vi) except in the case of any ESOP, Stock of all Credit Parties and their ERISA Affiliates makes up, in the aggregate, no more than 10% of fair market value of the assets of any Plan measured on the basis of fair market value as of the latest valuation date of any Plan; and (vii) no liability under any Title IV Plan has been satisfied with the purchase of a contract from an insurance company that is not rated AAA by the S&P or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized rating agency.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance and in good standing (to the extent such

concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction) in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto, including all funding requirements, and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such Foreign Pension Plan; (ii) with respect to each Foreign Pension Plan maintained or contributed to by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party, (A) that is required by applicable law to be funded in a trust or other funding vehicle, such Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance with applicable law regarding funding requirements except to the extent permitted under applicable law and (B) that is not required by applicable law to be funded in a trust or other funding vehicle, reasonable reserves have been established where required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained; and (iii) no actions or proceedings have been taken or instituted to terminate or wind-up a Foreign Pension Plan with respect to which the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.16. Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Schedule 3.16 lists all banks and other financial institutions at which any Credit Party maintains deposit or other accounts as of the Closing Date, including any Disbursement Accounts, other than accounts that have an average daily balance for the immediately preceding 30-day period of less than $500,000 in the aggregate for all such accounts and such Schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

3.17. Agreements and Other Documents. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Credit Party has provided or made available to Agent or its counsel, on behalf of Lenders, accurate and complete copies (or summaries) of all of the following agreements or documents to which it is subject and each of which is listed in Schedule 3.17: supply agreements and purchase agreements not terminable by such Credit Party within sixty (60) days following written notice issued by such Credit Party and involving transactions in excess of $1,000,000 per annum; leases of Equipment having a remaining term of one year or longer and requiring aggregate rental and other payments in excess of $500,000 per annum; licenses and permits held by the Credit Parties, the absence of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; instruments and documents evidencing any material Indebtedness or material Guaranteed Indebtedness of such Credit Party and any Lien granted by such Credit Party with respect thereto; and instruments and agreements evidencing the issuance of any equity securities, warrants, rights or options to purchase equity securities of such Credit Party.

3.18. Insurance.

failure to file Tax Returns or pay Taxes would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Governmental Authority has asserted any claim for taxes, or to any Credit Party’s knowledge, has threatened to assert any claim for taxes that would, if not paid by a Credit Party, have a Material Adverse Effect. All taxes required by law to be withheld or collected and remitted (including, without limitation, income tax, unemployment insurance and workmen’s compensation premiums) with respect to the Credit Parties have been withheld or collected and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities (or are properly being held for such payment), except for amounts the nonpayment of which would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) None of the Credit Parties has been notified that either the IRS, or any other Governmental Authority, has raised, or intends to raise, any adjustments with respect to Taxes of the Credit Parties, which adjustments would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) It is not necessary that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be filed, registered, recorded or enrolled in connection with any Taxes with any court, public office or other authority in any jurisdiction or that any ad valorem stamp duty, stamp duty, documentary, registration or similar tax or duty be paid on the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Borrower shall give, on a timely basis as specified in the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, all notices required to be given to all parties specified in the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable.

(b) After the entry of the Interim Order, and pursuant to and to the extent permitted in the Interim Order and the Final Order, the Obligations will constitute allowed administrative expense claims in the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases having priority over all

administrative expense claims and unsecured claims against the Borrower now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, all administrative expense claims of the kind specified in sections 105, 326, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726, 1114 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, as provided under section 364(c)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject, as to priority only, to the Carve-Out.

(d) The Interim Order (with respect to the period prior to entry of the Final Order) or the Final Order (with respect to the period on and after entry of the Final Order), as the case may be, is in full force and effect has not been reversed, stayed, modified or amended without the Agent’s and Lenders’ consent.

SECTION 4.
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agrees as to all Credit Parties that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date:

4.1. Compliance With Laws and Contractual Obligations. Except for obligations with respect to which the Bankruptcy Code prohibits any Credit Party from complying, each Credit Party will (a) comply with and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with (i) the requirements of all applicable material laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety) as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and (ii) the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in all Contractual Obligations of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries other than those laws, rules, regulations, orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which would not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain or obtain and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain or obtain all licenses, qualifications and permits now held or hereafter required to be held by such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, for which the loss, suspension, revocation or failure to obtain or renew, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This Section 4.1 shall not preclude any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries from contesting any taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith in a manner which stays enforcement thereof and if appropriate expense provisions have been recorded in conformity with GAAP, subject to Section 5.2 and no Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) in respect thereof has been created.

4.2. Insurance. Each Credit Party will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, public liability and property damage insurance with respect to its business and properties and the business and properties of its Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and in amounts acceptable to Agent and will deliver evidence thereof to Agent. Each Credit Party will maintain business interruption insurance providing coverage consistent with that in place on the Closing Date. Each Credit Party shall, pursuant to endorsements and/or assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (i) cause Agent to be named as lender’s loss payee in the case of casualty insurance, and assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance, in each case for the benefit of Agent and Lenders provided, that, in the event that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that no mandatory prepayment is required under the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall with reasonable promptness return any proceeds so received by Agent to the Borrower, and (ii) cause Agent and each Lender to be named as additional insureds in the case of all liability insurance. In the event any Credit Party fails to provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at such Credit Party’s expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect such Credit Party’s interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may not pay any claim made by such Credit Party or any claim that is made against such Credit Party in connection with the Collateral. Such Credit Party may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that such Credit Party has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, such Credit Party will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other Charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance such Credit Party is able to obtain on its own.

4.3. Field Examination; Fixed Asset Appraisal; Lender Meeting. Each Credit Party shall permit any authorized representatives of Agent to conduct a field examination of any of the properties of such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, including its and their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers and certified public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested (a “Field Examination”).Representatives of each Lender will be permitted to accompany representatives of Agent during each Field Examination at such Lender’s expense. In addition to the foregoing, each Credit Party shall permit any authorized representatives of Agent to conduct Fixed Asset Appraisals subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.2(g) hereof. In addition to the foregoing, each Credit Party will participate and will cause key management personnel of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries to participate in a meeting with Agent and Lenders at least once during each year, which meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties shall not be required to permit Agent to conduct any Field Examinations or Fixed Asset Appraisals within six (6) months following the Closing Date unless an Event of Default shall have occurred.

4.4. Organizational Existence. Except as occasioned by the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, and as otherwise permitted by Section 5.6, each Credit Party will and will cause its

material Subsidiaries, if any, to at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence and all rights and franchises material to its business; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.4 shall prevent the dissolution of any Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party hereunder, or withdrawal by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary’s qualification to do business in any jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of organization) where such dissolution or withdrawal would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or the withdrawal of the qualification to do business in any jurisdiction of any Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party hereunder.

4.5. Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall and shall cause each Person within its control to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are appropriate or necessary to maintain the value and marketability of the Real Estate or to otherwise comply with Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Material on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (c) notify Agent promptly after such Credit Party or any Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities to a Credit Party or its Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000; and (d) promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice of actual or alleged violation or liability, request for information or any communication or report received by such Credit Party or any Person within its control in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that would reasonably be expected to (x) have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $1,000,000, in each case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Person under its control or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall, upon Agent’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater to assess such potential violations, Environmental Liabilities, or Releases, and preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrower’s expense, as Agent may from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, and (ii) if such Credit Party or Subsidiary, as applicable, fail to perform (or cause performance of) any environmental audit under Section 4.5(d)(i) above within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from Agent, the Credit Parties shall permit Agent or its representatives to have reasonable access to all Real Estate, to the extent that the Credit Parties have control and authority to permit access to such Real Estate, for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and testing as Agent deems appropriate, including subsurface

sampling of soil and groundwater. Borrower shall reimburse Agent for the costs of such audits and tests and the same will constitute a part of the Obligations.

4.6. Landlords’ Agreements and Mortgagee Agreements. As reasonably requested by Agent and to the extent not otherwise addressed to Agent’s reasonable satisfaction in the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, or in existing contractual arrangements, each Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord’s agreement, mortgagee agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral is stored or located (other than locations (i) outside the U.S. or (ii) containing Collateral in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000 for each individual location or for all such locations not to exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate), which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent. With respect to such locations or warehouse space leased, owned or where Collateral is stored or located as of the Closing Date and thereafter, if Agent has not received a landlord or mortgagee agreement or bailee letter or (if there is no existing contractual arrangement with respect to providing collateral access) entry of the Final Order providing for collateral access as of the Closing Date (or, if later, as of the date such location is acquired, leased or Collateral stored or located), the Eligible Inventory at that location shall, in Agent’s reasonable discretion, be subject to such Reserves as may be established by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment.

4.7. Further Assurances.

(a) Each Credit Party shall, from time to time, execute such guaranties, financing statements, documents, security agreements and reports as Agent or Requisite Lenders at any time may reasonably request to evidence, perfect or otherwise implement the guaranties and security for repayment of the Obligations contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(b) In the event any Credit Party acquires a fee ownership interest in real property after the Closing Date, such Credit Party shall, upon request of Agent, deliver to Agent a fully executed mortgage or deed of trust over such real property in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, together with such title insurance policies, surveys, appraisals, evidence of insurance, legal opinions, environmental assessments and other documents and certificates as shall be reasonably required by Agent.

(c) After the date hereof, each Credit Party shall (i) cause each Person, upon its becoming a Subsidiary of such Credit Party (provided that this shall not be construed to constitute consent by any of the Lenders to any transaction not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement), promptly to guaranty the Obligations and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in the real, personal and mixed property of such Subsidiary to secure the Obligations and (ii) pledge, or cause to be pledged, to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of the Stock of such Subsidiary, other than Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries. The documentation for such guaranty, security and pledge shall be substantially similar to the Loan Documents executed concurrently herewith with such modifications as are reasonably requested by Agent.

4.8. Payment of Taxes. Each Credit Party shall timely pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged) all material taxes, assessments and governmental and other charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon property belonging to it; provided that such Credit Party shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy that is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other appropriate actions diligently conducted and for which the affected Credit Party shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in conformance with GAAP and deemed appropriate by such Credit Party and its independent public accountants.

4.9. Cash Management Systems. Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, enter into Control Agreements providing for full cash dominion with respect to each U.S. deposit account maintained by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower as of or after the Closing Date (other than (a) any payroll account so long as such payroll account either (i) is a zero balance account or (ii) does not contain any amounts in excess of payroll due and payable within four (4) Business Days, (b) accounts funded solely to pay sales and use tax, and any such funds are so used within two (2) Business Days, (c) accounts which individually and in the aggregate at all times have a balance of less than $150,000 and (d) accounts in the name of Borrower or any other Credit Party that hold cash of its customers in a fiduciary capacity). Each such deposit account control agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

4.10. Covenants Regarding Accounts. In the ordinary course of its business, each Credit Party processes its Accounts in a manner such that each payment received by such Credit Party in respect of an Account is allocated to a specifically identified invoice, which invoice corresponds to a particular Account owing to such Credit Party.

SECTION 8.
ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

8.1. Assignment and Participations.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 8.1, any Lender may make an assignment to a Qualified Assignee of, or sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) require the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee) and the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement” substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8.1 and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent); (ii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iii) except with respect to any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee Lender shall have Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iv) require a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 (for which Borrower shall have no liability), (v) with respect to any partial assignment, be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and Obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or Commitment assigned and (vi) so long as no Event of

Default has occurred and is continuing, require the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the above, Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion permit any assignment by a Lender to a Person or Persons that are not Qualified Assignees, subject to Borrower’s consent rights as set forth above. In the case of an assignment by a Lender that has become effective under this Section 8.1, (i) the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof and the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other interests assigned by it from and after the effective date of such assignment. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agree that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender.” In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event Agent or any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any such Lender shall so notify Borrower and Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1(a), (i) any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, (ii) any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment advisor or pledge such Obligations and rights to a trustee for the benefit of its investors and (iii) any Lender may assign the Obligations to an Affiliate of such Lender or to a Person that is a Lender prior to the date of such assignment.

(b) (i) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (x) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder participates, (y) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (z) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 1.8, 1.9, 8.3 and 9.1, Borrower acknowledges and agree that a participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the participant and the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender.” Except as set forth in the preceding sentence no Borrower or any other Credit Party shall have any obligation or duty to any participant. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

(ii) A Lender may not grant a participation to a Person who is (x) not a “United States person” (within the meaning of IRC Section 7701(a)(30) unless such Person is exempt from United States withholding tax as of the date of such participation and provides a Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, or (y) not a Qualifying Lender.

(iii) Where a Lender proposes to grant a participation to a Person who is a Qualifying Lender, that Person must provide evidence of its status as a Qualifying Lender to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender and the Agent.

Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(c) Each Credit Party shall assist each Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 8.1 as required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be requested and the prompt preparation of informational materials for, and the participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or participants, all on a timetable reasonably established by Agent in its sole discretion. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of the Credit Parties and their respective affairs contained in any selling materials provided by it and all other information provided by it and included in such materials, except that any Financial Projections delivered by Borrower shall only be certified by Borrower as having been prepared by Borrower in compliance with the representations contained in Section 3.5. Agent shall maintain, on behalf of Borrower, in its offices located at New York, New York a “register” for recording the name, address, commitment and Loans owing to each Lender. The entries in such register shall be conclusive evidence of the amounts due and owing to each Lender in the absence of manifest error. Borrower, Agent and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The register described herein shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) A Lender may furnish any information concerning Credit Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Lender shall obtain from assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 9.13.

8.2. Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints GE Capital as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders subject to the requirement that certain of Lenders’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this Section 8.2 and Section 9.2. The provisions of this Section 8.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions

hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Credit Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees.

(b) Nature of Duties. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party, and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Requisite Lenders or Supermajority Lenders have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

(c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but neither Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any

approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is deemed to be illegal by Agent or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 8.2(e).

(d) Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, fax or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.

(e) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against, without duplication, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent in its capacity as such in under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 8.2(e) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) GE Capital (or any successor Agent) Individually. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, GE Capital (or any successor Agent) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders,” “Requisite Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include GE Capital (or any successor Agent) in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders or Supermajority Lenders. GE Capital (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other

ownership interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. GE Capital (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

(g) Successor Agent.

(i) Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below.

(ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (i) above, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (i) above, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(iii) Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as Agent.

(h) Collateral Matters.

(i) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (x) on the Termination Date, (y) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower (or any of them) certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry) or (z) in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence. In addition, with the consent of Supermajority Lenders, during any Fiscal Year Agent may release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral as of the first day of such Fiscal Year.

(ii) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in Section 8.2(h)(i)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon

request by Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Agent under clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.2(h)(i). Upon receipt by Agent of any required confirmation from the Requisite Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Credit Party, in respect of), all interests retained by any Credit Party, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(iii) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Collateral Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 8.2(h) or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Collateral Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Collateral Documents as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders, provided that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.

(i) Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Collateral Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Agent in writing, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

(j) Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and Fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite

Lenders in accordance with Section 7. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

(k) Lender Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any enforcement action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Loans, against Borrower or any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or against any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of set-off) without the consent of the Agent or Requisite Lenders. All such enforcement actions and proceedings shall be (i) taken in concert and (ii) at the direction of or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders. Agent is authorized to issue all notices to be issued by or on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Subordinated Debt, the 2002 Senior Debt, the 2003 Senior Secured Debt or the Mezzanine Debt. With respect to any action by Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its Notes to Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Mortgages in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(l) Agent Reports. Each Lender may from time to time receive one or more reports or other information (each, a “Report”) prepared by or on behalf of Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates). With respect to each Report, each Lender hereby agrees that:

(i) Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) shall have no duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of a Lender receiving a copy of a Report, which will be provided solely as a courtesy, without consideration. Each Lender will perform its own diligence and will make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Credit Parties and will not rely on any Report or make any claim that it has done so. In addition, each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) that in any way relates to any Report or arises out of a Lender having access to any Report or any discussion of its contents, and each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by a Lender or any of its personnel of this Section or otherwise arising out of a Lender’s access to any Report or any discussion of its contents;

(ii) Each Report may not be complete and certain information and findings obtained by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) regarding the operations and condition of the Credit Parties may not be reflected in each Report. Agent (and Agent’s Affiliates) makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing; (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; (iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s (and Agent’s Affiliates’) due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; and (iv) any work performed by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s Affiliates) in connection with or using any Report or any related documentation; and

(iii) Each Lender agrees to safeguard each Report and any related documentation with the same care which it uses with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to disseminate or publish, and agrees not to reproduce or distribute or provide copies of or disclose any Report or any other related documentation or any related discussions to anyone.

8.3. Set Off and Sharing of Payments. Subject to Section 8.2(k) and the terms of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Subject to the terms of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to the Agent for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

8.4. Disbursement of Funds. Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to Borrower for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan before Agent disburses same to Borrower. If Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to Agent prior to a disbursement by Agent to Borrower, Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested by Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account on such Funding Date. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Any repayment required pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this Section 8.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the provisions of Section 8.5, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

64 8.5. Disbursements of Advances; Payment.

(a) Advances; Payments.

(i) Revolving Lenders shall refund or participate in the Swing Line Loan in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 1.1(b). If the Swing Line Lender declines to make a Swing Line Advance or if Swing Line Availability is zero, Agent shall notify Revolving Lenders, promptly after receipt of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of a Revolving Credit Advance is received, by fax, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account as set forth in Section 1.1(e) not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Funding Date in the case of an Index Rate Loans and not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the requested Funding Date in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Revolving Credit Advance to Borrower as designated by Borrower in the Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. All payments by each Revolving Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) At least once each calendar week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Advances required to be made by it and funded all purchases of participations required to be funded by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex D or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments and Advances or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations required to be funded by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower.

(b) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent on each Funding Date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 8.5(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender.

(c) Return of Payments.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance or any payment required by it hereunder, or to fund any purchase of any participation in any Swing Line Loan to be made or funded by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Revolving Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or fund the purchase of any such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” or a “Supermajority Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. Indemnities. Borrower agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, pay, and hold Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitees being a party to this Agreement or the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any of the Related Transactions; provided, that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law.

9.2. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower, and by Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Agent or L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that Note. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.2 shall be binding upon each holder of the Notes at the time outstanding and each future holder of the Notes.

9.4. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise, nor any partial exercise of, any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. All rights and remedies existing hereunder or under any other Loan Document are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

9.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes payment(s) or Agent enforces its Liens or Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment(s) or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone (whether as a result of any demand, litigation, settlement or otherwise), then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof 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 made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

9.6. Severability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision under the Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

9.7. Lenders’ Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. In the event that any Lender at any time should fail to make a Loan as herein provided, the Lenders, or any of them, at their sole option, may make the Loan that was to have been made by the Lender so failing to make such Loan. Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by Agent or any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

9.8. Headings. Section and subsection headings are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

9.9. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WHICH DOES NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH APPLICABLE LAW SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all Lenders and any such purported assignment without such written consent shall be void.

9.11. No Fiduciary Relationship; Limited Liability. No provision in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing to any Credit Party by Agent or any Lender. Borrower and each other Credit Party agree that neither Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to Borrower or any other Credit Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower or any other Credit Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless and to the extent that it is determined that such

70 losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by Borrower and any other Credit Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

9.12. Construction. Agent, each Lender, Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Agent, each Lender, Borrower and each other Credit Party.

9.13. Confidentiality. Until the Termination Date, Agent and each Lender agree to exercise their best efforts to keep confidential any non-public information delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents and identified as such by Borrower and not to disclose such information to Persons other than to potential assignees or participants or to any Affiliate of, or Persons employed by or engaged, by Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or a Lender’s assignees or participants including attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, insurance industry associations and portfolio management services.

Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to each Credit Party for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. Agent may provide to industry trade organizations information with respect to the Obligations that is necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. The obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Section 9.13 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent and Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Agent or any Lender prior to the date hereof.

9.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT, SUBJECT TO AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURT.

BORROWER, CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER, CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER, CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND EACH LENDER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

9.16. Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans, issuances of Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower set forth in Sections 1.3(f), 1.8, 1.9 and 9.1 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (other than the GE Capital Fee Letter), and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. All Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes referred to herein are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement.

9.18. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one in the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

9.19. Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender for payment pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9 or, as provided in Section 9.19(c), in the case of certain refusals by any Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers with respect to this Agreement that have been approved by Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable (any such Lender demanding such payment or refusing to so consent being referred to herein as an “Affected Lender”), Borrower may, at their option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to do one of the following:

(i) Borrower may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
