SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT

This SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 27, 2011, by and among Gundle/SLT Environmental, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the other Persons party hereto that are designated as a “Credit Party”, Jefferies Finance LLC (in its individual capacity, “Jefferies Finance”), as Agent for the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”) and for itself as a Lender and such other Lenders.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower, term loans upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to (a) refinance Prior Indebtedness and (b) fund certain fees and expenses associated with the funding of the Initial Term Loans and the refinancing of Prior Indebtedness;

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to secure all of its Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property;

WHEREAS, GEO Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation that owns all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Borrower (“Holdings”), is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations and to pledge to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of the Borrower and substantially all of its other Property to secure the Obligations; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor is willing to guarantee all of the Obligations of the Borrower and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I -

THE CREDITS

1.1 Amounts and Terms of Commitments.

The Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Closing Date, the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1 under the heading “Initial Term Loan Commitment” (such amount, as the same may be terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Initial Term Loan Commitment”). Amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1 are

referred to as the “Initial Term Loans” and, once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed. On the Closing Date and after giving effect to the making of the Initial Term Loans on such date, the Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate. The aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders on the Closing Date is $40,000,000.

1.2 Notes.

(a) The Initial Term Loans made by each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, an Initial Term Note payable to such Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Initial Term Loans held by such Lender.

(b) The Extended Term Loans of the respective Tranche made by each Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, an Extended Term Note payable to such Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Extended Term Loans of the respective Tranche held by such Lender.

1.3 Interest.

(a) Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (I) LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin (“the Basic Interest Rate”, and such interest at the Basic Interest Rate, the “Basic Interest”) and (II) in the case of Initial Term Loans, two percent (2%) (the “PIK Interest Rate”, and such interest at the PIK Interest Rate, the “PIK Interest”). Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year (or 365/366- day year in the case of Base Rate Loans) and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to, but excluding, the last day thereof.

(b) Interest on each Term Loan (in the case of Basic Interest, in cash, and in the case of PIK Interest, by capitalizing such amount as described below) shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid in cash on the date of any payment or prepayment in part or in full of Term loans of an applicable Tranche (but, in the case of a partial payment or prepayment, only in respect of the amount allocated to such partial payment or prepayment). Basic Interest payable under this Section 1.3 shall be payable in cash, and PIK Interest payable under this Section 1.3 shall be payable by adding the amount thereof on each date when interest is due pursuant to this subsection 1.8(b) to the then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans (and thereby increasing the principal amount of Initial Term Loans outstanding hereunder); provided that after the Initial Term Loans have been declared (or have become) due and payable in full, all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest shall be paid in cash.

(c) At the election of the Required Lenders with written notice thereof to be provided to the Borrower while any Non-Specified Event of Default exists, or (ii) automatically while any Specified Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Term Loans from and

after the date such written notice of such Non-Specified Event of Default is given (or automatically from and after the date any Specified Event of Default exists), until any such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Term Loans (plus the LIBOR or Base Rate, as the case may be). All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the 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 payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

1.4 Loan Accounts.

(a) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Term Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on a quarterly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Such record shall, absent demonstrable error, be presumptive evidence of the amount of the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

(b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this subsection 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent and each Lender in the Term Loans and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Term Loan, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid and (5) any other payment received by Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Term Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Term Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Term Loans, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d) The Credit Parties, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, Agent or such Lender during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by Agent.

1.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) The Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Term Loans from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 10.4 if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Term Loan or group of Term Loans under the same Tranche having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000. Any such election must be made by the Borrower by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to (1) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (2) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. The Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission (or by telephone, to be confirmed in writing on such day). In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.5 or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent. No Term Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Required Lenders have determined to permit the conversion of any Base Rate Loan into, or the continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan as, a LIBOR Rate Loan notwithstanding such Event of Default. No Term Loan may be made as or converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date or (ii) completion of primary syndication of the Initial Term Loan Commitments as determined by Agent and the Arrangers (and the resulting addition of such Persons as Lenders hereunder).

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or conversion of any Term Loans, there shall not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

1.6 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Agent) prior written notice by the Borrower to Agent, prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part in an amount greater than or equal to $500,000, in each instance, without penalty or premium except as provided in subsection 1.8(b) and Section 10.4. Optional partial prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied in the manner set forth in subsection 1.7(e). Optional partial prepayments of Term Loans in amounts less than $500,000 shall not be permitted unless otherwise approved by Agent. Any optional prepayment of Initial Term Loans made on or prior to May 27, 2013 shall be accompanied by the payment of the fee required by subsection 1.8(b).

(b) The notice of any prepayment shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower (unless the making of such prepayment is conditioned upon the occurrence of an event) and Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.6, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

1.7 Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Maturity Date. The remaining outstanding principal amount of each Tranche of Term Loans (including the amount of all PIK Interest on the Initial Term Loans that has been capitalized as provided in Section 1.3) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Term Loans.

(b) Asset Dispositions. If a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party shall at any time or from time to time:

(i) make a Disposition; or

(ii) suffer an Event of Loss;

and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with such Disposition or Event of Loss and all other Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during the Fiscal Year exceeds $1,000,000, then (A) the Borrower shall

promptly notify Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (B) within five (5) Business Days of receipt by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Term Loans, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 1.7(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default or, in the case of an Event of Loss, no Specified Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Credit Party or such Subsidiary reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss in productive assets (other than working capital) of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss; provided that the Borrower notifies Agent of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively. If the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary decides not to so reinvest such Net Proceeds during the three hundred sixty-five (365) day period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence or such period expires without the Borrower or such Subsidiary having reinvested such excess Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall deliver such excess Net Proceeds within one (1) Business Day thereafter to Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 1.7(e).

(c) Issuance of Debt. Immediately upon the receipt by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party of the Net Issuance Proceeds of the issuance of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Net Issuance Proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted hereunder), the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent an amount equal to such Net Issuance Proceeds, for application to the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 1.7(e).

(d) Excess Cash Flow. On each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent a written calculation of Excess Cash Flow of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries for the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period in the form of Exhibit 1.7(d) and certified as correct on behalf of the Credit Parties by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and concurrently therewith shall deliver to Agent, for distribution to the Lenders, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (A) the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Term Loans made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 1.6 with internally generated funds (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Term Loans repaid pursuant to Section 1.12) during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period and (II) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of First Lien Loans made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement with internally generated funds (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any First Lien Term Loans repaid pursuant to Section 1.14 (or any comparable Section) of the First Lien Credit Agreement) (but in the case of a voluntary prepayment of First Lien Revolving Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to such prepayment) during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period for application to the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 1.7(e).

(e) Application of Prepayments. Subject to subsection 1.9(c), any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans (with each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans to receive its Term Loan Percentage of the applicable prepayment). Subject to subsection 1.9(c) and any reinvestment rights permitted under subsection 1.7(b), any prepayments pursuant to subsection 1.7(b), 1.7(c) or 1.7(d) shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans (with each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans to receive its Term Loan Percentage of the applicable prepayment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall notify Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to subsections 1.7(b) and (d) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, (ii) upon receiving such notice Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment and (iii) in which case any Lender may elect, by notice to Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to subsections 1.7(b) and (d) and, to the extent any Lender so declines any portion of such prepayment, such portion of such prepayment shall be retained by the Borrower. If a Lender fails to deliver such notice to Agent within the time frame specified above or such notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be declined, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. To the extent permitted by the foregoing sentences, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche then outstanding and then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans of such Tranche with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsections 1.7(b), (c) and (d), so long as any First Lien Loans are outstanding or there are outstanding any commitments to make First Lien Revolving Loans, then to the extent that any cash proceeds referred to in any such clause of this Section 1.7 are applied to repay outstanding First Lien Term Loans and/or First Lien Revolving Loans (but, in the case of First Lien Revolving Loans, only to the extent that there is a corresponding permanent commitment reduction to the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility), the repayments otherwise required pursuant to such clauses of this Section 1.7 shall not be required to the extent the respective cash proceeds are so applied (it being understood and agreed, however, to the extent that any First Lien Lenders decline to receive their allocable share of any such repayment under the First Lien Credit Agreement, such declined amount shall be applied as provided above in this Section 1.7 but subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 5.10(B) (or any corresponding Section) of the First Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date).

1.8 Fees.

(a) Fees. The Borrower shall pay to Agent and each Arranger, for its own respective account, fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in a letter agreement between Jefferies Finance and the Borrower dated April 20, 2011 (the “Fee Letter”).

(b) All voluntary prepayments of principal of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.6 and all mandatory prepayments of principal of Initial Term Loans pursuant to

Section 1.7 (other than any mandatory prepayments required pursuant to subsections 1.7(b)(ii) and 1.7(d)), in each case on or prior to May 27, 2013, will be subject to payment by the Borrower to Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans, of a fee as follows: (x) if payable on or prior to May 27, 2012, an amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment, and (y) if payable after May 27, 2012 and on or prior to May 27, 2013, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of any such voluntary prepayment or the due date of any such mandatory prepayment, as the case may be.

1.9 Payments by the Borrower.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than noon (New York time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than noon (New York time) may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(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 the Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 1.11, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders with outstanding Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time following the Closing Date transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s outstanding Initial Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such outstanding Initial Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such outstanding Initial Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s outstanding Initial Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Tranche of Initial Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, Maturity Date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Initial Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Initial Term Loans (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Initial Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for

covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date);

(vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders with Initial Term Loans shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Initial Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;

(vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing;

(viii) no more than two (2) Extensions may be effected in respect of Initial Term Loans; and

(ix) the Extension shall not become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of the Extension, (x) the Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Credit Party dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such Extension and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 shall be satisfied (or waived by the applicable Extending Lenders) and Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. In connection with each Extension Offer, each relevant Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall determine whether it wishes to participate in the respective Extension contemplated by such Extension Offer. Any relevant Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer within the time period contemplated by the applicable Extension Offer shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Offer. The election of any relevant Lender to agree to an Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower (and the other applicable Credit Parties) and without the consent of the other Lenders (other than the Extended Lenders) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of Agent and the Borrower in order to establish a new Tranche of Term Loans in respect of Term Loans so extended and/or established and such technical and conforming amendments as may be necessary in connection with the Extension and/or establishment of such new Tranche in each case on terms consistent with this Section 1.11. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend any Mortgage that has a Maturity Date prior to the then latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to Agent).

If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower believes in good faith that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.12, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in

each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 1.6 and 1.7 and subsection 9.11(b) (although the par principal amount of Extended Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall be applied to reduce the remaining scheduled installments (if any) of any Tranche of Extended Term Loans of the applicable Lenders being repaid on a pro rata basis (based on the remaining principal amount thereof) without affecting the scheduled installments (if any) of such Tranche of Extended Term Loans relating to the Lenders whose Extended Term Loans have not been so purchased).

The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Sections 9.5 and 9.6 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

4.6 Insurance.

(a) Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the property and businesses of the Credit Parties and such Subsidiaries (including

policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Borrower) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by businesses of the size and character of the business of the Credit Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance relating to any property or business of any Credit Party to name Agent as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate. All policies of insurance on real and personal property of the Credit Parties will contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, showing loss payable to Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent) and extra expense and business interruption endorsements. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with respect to such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, the Credit Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause insurers to give Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of the Credit Parties or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Agent (or, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Agent), subject to the Borrower’s rights under subsection 1.7(b) (and Agent agrees that, if no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, it shall provide any necessary endorsement to any check or other instrument representing payment of insurance proceeds such that the Borrower may reinvest the proceeds thereof subject to the provisions of subsection 1.7(b)). If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash, subject to Borrower’s rights under subsection 1.7(b) (and Agent agrees that, if no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, it shall provide any necessary endorsement to any check or other instrument representing payment of insurance proceeds such that Borrower may reinvest the proceeds thereof subject to the provisions of subsection 1.7(b)). Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of each Credit Party’s risk profile, to require additional forms and limits of insurance. Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (i) above, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or (y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Borrower, purchase insurance at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interests, including interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement (and, to the extent the Borrower has complied with the provisions of this sentence and are entitled to cancel any such insurance obtained by Agent, Agent agrees, to the extent necessary, to promptly cancel such insurance at the written direction of the Borrower).

If Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.

Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:

(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent);

(ii) shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document;

(iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender, Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

8.6 Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively.

8.7 Lender Credit Decision.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Initial Term Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Agent to the Lenders, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons.

(b) If any Lender has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Term Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agent or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Lender’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender acknowledges that if such Lender chooses to communicate with Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities.

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to the applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or

because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this subsection 8.8(c).

8.9 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Agent may resign at any time by delivering written notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective. If Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower if required pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection 8.9(a). If, within 30 days after the retiring Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(a) any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 4.12; and

(b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 4.12 after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon subsection 5.1(h) or (i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) payment and satisfaction in full of all Term Loans and all other Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) under the Loan Documents, (B) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Indemnitee that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and (C) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent.

In addition, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent, at its option and its discretion, to subordinate or release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral to any Lien on such asset permitted pursuant to subsection 5.1(h) or 5.1(i). Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral, or subordinate its Lien, pursuant to this Section 8.10.

Each Lender hereby directs Agent, and Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.10.

8.11 Syndication Agent and Arrangers. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, neither the Syndication Agent nor any Arranger shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Syndication Agent and each Arranger have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Syndication Agent or any Arranger. At any time that any Lender serving (or whose Affiliate is serving) as Syndication Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Term Loans, such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender acting as Syndication Agent) shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as Syndication Agent. It is understood and agreed that each of the Syndication Agent, each Arranger and their respective Related Persons shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of Agent as provided in Sections 8.8, 9.5 and 9.6.

it being agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed to be directly and adversely affected by an amendment or waiver of the type described in preceding clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

(b) No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, (x) Agent may amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect Sales entered into pursuant to Section 9.9, and (y) Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein, or (2) grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional property for the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Credit Parties.

omission on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (ii) to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors or employees, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or (y) a material breach of its material obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person of such Indemnitee to the extent that such Liabilities did not result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii)(A) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent or following Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party and (B) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation 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 occurred.

9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9,

and provided further that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and Agent and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), Agent and each Lender receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Credit Party or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) (A) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans) to (I) any existing Lender (other than a Sponsor Affiliated Person except, in the case of a Sponsor Affiliated Person, in accordance with and as expressly provided in subsection 9.9(b)(B)), (II) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender or (III) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Agent; provided, however, that (t) the consent of Agent shall not be required for assignments of Initial Term Loans made by Jefferies Finance (or its applicable Affiliate) as part of the primary syndication of the Initial Term Loans, (u) no Sales may be made to any Person identified in writing by the Borrower and delivered to the Arrangers on or prior to April 20, 2011 (the “List of Indentified Disqualified Financial Institutions”), and any other Person who (i) owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity interests of any Person on the List of Indentified Disqualified Financial Institutions, (ii) is controlled by any Person described in the foregoing clause (i) (for purposes hereof, “control” being the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of a person, whether by contract or otherwise) or (iii) is a Subsidiary of any Person on the List of Indentified Disqualified Financial Institutions, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent may be withheld by the Borrower in its sole discretion), which List of Indentified Disqualified Financial Institutions has been made available by Agent to the Lenders (it being understood and agreed, (I) neither Agent nor any assigning Lender shall have any duty to inquire as to whether any prospective Lender is a Person described in the preceding clause (u), nor shall Agent or any assigning Lender incur any liability to any Credit Party or any other Person for consummating a Sale to a Person described in the preceding clause (u) and (II) the applicable Assignment shall contain representations and warranties by the assignee Lender that it is not a Person described in the preceding clause (u) and such assignee Lender shall be solely liable for any breach of such representation and warranty), (v) no Sales may be made to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than as, and to the extent, permitted by Section 1.12 and subsection 9.9(b)(B), (w) such Sales do not have to be ratable between any Tranche of Term Loans but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a Term Loan of the same Tranche, (x) for each Term Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Term Loans subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or

Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and Agent, and (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned.

(B) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to in preceding clause (A) and below in this clause (B), the Sponsor or any of its majority owned and controlled Affiliates (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) (each a “Sponsor Affiliated Person”) may from time to time purchase and have assigned to it Term Loans on the open market (each, a “Sponsor Purchase”), so long as in each case the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Sponsor Purchase;

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sponsor Affiliated Persons shall not be permitted to hold an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans that represents more than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans at any time; and

(iii) the relevant Sponsor Affiliated Person must terminate any proposed Sponsor Purchase if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such proposed Sponsor Purchase.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Sponsor Affiliated Person becoming a Lender hereby agrees that (i) no Sponsor Affiliated Person shall have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to this Agreement (other than with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) or with respect to the elimination of any of the aforementioned clauses of subsection 9.1(a)) or any other Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to this Agreement (other than with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) or with respect to the elimination of any of the aforementioned clauses of subsection 9.1(a)) or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such vote, consent or waiver would result in such Sponsor Affiliated Person not being treated ratably with all other Lenders similarly situated, (ii) each Sponsor Affiliated Person waives its right in its capacity as a Lender to (x) receive information (other than administrative information such as notifications under Section 1 or 2) not prepared by (or on behalf of) Holdings or the Borrower from Agent or any Lender under or in connection with the Loan Documents otherwise delivered or required to be delivered to each Lender and (y) attend any meeting or conference call with Agent or any Lender in respect of the Loan Documents but in which neither Holdings nor the Borrower participates, (iii) at the time of each assignment to an assignee that is a Sponsor Affiliated Person, such assignee shall identify itself as a Sponsor Affiliated Person by notifying Agent and the assignor Lender thereof in writing, (iv) no Sponsor Affiliated Person shall make or bring any

claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents, (v) no Sponsor Affiliated Person in its capacity as a Lender shall have any right whatsoever to require Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) no Lender which is also a Sponsor Affiliated Person shall assert any claim, motion, objection or argument that could otherwise be asserted or raised in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding by a Lender except to the extent such Sponsor Affiliated Person is not being treated ratably with all other Lenders similarly situated, and (vii) in connection with voting on any plan in any such proceeding, (x) if Lenders which are not Sponsor Affiliated Persons holding at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the claims of such Lenders which are not Sponsor Affiliated Persons vote in favor of a plan, each Sponsor Affiliated Person shall vote its Lender claim in favor of such plan and (y) no Sponsor Affiliated Person shall vote its Lender claim in favor of any plan which is not supported by those Lenders which are not Sponsor Affiliated Persons holding at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the claims of such Lenders which are not Sponsor Affiliated Persons.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor reasonably acceptable to Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent (it being understood that no such fee shall be required in connection with the primary syndication by Jefferies Finance (or its applicable Affiliate) of the Initial Term Loans); provided that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 9.9(b), upon Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment (if such Person’s consent is so required), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register as required under Section 1.4 the information contained in such Assignment.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released

from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Term Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Participants. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Term Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 10.1(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation, provided, however, that in no case shall a participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, (iii) the consent of such participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (vi) of subsection 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register meeting the requirements of Section §5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations on which it enters in book entry form the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any

Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Public Information. Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations).

(b) Confidential Information. Each Lender and Agent agrees to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated by any Credit Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority (and, in any such case, the Person disclosing such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower prior to any disclosure, to the extent same would not be prohibited by applicable law or order), (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements (but limited to only such customary information as required for such league tables), (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, other than any Person on the List of Indentified Disqualified Financial Institutions or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Rate Contracts and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this

Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall govern.

(c) Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent, any Arranger or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

The Credit Parties authorize Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System.

(f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States after the Closing Date, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or Agent (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System).

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding trust accounts, withholding accounts, fiduciary accounts and payroll accounts so long as, with respect to payroll accounts, the amount on deposit therein is not in excess of amounts necessary for purposes of funding current payroll liabilities and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements applicable to such account) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing which is not paid when due. No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or the Required Lenders. Each of Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 1.11, 1.12 or 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent and each Lender, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor.

ARTICLE X -

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

10.1 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding Excluded Taxes, the “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with

applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Borrower shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt or other evidence of payment thereof.

(d) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid by such Secured Party that relate to the payment by or on behalf of the Borrower under a Loan Document and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Secured Party pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date such Secured Party notifies the Borrower of such Secured Party’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six (6) month period shall be executed to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or, after a change in any Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or Agent (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S.

trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (along with any underlying forms) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments of interest to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Credit Parties and Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of either (i) a change in any Requirement of Law or (ii) a change in circumstances with respect to a Credit Party, a non-U.S. Lender Party is unable to supply the forms or other documents required by this paragraph such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall notify the Borrower and Agent of its inability and be treated as having complied with all of the requirements of this paragraph.

(ii) Each U.S. Lender Party shall provide Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a U.S. Lender Party need not provide such forms if such U.S. Lender Party is an exempt recipient under the United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

(iii) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to Agent and Borrower documentation, at the time or times prescribed by law, prescribed by the IRS to demonstrate that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes under FATCA, or if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(g) If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund, whether in the form of a payment, credit or offset (but only to the extent such credit or offset is actually utilized), of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 10.1 with

respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid, credited or allowed as an offset, by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, which interest shall be paid to the Borrower); provided, that (i) a Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Secured Party, whether to file a claim for a refund, (ii) no Secured Party shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1(g) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists and (iii) the Borrower, upon the request of such Secured Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Secured Party in the event the Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this subsection 10.1(g) shall be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

(b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(c) Before giving any notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Term Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.5 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense (other than any anticipated lost profits) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.4 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to subsection 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such LIBOR Rate Loan, Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of

Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Term Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Term Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

10.6 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Section 1.12 or Article V and Article VI shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party at “fair value.” A breach of a financial covenant contained in Article VI shall be deemed to have occurred as of the last day of any specified measurement period, regardless of when the financial statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining pro forma compliance with each of the financial covenants in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 for any period prior to September 30, 2011, Holdings shall be required to be in compliance with the ratios otherwise required in respect of the Test Period ending September 30, 2011.

11.4 Payments. Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Credit Party. Any such determination or redetermination by Agent shall be presumptive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or any Credit Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Credit Party or of any Secured Party (other than Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted. Agent may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.

SCHEDULE 1.12

Credit Agreement

REVERSE DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES

This Schedule 1.12 is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the reverse Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.12 of the Credit Agreement, of which this Schedule 1.12 is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a reverse Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable offering document. None of Agent, the Auction Manager, any Arranger or any of their respective affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons (together with Agent, each Arranger and their respective affiliates, the “Related Person”) makes any recommendation pursuant to any offering document as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to any offering documents, nor shall the decision by Agent, the Auction Manager, any Arranger or any other Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell its Term Loans to the Borrower be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Term Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant offering documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule 1.12 have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

(a) Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Auction Manager for distribution to the Lenders of the Term Loans (each, an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless a lesser amount is agreed to by Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (as such date and time may be extended by the Auction Manager, such time the “Expiration Time”). Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided that only one extension per offer shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (x) the Borrower withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. In the event of a failed auction, the Borrower shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring three (3) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous

Auction.

(b) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender of Term Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective offering document (each, a “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) in principal amount of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that such Lender offers for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”). A Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans of such Tranche held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the offering document (each, an “Auction Assignment and Assumption”). The Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price.

(c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at such applicable Reply Prices and shall not be subject to proration.

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

(e) Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable

Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet or intranet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with this Schedule 1.12). The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon the request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

(f) Auction Assignment and Assumption. Each Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Assumption shall contain the following representations and warranties by the Borrower:

(i) The conditions set forth in Section 1.12 of the Credit Agreement have each been satisfied on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such conditions refer to conditions that must be satisfied as of a future date, in which case the Borrower must terminate any Auction if it fails to satisfy one of more of the conditions which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction.

(ii) The representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Credit Party contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes hereof, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.11(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(g) Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, (i) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager or (ii) the Borrower has failed to meet a condition set forth in Section 1.12 of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void

GUARANTY

Section 2.1 Guaranty. To induce the Lenders to make the Loans to or for the benefit of the Borrower, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Loan Document, of all the Obligations of the Borrower whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Section 2.2 Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.

Section 2.3 Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower and Holdings) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.

Section 2.4 Authorization; Other Agreements. The Secured Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:

(a) (i) modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;

(b) apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the Loan Documents;

(d) (i) sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation, (iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with the Borrower and any other Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and

(e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.5 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert, any defense (other than a defense of payment), whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Agent):

(a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;

(b) the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;

(c) the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

(d) any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any

of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 6.1 Code and Other Remedies. (a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law (subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement).

(b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (enter into Contractual Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public

or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.

(c) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), (i) at the Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places that the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Agent and (iv) the Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Agent.

(d) Application of Proceeds. Subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1 in such order as specified in Section 1.10(c) of the Credit Agreement to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by the Intercreditor Agreement or any Requirement of Law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(e) Direct Obligation. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law (but, in each case, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement). To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed

sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

(f) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent to do any of the following:

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

(ii) unless required by Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against

any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.

(g) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property (with respect to Trademarks, subject to reasonable quality control in favor of such Grantor) now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software, in each case to the extent permitted by any applicable licenses covering such Software, used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

Section 6.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles. (a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Agent, in a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Agent as provided in Section 6.4. Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement):

(i) each Grantor shall, upon the Agent’s request, deliver to the Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Agent;

(ii) the Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and

(iii) each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Loan Document or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 6.3 Pledged Collateral. (a) Voting Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, (but otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), upon notice by the Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Agent or its nominee may exercise (i) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (ii) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it and except for any act constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision; provided, however, that the Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; provided, further, that if and when any such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, (i) such voting rights shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor and (ii) the Agent, at the expense of the Grantors, shall execute such documents reasonably requested by Grantors to allow the owner of any equity interest to exercise any rights associated with such equity interest.

(b) Proxies. In order to permit the Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default (but otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement) and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

(c) Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or the Credit Agreement, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Agent. The Agent hereby agrees that it shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement).

Section 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Agent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All proceeds being held by the Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.5 Sale of Pledged Collateral. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or

may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1 and this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or rights to exercise any subrogation rights upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Agent.

Section 6.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

Section 7.1 Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any Related Person thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Loan Documents, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Agent and its Related Persons the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following when an Event of Default shall be

continuing (in each case, to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the Interercreditor Agreement):

Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon any Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of the Loan Documents, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(vi) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any Contractual Obligation contained herein, the Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such Contractual Obligation.

(b) The expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate set forth in subsection 1.3(c) of the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand (but otherwise subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 7.1 and in accordance with the terms herein. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 7.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. During the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Grantor authorizes the Agent and its Related Persons, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, including all proceeds thereof”; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to any filing or recordation of documents or instruments with respect to any Intellectual Property, Agent shall provide a copy of such proposed filing or recordation to the Borrower at least five (5) Business Days prior to such filing or recordation. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.

Section 7.3 Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them (subject, however, to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), but, as between the Agent and the Grantors, the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured

Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

Section 7.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. (a) The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. The Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. In addition, the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Agent in good faith.

(b) No Secured Party and no Related Person thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise

affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

Section 8.2 Release of Collateral. (a) At the time provided in subsection 8.10(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Each Grantor (or such Grantor’s designee) is hereby authorized to file UCC-3 amendments, termination statements and other documents, such as releases of security interest with the Applicable IP Office, at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released; provided, however, that in no event is any Grantor authorized to execute any instrument, agreement or document on behalf of Agent or any Lender to evidence such release pursuant to this Section 8.2. At the request of any Grantor following any such termination, the Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If the Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to subsection 8.10(b) of the Credit Agreement (or as otherwise permitted or required by the Intercreditor Agreement) to release any Lien or any Collateral, such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, such subsection (or the Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be). In connection therewith, the Agent, at the request of any Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

(c) At the time provided in subsection 8.10(b) of the Credit Agreement, then, upon the request of the Borrower, unless as a condition to the consent of Agent and Lenders to such sale, if applicable, such Grantor is required to remain subject to this Agreement, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Grantor shall be sold to any Person that is not a Credit Party, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents.

Section 8.3 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent may, at its sole election (but otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Credit Party in any proceeding.

Section 8.4 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.5), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party,

any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 8.5 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

Section 8.6 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral. (a) Joinder Agreements. If, at the option of the Borrower or as required pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral which is otherwise required to be delivered hereunder and has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”).

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

THIS INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of May 27, 2011, made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Party” and, together with any entity that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the “Parties”) and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”), for the benefit of the Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 7 hereof). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Second Lien Credit Agreement referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Gundle SLT/Environmental Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the other entities party thereto designated as “Credit Parties”, the financial institutions party thereto designated as “Lenders” and the Agent, have entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2011, providing for the making of Loans to the Borrower as contemplated therein (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, each Party (other than the Borrower) has guaranteed to the Secured Parties the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit under the Second Lien Credit Agreement that this Agreement be executed and delivered by the original Parties hereto;

WHEREAS, additional Parties may from time to time become parties hereto in accordance with the requirements of the Second Lien Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of the Parties desires to execute this Agreement to satisfy the conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Parties and the Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) hereby agree as follows:

1. The Subordinated Debt (as defined in Section 7 hereof) and all payments of principal, interest and all other amounts thereunder are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations), of all Senior Indebtedness to the extent, and in the manner, set forth herein. The foregoing shall apply notwithstanding the availability of collateral to the Senior Creditors or the holders of Subordinated Debt or the actual date and time of execution, delivery, recordation, filing or perfection of any security interests granted with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Debt, or the lien or priority of payment thereof, and in any instance wherein the Senior Indebtedness or any claim for the Senior Indebtedness is subordinated, avoided or disallowed, in whole or in part, under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law. In the event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal, foreign, state or local law (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), the Senior Indebtedness shall include all interest, fees and expenses accrued on the Senior Indebtedness, in accordance with and at the rates specified in the Senior Indebtedness, both for periods before and for periods after the commencement of any of such proceedings, even if the claim for such interest, fees and expenses is not allowed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

2. Each Party (as a lender of any Subordinated Debt) hereby agrees that until all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations):

(a) Such Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Senior Creditors (as defined in Section 7 hereof), which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Required Senior Creditors’ sole discretion, commence, or join or participate in, any Enforcement Action (as defined in Section 7 hereof).

(b) In the event that (i) all or any portion of any Senior Indebtedness becomes due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any Event of Default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, then exists or would result from such payment on the Subordinated Debt, (iii) such Party receives any payment or prepayment of principal, interest or any other amount, in whole or in part, of (or with respect to) the Subordinated Debt in violation of the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement or (iv) any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is made of all or any part of the property, assets or business of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the proceeds thereof, in whatever form, to any creditor or creditors of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to any holder of indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or by reason of any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, or of any receivership or custodianship for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or of all or substantially all of their respective property, or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding by or against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries for any relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or laws, federal, foreign, state or local, or any law, federal, foreign, state or local relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension, then, and in any such event, any payment or

distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which shall be payable or deliverable with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Debt or which has been received by any Party shall be held in trust by such Party for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Creditors for application to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all sums due under the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Senior Creditors. In any such event, the Senior Creditors may, but shall not be obligated to, demand, claim and collect any such payment or distribution that would, but for these subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinated Debt. In the event of the occurrence of any event referred to in subclauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the second preceding sentence of this clause (b) and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been fully paid in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and satisfied and all of the obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to the Senior Creditors have been performed in full, no payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) shall be made to or accepted by any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more of the events referred to in subclauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence of this clause (b) is in existence, the Required Senior Creditors may agree in writing that payments may be made with respect to the Subordinated Debt which would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the provisions contained above, provided that any such waiver shall be specifically limited to the respective payment or payments which the Required Senior Creditors agree may be so paid to any Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt.

(c) If such Party shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness and the lien of the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, and such Party hereby waives any and all rights it may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations).

(d) Such Party shall not pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, convey or sell any Subordinated Debt or any interest in any Subordinated Debt to any entity (other than under the relevant Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Indebtedness Documents or in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Second Lien Credit Agreement to a Credit Party which is a Party hereto) without the prior written consent of the Agent (with the prior written consent of the Required Senior Creditors).

(e) In any case commenced by or against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal, foreign, state or local statute (a “Reorganization Proceeding”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Required Senior Creditors shall have the exclusive right to exercise any voting rights in respect of the claims of such Party against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made (whether by Holdings, the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Credit Party or such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Such Party shall not object to the entry of any order or orders approving any cash collateral stipulations, adequate protection stipulations or similar stipulations executed by the Senior Creditors (or their representatives) in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) Such Party waives any marshalling rights with respect to the Senior Creditors in any Reorganization Proceeding or any other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Each Party hereby covenants that such Party will not lend, hold or permit to exist any Intercompany Debt owed by it or to it (in accordance with the definition thereof contained herein) unless each obligee or obligor, as the case may be, with respect to such Intercompany Debt is (or concurrently with such extension becomes) a Party to this Agreement.

4. Any payments made to, or received by, any Party in respect of any guaranty or security in support of the Subordinated Debt shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and applied on the same basis as payments made directly by the obligor under such Subordinated Debt. To the extent that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the respective obligor or obligors which are already Parties hereto) provides a guaranty or any security in support of any Subordinated Debt, the Party which is the lender of the respective Subordinated Debt will cause each such Person to become a Party hereto (if such Person is not already a Party hereto) not later than the date of the execution and delivery of the respective guarantee or security documentation, provided that any failure to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 4 will have no effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained herein (which shall apply to all payments received with respect to any guarantee or security for any Subordinated Debt, whether or not the Person furnishings such guarantee or security is a Party hereto).

5. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no payments will be accepted by it in respect of the Subordinated Debt (unless promptly turned over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as contemplated by Section 2 above) to the extent such payments would be prohibited under any Senior Indebtedness (or the documentation governing the same).

6. In addition to the foregoing agreements, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Intercompany Debt (whether or not same constitutes Subordinated Debt), that (x) such Intercompany Debt (and any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing same) may be pledged, and delivered for pledge, by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Collateral Document and (y) with respect to all Intercompany

Debt so pledged, the Agent shall be entitled (subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise all rights and remedies with respect to such Intercompany Debt to the maximum extent provided in the various Collateral Documents. Furthermore, with respect to all Intercompany Debt at any time owed to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is a Credit Party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the terms of such Intercompany Debt, each obligor (including any guarantor) and obligee with respect to such Intercompany Debt hereby agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Senior Indebtedness, that the Agent may at any time, and from time to time, acting on its own or at the request of the Required Senior Creditors (subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement), accelerate the maturity of such Intercompany Debt if (x) any obligor (including any guarantor) of such Intercompany Debt is subject to any Bankruptcy Proceeding or (y) any Event of Default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing. Any such acceleration of the maturity of any Intercompany Debt shall be made by written notice by the Agent to the obligor on the respective Intercompany Debt; provided that no such notice shall be required (and the acceleration shall automatically occur) either upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to the respective obligor (or any guarantor) of the respective Intercompany Debt or upon (or following) any acceleration of the maturity of any Loans pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

7. Definitions. As and in this Agreement, the terms set forth below shall have the respective meanings provided below:

11. Each Party hereto acknowledges that to the extent that no adequate remedy at law exists for breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in the event any Party fails to comply with its obligations hereunder, the Agent or the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have the right to obtain specific performance of the obligations of such defaulting Party, injunctive relief or such other equitable relief as may be available.

Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law or the Second-Lien Loan Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever (including any non-perfection of any Lien purporting to secure the First-Lien Obligations and/or Second-Lien Obligations), the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents) hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First-Lien Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the Second-Lien Obligations; and (b) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second-Lien Agent, any Second-Lien Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Second-Lien Obligations for all purposes, whether or

not such Liens securing any First-Lien Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the First-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the Second-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor). The priorities of the Liens provided in this Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or Refinancing of any of the First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations, nor by any action or inaction which any of the Secured Parties may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral.

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second-Lien Secured Party, and the First-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First-Lien Secured Party, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity or enforceability of any Collateral Document or any Obligation thereunder, (ii) the enforceability of the First-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Obligations, (iii) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents with respect to the First-Lien Obligations and the Second-Lien Obligations or (iv) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the First-Lien Obligations and the Second-Lien Obligations granted and/or established in this Agreement or any Collateral Document with respect to such Liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First-Lien Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations as provided in Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that no Grantor shall grant or permit any additional Liens, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, on any asset or property to secure any Second-Lien Obligation unless it has also granted a Lien on such asset or property to secure the First-Lien Obligations and has taken all actions to perfect such Liens. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First-Lien Agent and/or the other First-Lien Secured Parties, the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2 hereof.

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that neither the First-Lien Collateral nor the Second-Lien Collateral be more expansive than the Second-Lien Collateral and the First-Lien Collateral, respectively. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9 hereof, the First-Lien Agent, the other First-Lien Secured Parties, the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(i) upon request by the First-Lien Agent or the Second-Lien Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time

to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Second-Lien Collateral or the First-Lien Collateral, respectively, and the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Second-Lien Collateral Documents or the First-Lien Collateral Documents, respectively;

(ii) that the First-Lien Collateral Documents and the Second-Lien Collateral Documents shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the priority nature of the Liens created thereunder in the respective Collateral; and

(iii) that the guarantees for the First-Lien Obligations and the Second-Lien Obligations shall be substantially in the same form.

2.5 Perfection. Each Secured Creditor shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Lien in the Collateral in which such Secured Creditor has been granted a Lien. The foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as among the Secured Creditors and shall not impose on any Secured Creditor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Collateral that would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

SECTION 3. Enforcement.

3.1 Exercise of Remedies. (a) The provisions of this clause (a) are subject to clause (e) below in this Section 3.1. So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor: (i) the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral (whether available under the Second-Lien Loan Documents, pursuant to applicable law or otherwise, including, without limitation, foreclosing on the Liens of such Person in any Collateral, selling or realizing on any of the Collateral, taking possession of Collateral (unless solely for purposes of perfecting Liens on such Collateral), the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, control account agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party is a party, the exercise of voting rights or other rights and remedies pertaining to pledged equity interests and the contacting of account debtors for payment in respect of accounts receivable owing to any Grantor) or institute or commence, or join with any Person in instituting or commencing, any action or proceeding with respect to any such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution and any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), and will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or any other action brought by the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party on account of or in respect of the Collateral or any other exercise by the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party of any rights and remedies (whether of a kind described above or otherwise) relating to the Collateral, whether available under the First-Lien Documents, pursuant to applicable law or otherwise (including the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), or object to the forbearance by the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of

any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral; and (ii) the First-Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right, and the Required First-Lien Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to instruct the First-Lien Agent, to enforce rights, exercise remedies (whether available under the First-Lien Documents, pursuant to applicable law or otherwise, including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party, all as though the Second-Lien Obligations did not exist; provided, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, the Second-Lien Agent may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second-Lien Obligations, (B) the Second-Lien Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Collateral securing the First-Lien Obligations, or the rights of the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (C) the Second-Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleading in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, including any claim secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (D) the Second-Lien Secured Parties may file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and only with respect to the portion of their claim that is unsecured and (E) the Second-Lien Secured Parties may vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with, or not violative of, the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Second-Lien Obligations and the Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First-Lien Agent and the other First-Lien Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the First-Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under applicable law, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable law and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral (whether available under the Second-Lien Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies of a kind described in Section 3.1(a) above), and shall not hold possessory Liens on all or any part of the Collateral (such possessory Liens to be held by First-Lien Agent, subject to the terms of Section 5.5 hereof), unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the sole right of the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second-Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of

the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents and applicable law.

(c) The Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), (i) agrees that the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of rights or remedies by First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties with respect to all or any part of the Collateral (whether available under the First-Lien Documents, applicable law or otherwise), including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Collateral Document or subordinate the priority of the First-Lien Obligations to the Second-Lien Obligations or grant the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second-Lien Secured Parties may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the First-Lien Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the First-Lien Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First-Lien Agent or First-Lien Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the Second-Lien Secured Parties.

(d) The Second-Lien Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second-Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second-Lien Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First-Lien Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in preceding clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.1, at any time while an “event of default” exists under (and as defined in) the Second-Lien Credit Agreement, then so long as 180 days have elapsed after written notice thereof (and requesting that enforcement action be taken with respect to the Collateral) has been received by the First-Lien Agent from the Second-Lien Agent and so long as the respective “event of default” shall not have been cured or waived (or any acceleration in respect thereof rescinded), the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, may, but only if the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties are not pursuing in good faith enforcement proceedings, or otherwise exercising rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the solicitation of bids from third parties to conduct the liquidation of all or any portion of the Collateral, the engagement or retention of sales brokers, marketing agents, investment bankers, accountants, auctioneers or other third parties for the purpose of valuing, marketing, promoting or selling all or any portion of the Collateral, the notification of account debtors to make payments to the First-Lien Agent or its agents, the initiation of any action to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, the commencement of any legal proceedings or actions against or with respect to the foreclosure and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, diligently attempting in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an enforcement action with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or diligently attempting in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral), with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner (with any determination of which

Collateral to proceed against, and in what order, to be made by the First-Lien Agent or such First-Lien Secured Parties in their reasonable judgment), enforce the Liens on Collateral granted pursuant to the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, provided that (x) any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral received by the Second-Lien Agent or such other Second-Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, in connection with the enforcement of such Lien shall be applied in accordance with Section 4 hereof and (y) the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Parties may at any time take over such enforcement proceedings, provided that the First-Lien Agent or such First-Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, pursue enforcement proceedings, or otherwise exercise rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the solicitation of bids from third parties to conduct the liquidation of all or any portion of the Collateral, the engagement or retention of sales brokers, marketing agents, investment bankers, accountants, auctioneers or other third parties for the purpose of valuing, marketing, promoting or selling all or any portion of the Collateral, the notification of account debtors to make payments to the First-Lien Agent or its agents, the initiation of any action to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, the commencement of any legal proceedings or actions against or with respect to the foreclosure and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, diligently attempting in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an enforcement action with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or diligently attempting in good faith to vacate any stay prohibiting an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral), with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, with any determination of which Collateral to proceed against, and in what order, to be made by the First-Lien Agent or such First-Lien Secured Parties in their reasonable judgment, and provided further that the Second-Lien Agent or Second-Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall only be able to recoup (from amounts realized by the First-Lien Agent or any First-Lien Secured Parties) in any enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral (whether initiated by the First-Lien Agent or First-Lien Secured Parties or taken over by them as contemplated above) any expenses incurred by them in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 hereof.

SECTION 4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Secured Creditor pursuant to the enforcement of any Collateral Document or the exercise of any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral, whether available under any Collateral Document, pursuant to applicable law or otherwise, together with all other proceeds received by any Secured Party (including all funds received in respect of post-petition interest or fees and expenses) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such rights or remedies or from the collection, disposition or other realization on the Collateral or as a result of any distribution of or in respect of any Collateral (whether or not expressly characterized as such) upon or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor (including, without limitation, any such distribution which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Second-Lien Obligations), or the application of any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or proceeds thereof) upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Grantor, shall be paid over to the First-Lien Agent, for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties, and applied by the First-Lien Agent to the First-Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of Letters of Credit and Secured Rate Contracts) in such order as specified in the

relevant First-Lien Collateral Document. Upon the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations, the First-Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second-Lien Agent any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Second-Lien Agent to the Second-Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second-Lien Loan Documents.

4.2 Payments Over. Until such time as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3 hereof) (or any distribution in respect of the Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral or otherwise that is inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First-Lien Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received, to be applied to the First-Lien Obligations in accordance with the preceding Section 4.1, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First-Lien Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second-Lien Agent or any such other Second-Lien Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) If, in connection with:

(i) the exercise of any of the First-Lien Agent’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral (whether available under any First-Lien Document, pursuant to applicable law or otherwise and including all rights and remedies of a kind described in Section 3.1 hereof), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral (including a sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral with the consent or at the direction of the First-Lien Agent given during the occurrence of an event of default under the First-Lien Documents);

(ii) the entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code authorizing the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral; or

(iii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the First-Lien Loan Documents and the Second-Lien Loan Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the First-Lien Agent’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by preceding sub-clause (i));

there occurs the release by the First-Lien Agent, acting on its own or at the direction of the Required First-Lien Secured Parties, (x) of any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or (y) to the extent that any such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition is of all of the equity interests of a Grantor, of any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First-Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the

Second-Lien Secured Parties, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the Second-Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released (and the Second-Lien Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented under the Second-Lien Loan Documents to the underlying transaction and the foregoing release notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Second-Lien Loan Documents), and the Second-Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second-Lien Secured Parties, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First-Lien Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First-Lien Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release; provided however that if an “event of default” then exists under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement and the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations occurs concurrently with any such release, the Second-Lien Agent (on behalf of the Second-Lien Secured Parties) shall be entitled to receive the residual cash or cash equivalents (if any) remaining after giving effect to such release and the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations.

(b) Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations occurs, the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First-Lien Agent and any officer or agent of the First-Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second-Lien Agent or such other Second-Lien Secured Party or in the First-Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First-Lien Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. Each Second-Lien Secured Party hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted under this Section 5.1(b). No Person to whom this power of attorney is presented, as authority for the First-Lien Agent to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek confirmation from any Second-Lien Secured Party as to the authority of the First-Lien Agent to take any action described herein, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this power of attorney, which is intended to grant to the First-Lien Agent the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein. The Second-Lien Secured Parties irrevocably waive any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any Person which acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c) If, prior to the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, a subordination of the First-Lien Agent’s Lien on any Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the First-Lien Agent to be permitted) under the First-Lien Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the First-Lien Credit Agreement (a “Priority Lien”), then the First-Lien Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the First-Lien Agent or the relevant Grantor an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Second-Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second-Lien Secured Parties to such Priority Lien, in each case, so long as such Priority Lien is otherwise permitted under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the First-Lien Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Secured Parties) shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First-Lien Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First-Lien Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First-Lien Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First-Lien Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, Letters of Credit and Secured Rate Contracts) and, after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, to the Second-Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second-Lien Secured Parties to the extent required under the Second-Lien Loan Documents and then, to the extent no Second-Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Parties shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First-Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

5.3 Amendments to First-Lien Loan Documents and Second-Lien Loan Documents.

(a) The First-Lien Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First-Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Second-Lien Agent or the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the First-Lien Credit Agreement shall not, without the consent of the Second-Lien Agent:

(i) increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate by more than 2.5% per annum (excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate set forth in the First-Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof); or

(ii) provide for the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness under the First-Lien Credit Agreement to exceed the Cap Amount (excluding, however, as a result of capitalization of interest and/or fees thereunder and excluding for the avoidance of doubt, amounts owing on account of Secured Rate Contracts).

(b) Without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Secured Parties), no Second-Lien Loan Document may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second-Lien Loan

Document would contravene the provisions of this Agreement, the First-Lien Credit Agreement or any other First-Lien Loan Document; provided, however, without notice to, or the consent of, the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties, the Second-Lien Credit Agreement may be amended to increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate by up to 2.5% per annum (excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate as set forth in the Second-Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof). Each of the Borrower, each other Grantor and the Second-Lien Agent agrees that each Second-Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First-Lien Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second-Lien Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second-Lien Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Gundle SLT/Environmental, Inc., the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, General Electric Capital Corporation, in its capacity as First-Lien Agent thereunder, and Jefferies Finance LLC, in its capacity as Second-Lien Agent thereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, each of the Borrower, each other Grantor and the Second-Lien Agent agree that each Second-Lien Collateral Document covering any Collateral constituting real property shall contain such other language as the First-Lien Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second-Lien Collateral Document to the First-Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral.

(c) In the event the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor(s) enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First-Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First-Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First-Lien Agent, the other First-Lien Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Second-Lien Credit Agreement and the Comparable Second-Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second-Lien Agent or the other Second-Lien Secured Parties and without any action by the Second-Lien Agent, the Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1 of this Agreement, (ii) imposing additional duties on the Second-Lien Agent without its consent, or (iii) permitting other liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents or Section 6 hereof and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second-Lien Agent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent).

5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the Second-Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents and applicable law in each case in respect of the unsecured portion of their claim. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party of the required payments of interest, premium and principal on the Second-Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them; provided, however, that each Second-Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that, except as otherwise permitted by the First-Lien Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Agent, no Second-Lien Secured Party will take, demand or receive from a Grantor any prepayment of principal (whether optional, voluntary, mandatory or otherwise or by redemption, defeasance or other payment or distribution) with respect to the Second-Lien Obligations. In the event the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First-Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties may have with respect to the First-Lien Collateral.

5.5 Bailee for Perfection.

(a) If the First-Lien Agent holds any Pledged Collateral or other Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) for purposes of perfecting its Lien therein, then, in addition to holding such Pledged Collateral or other Collateral for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First-Lien Documents, it shall be deemed to be holding such Pledged Collateral or other Collateral as contractual representative on behalf of Second-Lien Agent and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. If the Second-Lien Agent holds any Pledged Collateral or other Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), then, in addition to holding such Pledged Collateral or other Collateral for the benefit of the Second-Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents, and without limiting its obligations under this Agreement to deliver such possessory Collateral to the First-Lien Agent, it shall be deemed to be holding such Pledged Collateral or other Collateral as contractual representative on behalf of the First-Lien Agent and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First-Lien Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(b) Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the First-Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First-Lien Loan Documents as if the Liens of the Second-Lien Agent under the Second-Lien Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second-Lien Agent shall at all times be

subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the First-Lien Agent’s rights under the First-Lien Loan Documents.

(c) Neither the First-Lien Agent nor the Second-Lien Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the First-Lien Secured Parties or the Second-Lien Secured Parties to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First-Lien Agent and Second-Lien Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5.

(d) Neither the First-Lien Agent nor the Second-Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall have by reason of the First-Lien Documents, the Second-Lien Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First-Lien Secured Parties or any Second-Lien Secured Party.

(e) Upon the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations, the First-Lien Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second-Lien Agent, if any Second-Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Borrower or the relevant Grantor if no First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations remain outstanding, subject to compliance with any order by a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary.

5.6 When Discharge of First-Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Borrower thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First-Lien Loan Document evidencing a First-Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of First-Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such Refinancing First-Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First-Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First-Lien Agent under such Refinancing First-Lien Loan Documents shall be the First-Lien Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Borrower has entered into a new First-Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second-Lien Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower or such New Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement.

5.7 Option to Purchase First-Lien Debt. (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the First-Lien Secured Parties during the period described in Section 5.7(c) hereof, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant First-Lien Loan Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Second-Lien Obligations as being entitled to exercise all default purchase options as to the Second-Lien Obligations then outstanding (each, an “Eligible Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the First-Lien Secured Parties), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (c) below of this

Section 5.7, all, but not less than all, of the First-Lien Obligations (other than the First-Lien Obligations of a Defaulting Secured Party), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all First-Lien Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) shall be made as follows:

(1) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute First-Lien Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of Letters of Credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding Letters of Credit), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs), (B) in the case of any Secured Rate Contract, the aggregate amount then owing to each Secured Swap Provider thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Secured Rate Contract, including without limitation all amounts owing to such Secured Swap Provider as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof (although if any such Secured Rate Contract is not so terminated on or prior to the date of purchase, an additional amount reasonably determined by the respective Secured Swap Provider party to such Secured Rate Contract to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such Secured Rate Contract) plus (C) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, penalties, indemnities and other amounts through the date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the respective Eligible Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment documentation described below) to (i) reimburse each issuing lender (or any First-Lien Secured Party required to pay same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with respect to any Letters of Credit constituting First-Lien Obligations which remain outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7, together with all facing fees and other amounts which may at any future time be owing to the respective issuing lender with respect to such Letters of Credit, (ii) reimburse the First-Lien Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First-Lien Obligations and/or as to which the First-Lien Secured Parties have not yet received final payment and (iii) pay over to the First-Lien Secured Parties any amounts recovered by such Eligible Purchasers on account of any acceleration prepayment premiums or penalties with respect to the First-Lien Obligations;

(2) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any First-Lien Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any First-Lien Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representation and warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the First-Lien Credit Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible Purchaser or Eligible

Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the First-Lien Obligations); provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such Letter of Credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the cash collateral account described in clause (a)(3) below, until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii) thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers;

(3) with such purchase accompanied by a deposit of cash collateral under the sole dominion and control of the First-Lien Agent or its designee in an amount equal to 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to the First-Lien Loan Documents and the aggregate facing and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), as security for the respective Eligible Purchaser’s or Eligible Purchasers’ obligation to pay amounts as provided in preceding clause (a)(1)(y), it being understood and agreed that (x) at the time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit, the First-Lien Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (y) upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the First-Lien Agent shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After giving effect to any payment made as described above in this clause (3), those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the First-Lien Agent as described in this clause (3) which exceed 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be returned to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers (as their interests appear). Furthermore, at such time as all Letters of Credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above have been made, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in this clause (3) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers, as their interests appear;

(4) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) accompanied by a waiver by the Second-Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties) of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 5.7;

(5) with all amounts payable to the various First-Lien Secured Parties in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the First-Lien Agent in accordance with their respective holdings of the various First-Lien Obligations; and

(6) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the First-Lien

Agent (with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make such payment, by the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers, who shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the First-Lien Agent and each other First-Lien Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant First-Lien Loan Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.7.

(b) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 5.7(a) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least five, and no more than ten Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers) given to the First-Lien Agent by an Eligible Purchaser. Neither the First-Lien Agent nor any other First-Lien Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Purchaser, the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.

(c) The right to purchase the First-Lien Obligations as described in this Section 5.7 may only be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (b) stating a purchase date that occurs at least five, but no more than ten, Business Days after such notice is delivered to First-Lien Agent) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the Loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the Loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Borrower which constitutes an event of default under the First-Lien Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within such three Business Day Period, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting First-Lien Obligations remain owing), and (2) ends on the 10th Business Day after the start of the period described in clause (1) above.

(d) The obligations of the First-Lien Secured Parties to sell their respective First-Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 are several and not joint and several. To the extent any First-Lien Secured Party (a “Defaulting Secured Party”) breaches its obligation to sell its First-Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to require the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting Secured Party’s First-Lien Obligations for resale to the holders of Second-Lien Obligations and in all cases, the First-Lien Agent and each First-Lien Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 5.7 shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall require any Eligible Purchaser to purchase less than all of the First-Lien Obligations.

(e) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible Purchasers pursuant to this Section 5.7 (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant First-Lien Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such First-Lien Documents) for purposes of

all First-Lien Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.

(f) The purchase price and cash collateral described in Section 5.7(a) shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account of the First-Lien Agent in New York, New York, as the First-Lien Agent may designate in writing to the Eligible Purchasers for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Eligible Purchasers to the bank account designated by the First-Lien Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Eligible Purchasers to the bank account designated by the First-Lien Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time.

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. (a) If the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First-Lien Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Secured Parties) shall desire to permit the use of Cash Collateral on which the First-Lien Agent or any other creditor of the Borrower or any other Grantor has a Lien or to permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing (including on a priming basis), whether from the First-Lien Secured Parties or any other third party under Section 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law (each, a “Post-Petition Financing”), then the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing (and shall be deemed to have waived any such objections) and will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed in writing by the First-Lien Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3 hereof) so long as (i) (a) the Post-Petition Financing does not compel such Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the Post-Petition Financing documentation or a related document or (b) the Post-Petition Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the Post-Petition Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order, (ii) the Indebtedness under the Post-Petition Financing (other than such Indebtedness constituting First-Lien Obligations) is not secured by any Lien on any asset or property of any Grantor on a basis that is senior to the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations unless such Liens are senior to, or pari passu with the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations, and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Post-Petition Financing, when added to the sum of (I) the Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting principal outstanding under the First-Lien Credit Agreement (except if part of the Post-Petition Financing and/or if representing interest and/or fees that have been capitalized) plus (II) the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued but not reimbursed under the First-Lien Credit Agreement, does not exceed the sum of (1) the Cap Amount then in effect plus (2) $30,000,000. To the extent the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with any Liens securing such Post-Petition Financing, the Liens of the Second-Lien Secured Parties on the Collateral shall be deemed to be subordinated, without any further action

on the part of any person or entity, to (i) the Liens securing such Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), (ii) any “replacement Liens” granted to the First-Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection of their interests in the Collateral and (iii) any “carve-out” agreed to by the First-Lien Agent or the Required First-Lien Secured Parties, and the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations shall have the same priority with respect to the Collateral relative to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations as if such Post-Petition Financing had not occurred. No Second Lien Secured Party shall provide any Post-Petition Financing (other than a Post-Petition Financing approved by the Required First-Lien Secured Parties as contemplated above) without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Agent, which consent may be granted or denied in its sole discretion.

(b) The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that it will raise no objection to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the First-Lien Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that none of them shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Agent, and none of them shall oppose a motion by the First-Lien Agent to lift any such stay.

6.3 Adequate Protection. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that none of them shall (i) oppose, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) (a) any request by the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (or any granting of such request) or (b) any objection by the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection or (ii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral except that, (A) if the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of replacement Liens on the Grantors’ assets, the Second-Lien Secured Parties or the Second-Lien Agent on their behalf may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on the same assets of the Grantors as awarded to the First-Lien Secured Parties, which Lien, however, will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations (including any replacement Liens granted in respect of the First-Lien Obligations), the Liens securing any Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any “carve-out” agreed to by the First-Lien Agent or the Required First-Lien Secured Parties on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the

First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) if the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties are granted non-monetary adequate protection in the form of reports, notices, inspection rights, increased or additional insurance policies and similar forms of non-monetary adequate protection, the Second-Lien Secured Parties or the Second-Lien Agent on their behalf shall be entitled to seek, and if granted receive, from the respective Grantor similar non-monetary adequate protection to the extent provided to the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the failure of the Second-Lien Secured Parties to obtain any adequate protection described in this Section 6.3 shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings and consents of the Second Lien Secured Parties pursuant to Section 6.1. Except as expressly set forth above, the Second-Lien Secured Parties may not seek or accept post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, and the First-Lien Secured Parties may oppose any payments proposed to be made by any Grantor to the Second-Lien Secured Parties. Furthermore, in the event that any Second-Lien Secured Party actually receives any post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the same shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First-Lien Agent, for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second-Lien Secured Party hereby authorizes the First-Lien Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for such Second-Lien Secured Party (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) to be held and/or applied by First-Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of the First-Lien Documents until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations before any of the same shall be made to one or more of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each Second-Lien Secured Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such payments to the First-Lien Agent.

6.4 No Waiver; Reorganization Securities. (a) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First-Lien Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party from objecting on any basis in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party, including the seeking by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party of adequate protection or the assertion by the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Second-Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.

(b) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First-Lien Obligations and on account of Second-Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First-Lien Obligations and on account of the Second-Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.5 Preference Issues. If any First-Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the First-Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the First-Lien Secured Parties shall be

entitled to a reinstatement of First-Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party on account of the Second-Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the First-Lien Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties, for application to the reinstated First-Lien Obligations. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

6.6 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Second-Lien Agent nor any other Second-Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First-Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the First-Lien Secured Parties, and is intended to provide the First-Lien Secured Parties with the right, to receive payment from the Collateral of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (and to the maximum extent permitted by law the parties hereto agree that) the First-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims and Liens) from the Second-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor).

6.7 Waivers. The Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First-Lien Secured Party arising out of the election by any First-Lien Secured Party of the application to the claims of any First-Lien Secured Party of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The Second-Lien Agent and the Second-Lien Secured Parties agree not to initiate or prosecute or join with any other Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding (i) challenging the enforceability of the First-Lien Secured Parties’ claims as fully secured claims with respect to all or part of the First-Lien Obligations or for allowance of any First-Lien Obligations (including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses) or opposing any action by the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties to enforce their rights or remedies arising under the First-Lien Documents in a manner which is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any Liens on assets securing the First-Lien Obligations under the First-Lien Documents or (iii)

asserting any claims which the Grantors may hold with respect to the First-Lien Secured Parties. The First-Lien Secured Parties agree not to initiate or prosecute or join with any person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any Liens on assets securing the Second-Lien Obligations under the Second-Lien Loan Documents.

6.8 Limitations. So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the express written consent of the First-Lien Agent, none of the Second-Lien Secured Parties shall (or shall join with or support any third party making, opposing, objecting or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of the First-Lien Secured Parties or the value of any claims of First-Lien Secured Parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the First-Lien Secured Parties of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First-Lien Secured Parties under the First-Lien Documents, acknowledges that it and the other First-Lien Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First-Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under any First-Lien Document or this Agreement. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges that it and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second-Lien Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second-Lien Loan Documents or this Agreement.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The First-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First-Lien Secured Parties under the First-Lien Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second-Lien Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Second-Lien Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Second-Lien Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that each of the First-Lien Agent and the First-Lien Secured Parties have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First-Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the

perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First-Lien Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective First-Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties shall have no duty to the First-Lien Agent or any of the other First-Lien Secured Parties, and the First-Lien Agent and the other First-Lien Secured Parties shall have no duty to the Second-Lien Agent or any of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any other Grantor (including under the First-Lien Documents and the Second-Lien Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of the First-Lien Secured Parties, the First-Lien Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First-Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any of the Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First-Lien Secured Party or the First-Lien Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First-Lien Documents or any of the Second-Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Grantors under the First-Lien Documents and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), the First-Lien Secured Parties, the First-Lien Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First-Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party, without incurring any liabilities to the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Parties is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(i) make loans and advances to any Grantor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Grantor or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

(ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First-Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First-Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First-Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend,

renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the First-Lien Agent or any of the First-Lien Secured Parties, the First-Lien Obligations or any of the First-Lien Documents;

(iii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First-Lien Collateral or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the First-Lien Secured Parties or the First-Lien Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(iv) settle or compromise any First-Lien Obligation or any other liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First-Lien Obligations) in any manner or order;

(vi) release or discharge any First-Lien Obligation or any guaranty thereof or any agreement or obligation of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or entity with respect thereto.

(c) The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

7.4 Waiver of Liability.

(a) The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, also agrees that the First-Lien Secured Parties and the First-Lien Agent shall have no liability to the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any claim against any First-Lien Secured Party or the First-Lien Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the First-Lien Secured Parties or the First-Lien Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the First-Lien Documents (including, without limitation, any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the First-Lien Collateral), (ii) the collection of the First-Lien Obligations or (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of,

any First-Lien Collateral. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, agrees that the First-Lien Secured Parties and the First-Lien Agent have no duty, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the First-Lien Collateral, the First-Lien Obligations or otherwise. Neither the First-Lien Agent nor any other First-Lien Secured Party nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or any other Grantor or upon the request of the Second-Lien Agent, any other holder of Second-Lien Obligations or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each Second-Lien Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Second-Lien Collateral Documents agrees that neither the First-Lien Agent nor any other First-Lien Secured Party (in directing the First-Lien Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner, including as a result of the application of the principles of marshaling or otherwise, that would maximize the return to any class of Secured Parties holding Obligations of any type (whether First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations), notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such class of Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.

(b) With respect to its share of the Obligations, GE Capital or Jefferies Finance, as the case may be ( each a “Bank” and together, the “Banks”) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder as, and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for, any other Secured Party, all as if the Banks were not the First-Lien Agent or the Second-Lien Agent, as the case may be. The term “Secured Parties” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Bank, in its individual capacity as a Secured Party. The Banks and their respective affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Grantors or any of their respective Affiliates as if the Banks were not acting as the First-Lien Agent or Second-Lien Agent, as the case may be, and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

7.5 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First-Lien Agent and the other First-Lien Secured Parties and the Second-Lien Agent and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder (including the Lien priorities established hereby) shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First-Lien Document or any Second-Lien Loan Document;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First-Lien Document or any Second-Lien Loan Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the First-Lien Obligations, or of the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First-Lien Documents or the Second-Lien Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

8.2 Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First-Lien Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second-Lien Agent or any other Second-Lien Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Grantor constituting First-Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable nonbankruptcy law. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to the Borrower or any other Grantor shall include the Borrower or such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Borrower or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (i) with respect to the Second-Lien Agent, the other Second-Lien Secured Parties and the Second-Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement terminate if there are no other Second-Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (2) if there are other Second-Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second-Lien Obligations terminate and (ii) with respect to the First-Lien Agent, the other First-Lien Secured Parties and the First-Lien Obligations, the date of the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First-Lien Secured Parties under Section 6.5 hereof.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Second-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Agent shall be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto; provided that (x) the First-Lien Agent (at the direction of the Required First-Lien Secured Parties) may, without the written consent of any other Secured Party, agree to modifications of this Agreement for the purpose of securing additional extensions of credit (including pursuant to the First-Lien Credit Agreement or any Refinancing or extension thereof) and adding new creditors as “First-Lien Secured Parties” and “Secured Parties” hereunder, so long as such extensions (and resulting additions) do not otherwise give rise to a violation of the express terms of the First-Lien Credit Agreement or the Second-Lien Credit Agreement and (y) additional Grantors may be added as parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.18 of this Agreement. Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights, interests, liabilities or privileges are directly affected.

8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.
