If the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.02(c)(ii) that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Revolving Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office or the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, will not fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrower on such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made

by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall within 3 Business Days of such notice pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(iv) Nothing in this Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

(d) (i) With respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(c), on Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a “Settlement Period”), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving Loan Lender’s initial funding), each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day) make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if the Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Borrower for repayment, each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving Loan Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Revolving Loan Lenders in the then outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, immediately after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Revolving Loan Lender’s interest in the then outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender under this Section 2.02(d) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Loan Lender.

(ii) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan

Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall within 3 Business Days of such notice pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

(a) The outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(b) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be repayable in consecutive quarterly installments, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October commencing on October 1, 2007 and ending on the Final Maturity Date, consisting of quarterly payments, each of which is equal to $250,000. The outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Final Maturity Date.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (c) or (d) of this Section 2.03 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and

interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.08) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the making of such Revolving Loan until the date on which such principal amount is repaid in accordance herewith, as follows: (i) if the relevant Revolving Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 3.25 percentage points, and (ii) otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 1.75 percentage points.

(b) Term Loan. The Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the making of the Term Loan until the date on which such principal amount is repaid in accordance herewith, as follows: (i) if the relevant portion of the Term Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 3.25 percentage points, and (ii) otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 1.75 percentage points.

(c) Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Loans, fees, indemnities, or any other Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate applicable thereto.

(i) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Reference Rate, the Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (A) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, however, that, subject to the following clauses (B) and (C), in the case of any Interest Period greater than 3 months in duration, interest shall be payable at 3 month intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, (B) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Collateral Agent on behalf thereof elect to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (C) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans hereunder.

(A) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of the Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Administrative Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Commitment of the type to which such LIBOR Notice relates.

(B) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of (1) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (2) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (3) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Administrative Agent or any Lender, be equal to the lesser of (i) the actual loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a direct result of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), or (ii) the amount determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Administrative Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(C) The Borrower shall have not more than 8 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. The Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(iii) Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Administrative Agent of proceeds of Collections in accordance with Section 4.04 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with subsection (ii) above; provided that the foregoing obligation shall not be applicable to any mandatory prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(c).

(A) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (1) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (2) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under subsection (ii)(B) above).

(B) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and the Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to

each other Lender and (1) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans, and (2) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(v) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans but only if actual damages are incurred.

(e) Interest Payment in respect of Reference Rate Loans. Interest on each Reference Rate Loan shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which such Loan is made and at maturity (whether upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 4.02 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.

(f) General. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed. Interest on all other amounts shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed.

(i) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. The Borrower may, without premium or penalty, reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.02. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000 (unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $500,000), shall be made by providing not less than 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once so reduced, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(ii) Term Loan Commitments. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall terminate upon the making of the Term Loan on the Restatement Effective Date.

(i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may prepay without penalty or premium the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part.

(ii) Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Final Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).

(iii) Prepayment In Full. The Borrower may, upon at least 10 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate this Agreement by paying to the Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and executing and delivering a general release in connection with such payoff. If the Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to this clause (iii), then the Lenders’ obligations to extend credit hereunder shall terminate and the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) and execute and deliver a general release, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Borrower may rescind such a notice of termination by providing written notice of such rescission by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) 1 Business Day prior to the date set forth in such notice of termination as the date of termination of this Agreement.

(i) The Borrower will prepay the Revolving Loans within 1 Business Day of any date that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess.

(ii) The Borrower will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in the event that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated for any reason.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall on each Business Day apply all funds transferred to or deposited in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.04(b); provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the foregoing shall not apply to amounts that are prepaid or required to be prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(iv) Within 10 days of delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of audited annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), commencing with the delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of the financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2007 or, if such financial statements are not delivered to the Agents and the Lenders on the date such statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), 10 days after the date such statements are required to be delivered to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), the Borrower shall, (A) if such financial statements demonstrate that the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is greater than or equal to 3.0:1.0, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the result of (y) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, minus (z) the amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan made during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or (B) if such financial statements demonstrate that the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is less than 3:0:1.0, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the result of (y) 25% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, minus (z) the amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan made during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii).

(v) Within 3 Business Days following the receipt of any proceeds of any Disposition by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries (other than a Permitted Disposition of the type described in clauses (b), (c), or (l) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries (and not paid to Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Obligations) for all such Dispositions shall exceed $500,000 in any Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds of Dispositions shall not be required to be applied in mandatory prepayment of the Loans (the “Reinvestment Option”) so long as (A) such proceeds are used to replace the properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid or to acquire other properties assets which are useful to the Borrower in the ordinary course of its business, consistent with past practices, including Permitted Acquisitions (the “Disposition Permitted Uses”), (B) the Borrower delivers a certificate (a “Reinvestment Notice”) to the Agents within 15 days after the date of the Disposition, stating that such proceeds shall be used for one of the Disposition Permitted Uses within a period specified in the Reinvestment Notice not to exceed the earlier of (1) 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds (provided that if the Borrower becomes subject, within 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds, to a binding obligation to use the proceeds for one of the Disposition Permitted Uses, such 180 day period shall be extended to a 360 day period), and (2) the Final Maturity Date, and (C) such proceeds are deposited in a deposit account subject to a Account Control Agreement; provided that the Reinvestment Option shall in no event be available for (x) the proceeds from a Permitted Disposition of the type described in clause (d) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions, (y) the proceeds from a Permitted Acquisition Disposition if the consideration paid or payable in respect of the Subject Proposed Acquisition is solely Excess Cash Flow Consideration, or (z) a portion of the proceeds from a Permitted Acquisition Disposition if the consideration paid or payable in respect of the Subject Proposed Acquisition is both Excess Cash Flow Consideration and Non-Excess Cash Flow Consideration in an amount equal to the total value of all proceeds received

from such Permitted Acquisition Disposition multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the Excess Cash Flow Consideration paid or payable in respect of the Subject Proposed Acquisition and the denominator of which is the total value of all consideration paid or payable in respect of the Subject Proposed Acquisition. If all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to the prepayment of the Loans are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within the period specified in the Reinvestment Notice furnished pursuant to this subsection (v), such remaining portion shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) on the last day of such specified period. Nothing contained in this subsection (v) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than a Permitted Disposition.

(vi) Upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (h) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and other than Subordinated Indebtedness incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (vi) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(vii) Within 3 Business Days following the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock (other than (A) pursuant to the exercise of stock options issued by the Parent in connection with any stock incentive plan or other employee incentive plan, (B) to the extent used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, and (C) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent sold or issued in connection with a Qualified IPO), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (vii) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale or issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(viii) Within 3 Business Days following the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, proceeds of Extraordinary Receipts described in clause (ii) of the definition of Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required to be applied in mandatory prepayment of the Loans so long as (x) such proceeds are used to replace, repair or restore the properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid or to acquire other properties or assets which are useful to the Borrower in the ordinary course of its business, consistent with past practices (the “Extraordinary Receipts Permitted Uses”), (y) the Borrower delivers a Reinvestment Notice to the Agents within 15 days after the date of the loss or destruction, as the case may be, stating that such proceeds will be used for one of the Extraordinary Receipts Permitted Uses within a period specified in the Reinvestment Notice not to exceed the earlier of (A) 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds (provided that if the Borrower becomes subject, within 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds, to a binding

obligation to use the proceeds for one of the Extraordinary Receipts Permitted Uses, such 180 day period shall be extended to a 360 day period), and (B) the Final Maturity Date, and (z) such proceeds are deposited in a deposit account subject to a Account Control Agreement. If all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to the prepayment of the Loans are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within the period specified in the Reinvestment Notice furnished pursuant this subsection (viii), such remaining portion shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) on the last day of such specified period.

(ix) Within 3 Business Days following the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any foreign, United States, state or local tax refunds, the Borrower shall, (A) if (1) the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00 as of the date of such receipt, or (2) the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries was greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00 as of the last day of the tax period related to such refund, prepay the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of such refunds, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such refunds, or (B) if (1) the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is less than 3.00:1.00 as of the date of such receipt, or (2) the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries was less than 3.00:1.00 as of the last day of the tax period related to such refund, prepay the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 25% of such refunds, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such refunds .

(d) Application of Payments. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to subsections (c)(iv), (c)(v), (c)(vi), (c)(vii), (c)(viii), and (c)(ix) above, first, up to 75% of the amount of the proceeds required to be used to prepay the Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Loans (without a reduction in the Revolving Commitment), until paid in full, and second, the remaining amount of the proceeds required to be used to prepay the Loans shall be applied to the Term Loan, until paid in full. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Final Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).

(e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 (other than prepayments made pursuant to subsection (c)(iii) of this Section 2.05) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and if such prepayment would reduce the amount of the outstanding Loans to zero at a time when the Total Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06.

(f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06 Fees. In addition to the fees set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.07 Securitization. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Borrower shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose additional costs (other than costs in a de minimis amount) on the Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not adversely affect the rights (other than effects of a de minimis nature), or increase the obligations (other than increases of a de minimis nature), of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrower the financial terms of the Loans, and (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization.

Section 2.08 Taxes. (a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.08, all such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future income, franchise, sales, use, excise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction (whether pursuant to United States Federal, state, local or foreign law) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities, excluding (A) taxes on the net income of, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes), and branch profit taxes of, any Lender or any Agent imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or such Agent is organized or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or any jurisdiction in which such Person’s principal office or relevant lending office is located or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof, (B) any taxes that are attributable to such Lender’s or such Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.08(c) except to the extent that such Lender’s failure to comply is the result of a Change In Law occurring after the date that such Lender became a party hereunder that results in such Lender not being able to legally deliver the forms described in such Section, or (C) any taxes that are imposed as a result of any event occurring after the Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent other than a Change In Law (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings, restrictions, conditions, interest, penalties, and other similar liabilities being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required by law, rule, regulation or any interpretation of any relevant Governmental Authority to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder,

(i) the amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including Taxes on amounts payable to the Lenders or the Agents pursuant to this sentence) the Lenders and the Agents receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made,

(iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Loan Party shall send the Lenders and the Agents an official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders and/or the Agents, as the case may be) showing payment. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation or filing of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than the foregoing excluded taxes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b) The Loan Parties will indemnify the Lenders and the Agents for the amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by any Lender or any Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Lender or any such Agent makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification is being sought and the basis of the claim. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other 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 2.08, it promptly shall notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall make a timely claim to such taxation authority for such refund at the Borrower’s expense. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) or a permanent net tax benefit in respect of any Taxes or Other 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 2.08, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund or permanent net tax benefit to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such taxation authority or loses such net tax benefit.

(i) it shall, no later than the Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.08 hereof after the Restatement Effective Date, on or before the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto), and from time to time thereafter as may be required by the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from United States withholding tax, deliver to the Agents: (A) an accurate, complete and signed original and one copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form, (B) an accurate, complete and signed original and one copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor form, or (C) an accurate, complete and signed original and one copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or successor form, in each case, indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and fees for the account of its lending office under this Agreement, if applicable, free from withholding of United States Federal income tax;

(ii) if at any time such Lender changes its lending office or offices or selects an additional lending office for purposes of this Agreement, it shall, at the same time or reasonably promptly thereafter, deliver to the Agents the appropriate forms as described in clause (i) above in replacement for, or in addition to, the forms previously delivered by it hereunder;

(iii) it shall deliver the appropriate forms as described in clause (i) above promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Agents at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered forms to the Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

(iv) if such Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the IRC is claiming an exemption from withholding of United States Federal income tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the IRC, such Lender represents and warrants that such Lender is (A) not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC and (C) not a CFC receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and such Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the IRC agrees that it shall provide the Agents with prompt notice at any time after becoming a Lender hereunder in the event that at such time it could no longer make any of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the IRC, other than a Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Restatement Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.08, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto, deliver to the Agents an accurate, complete and signed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 2.08, such Loan Party shall indemnify the Lenders and the Agents for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Agents with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (c) above (other than if such failure is due to a Change In Law occurring after the date on which such form, certificate or other document was initially required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to additional amounts or indemnification under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure unless such failure is cured.

(f) Any Lender claiming additional amounts or an indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.08 agrees to use reasonable efforts (if requested in writing to do so by the Borrower and subject to such Lender’s internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if (i) the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such additional amounts or indemnification payments, (ii) would not require such Lender to disclose any information such Lender deems confidential, and (iii) would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.02 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest

and fees received from or for the account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) all out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Agents and Lenders shall be invoiced to the Borrower with payment terms of Net 30, and shall be charged to the Loan Account only if the Borrower fails to pay any invoice in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with at least 3 Business Days notice prior to the due date of any required payment of interest, which notice shall specify the amount and due date of such interest payment, and such interest payment shall be charged to the Loan Account only if the Borrower fails to make such interest payment on the due date specified in such notice. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees, subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Loan hereunder made by the Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrower during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrower during such month, the amount of charges to the Loan Account, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, 30 days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be

rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.04 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof and to any written agreement among the Agents and/or the Lenders:

(a) all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the audit and collateral monitoring fees provided for in Section 4.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to the Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, to pay interest due in respect of the Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (iii) third, to pay principal of the Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Revolving Loan Lenders until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Revolving Loans until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably, (A) in an amount up to the Hedging Reserve established prior to the occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default, to pay the principal of the Hedging Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of such Obligations) until paid in full, and (B) ratably to pay principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full; (vi) seventh, ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (viii) eighth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full; (ix) ninth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full, and (x) tenth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable until paid in full (including the cash collateralization of any contingent Hedging Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of such Hedging Obligations).

(d) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(e) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 4.04 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 4.04 shall control and govern.

Section 4.05 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Lender, or any Agent shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender, or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent with any request or directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent (in each case, whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) subject any Lender, any Agent, or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Lender or such Agent or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income of any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Loan, or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent or (iii) impose on any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to any Lender, or any Agent of making any Loan by an amount which such Lender or Agent deems material, or agreeing to make any Loan or to reduce any amount received or receivable by any Lender or any Agent hereunder, then, upon demand by any such Lender or any such Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(b) If any Lender or any Agent shall have determined that any Capital Guideline or the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any Capital Guideline by the Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender, or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent with any Capital Guideline or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority with respect to any Capital Guideline, or the implementation of, or any change in, any applicable accounting principles (in each case, whether or not having the force of law), either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Agent, and any Lender or any Agent determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, any Lender’s, any Agent’s or any such other controlling Person’s

other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s, any Agent’s or any such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Lender, such Agent or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, or any agreement to make Loans, or such Lender’s, such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Lender’s, such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by any Lender or any Agent the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Agent from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Agent for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Lender’s, such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.

(c) All amounts payable under this Section 4.05 shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any Lender or any Agent until payment in full to such Lender or such Agent at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Lender or such Agent claiming compensation under this Section 4.05, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Lender or such Agent to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Lender’s, or such Agent’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 4.05, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, an Agent, or any Person controlling such Lender or Agent or pursuant to this Section 4.05 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered unless such Lender, Agent or controlling Person, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower of the change in law or other action described in Section 4.05(a) or 4.05(b) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and such Lender’s, Agent’s or controlling Person’s intention to claim compensation therefore, within 180 days after such Lender, Agent or controlling Person, as applicable, receives notice that it will suffer an increased cost or reduced return.

(d) If any Lender, Agent, or any Person controlling such Lender or Agent requests compensation or indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.05, then, upon the written request of the Borrower, such Lender, Agent, or Person controlling such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 12.08) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender, Agent, or Person controlling such Lender or Agent (as applicable) to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, Agent, or Person controlling such Lender or Agent (as applicable).

(e) If any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under either Section 2.08 or this Section 4.05, the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, permanently replace such Increased-Cost Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and such Increased-Cost Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Increased-Cost Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 10 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the

effective date of such replacement, the Increased-Cost Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Increased-Cost Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations. If the Increased-Cost Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Increased-Cost Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Increased-Cost Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Person composing the Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Persons composing the Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Persons composing the Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of the Persons composing the Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Persons composing the Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 4.06), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Persons composing the Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the Persons composing the Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Persons composing the Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Persons composing the Borrower under the provisions of this Section 4.06 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of the Persons composing the Borrower, enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.06 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Persons composing the Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Persons composing the Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Persons composing the Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 4.06 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.

(c) No Person composing the Borrower will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any guarantor that arise from the

existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Person’s obligations under this Agreement, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agents and the Lenders against any Loan Party or any guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right.

The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc.

be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 10.03 are subject to, and shall not limit in any respect, the provisions of Section 12.08. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and

to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

(a) Each Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent (with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which consent shall not be required (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) if the successor Agent is one of the Agents under this Agreement or was previously an Agent under this Agreement). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the other Agent (and with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which consent shall not be required (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) if the successor Agent is one of the Agents under this Agreement or was previously an Agent under this Agreement) shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the other Agent, appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans, and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.05. The Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on

demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Collateral Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.02. The Collateral Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Loans, and all other Obligations which have matured and which the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(b).

(c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Hedging Providers upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the

Collateral Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its reasonable discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession or control of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Section 11.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim therefor is allowed in such case or proceeding), fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Borrower, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agents or the Lenders (or any of them) in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Agents or the Lenders under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party.

Section 11.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents, the Lenders with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each

Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or

(e) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agents, the Lenders that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agents, the Lenders, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 11.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article and any requirement that the Agents, the Lenders exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article, and acknowledges that this Article is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

Section 11.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this Article and (ii) the Final Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agents and the Lenders and their successors, pledgees, transferees and

assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.08.

Section 11.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agents and the Lenders against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article shall have been paid in full in cash and the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article and the Final Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agents and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agents and the Lenders of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) all Commitments have been terminated, the Agents and the Lenders will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

Section 12.01 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to any Loan Party, at the following address:

or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 12.01.

All such notices and other communications shall be effective, (i) if mailed, when received or 3 days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received, or (iii) if delivered, upon delivery, except that notices to any Agent pursuant to Articles II and III shall not be effective until received by such Agent, as the case may be.

Section 12.02 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Secured Hedging Agreements), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders or by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans payable to any Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend any date fixed for any reduction in the Commitments or any payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, the Loans payable to any Lender, in each case without the written consent of any Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Total Commitment without the written consent of each Lender, (iii) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (iv) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”, (v) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), subordinate any Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Hedging Providers, or release the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than, with respect to a release of a Guarantor, in connection with a merger, dissolution or other corporate change expressly permitted by Sections 7.02(c)(i), (ii), or (iii), in which case no consent of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent shall be required), (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 4.04 or this Section 12.02 of this Agreement, or (vii) amend the definition of “Borrowing Base”, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an Agent, affect the rights or duties of such Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(a) If any action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders and (i) at least the Required Lenders have consented to such action and (ii) a Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then the Collateral Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any

premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.08. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Loans.

Section 12.04 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

Section 12.05 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower will pay on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of counsel for each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m) below, each Lender), accounting, due diligence, periodic field audits, physical counts, valuations, investigations, searches and filings, monitoring of assets, appraisals of Collateral, title searches and reviewing environmental assessments, miscellaneous disbursements, examination, travel, lodging and meals, arising from or relating to: (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Agents’ or the Lenders’ claims against any Loan Party, or any and all matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in, any court proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral or other security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (g) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession of or liquidation of, any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (h) any attempt to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) any attempt to collect from any Loan Party, (j) all liabilities and costs arising from or in connection with the

past, present or future operations of any Loan Party involving any damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property, (k) any Environmental Liabilities and Costs incurred in connection with the investigation, removal, cleanup and/or remediation of any Hazardous Materials present or arising out of the operations of any facility owned or operated by any Loan Party, (l) any Environmental Liabilities and Costs incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien, or (m) the receipt by any Agent or any Lender of any advice from professionals with respect to any of the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document: (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to save each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions, (y) the Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (z) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the Borrower.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Collateral Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any deposit accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Collateral Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void.

(b) Each Lender may, with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans made by it). Each such assignment shall be in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund). The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required if the assignee is an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund). Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least 3 Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto); provided, however, that no assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.08 or Section 4.05 than the assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive thereunder except to the extent that the entitlement to such payment under Section 2.08 or Section 4.05 is the result of a Change In Law occurring after the effective date of the assignment to such assignee. For the sake of clarity, any assignee claiming the benefits of Section 2.08 shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.08(c). Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.08(b) notwithstanding, without the consent of the Borrower, no Lender shall assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Person who is a direct

competitor of the Borrower (if and only if such assigning Lender has actual knowledge that such proposed assignee is a direct competitor of the Borrower); provided that the foregoing restriction shall not be applicable if (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the Lender making such assignment, or (3) the proposed assignee is a finance company, fund or other similar entity which merely has an economic interest in any such direct competitor that has been so identified, and is not itself such a direct competitor that has been so identified.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Collateral Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans (the “Registered Loans”) owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any promissory notes subject to such assignment, the Collateral Agent shall, if the Collateral Agent consents to such assignment and if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s) and the old registered note, if any, shall be returned by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled”. Prior to the registration of the assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any sale, assignment, or subparticipation of any such participation in a Registered Loan (and the participation certificate or other document, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such sale, assignment, or subparticipation on the Participant Register.

(h) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or the Borrower or any Guarantor (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 4.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender, and that all payments under Section 2.08 or Section 4.05 shall be determined as if such

Lender had not sold such participation. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.08(h) notwithstanding, without the consent of the Borrower, no Lender shall sell participations in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Person who is a direct competitor of the Borrower if the selling Lender has actual knowledge that the proposed participant is a direct competitor of the Borrower; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not be applicable if (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) such participation is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the Lender selling such participation, or (3) the proposed participant is a finance company, fund or other similar entity which merely has an economic interest in any such direct competitor that has been so identified, and is not itself such a direct competitor that has been so identified.

Section 12.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

Section 12.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any Loan Party is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.

If any claim is ever made upon any Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent, such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent, such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent, such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Agent, such Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent, such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Agent, such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Agent, such Lender.

Section 12.16 Indemnification. In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 12.16 for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Such indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.16 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This Indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the discharge of the Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.17 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 12.18 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.08 hereof.

Section 12.19 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at an time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.19 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such

Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.18.

For purposes of this Section 12.19, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.

Section 12.20 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable companies, any material non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (ii) to counsel for any Agent or any Lender, (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties, (iv) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 12.20. Each Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or identification; provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that each Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof and that each Agent and each Lender may be subject to review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information.

Section 12.21 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

Section 12.22 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

Section 12.23 Acknowledgment of Prior Obligations and Continuation Thereof; No Novation.

(a) Each Loan Party (i) consents to the amendment and restatement of the Original Financing Agreement by this Agreement; (ii) acknowledges and agrees that (A) its obligations owing to Agents and Lenders, and (B) the prior grant or grants of security interests in favor of Agents and Lenders in its properties and assets, under each “Loan Document” as defined in the Original Financing Agreement (the “Original Loan Documents”) and each Loan Document to which it is a party shall be in respect of the obligations of such Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) reaffirms (A) all of its obligations owing to Agents and Lenders, and (B) all prior grants of security interests in favor of Agents and Lenders under each Original Loan Document and each Loan Document; and (iv) agrees that, except as expressly amended hereby or unless being amended and restated concurrently herewith, each of the Original Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. The Borrower acknowledges that, as of the Restatement Effective Date, under the Original Financing Agreement: (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Existing Revolving Loans is $81,000,000, (2) the accrued but unpaid interest on such Existing Revolving Loans is $760,317.05, (3) the aggregate accrued but unpaid unused line fee under the Original Financing Agreement is $20,784.25, and (4) the aggregate accrued but unpaid servicing fee under the Original Financing Agreement is $0. The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all outstanding principal, interest and fees (including such accrued and unpaid principal, interest, and fees set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) and other obligations under the Original Financing Agreement immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall, to the extent not paid on the Restatement Effective Date, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, be, without duplication, Obligations owing and payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, shall accrue interest thereon as specified in this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Original Financing Agreement or discharge or release the obligations or the liens or priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Original Financing Agreement, the other Original Loan Documents or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Original Financing Agreement or any of the security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, guaranties or other loan documents executed in connection therewith. Each Loan Party hereby (i) confirms and agrees that each Original Loan Document to which it is a party that is not being amended and restated concurrently herewith is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Restatement Effective Date, all

references in any such Original Loan Document to “the Financing Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Original Financing Agreement shall mean the Original Financing Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement; and (ii) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Original Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to any Agent or Lenders or to grant to any Agent or Lenders a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of such Loan Party from time to time existing in respect of the Original Financing Agreement or the Original Loan Document, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(c) Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.23 notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Measure Up, Inc. is a Guarantor, not a Person composing the Borrower, hereunder. Accordingly, as of the Restatement Effective Date, (i) the Agents and Lenders hereby release Measure Up, Inc. from any and all of its obligations and liabilities as a Person composing the Borrower under, and as defined in, the Original Financing Agreement and the other Original Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that Measure Up, Inc. will have all of the obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents), and (ii) the Loan Parties hereby agree that Measure Up, Inc. shall not have (A) the rights of a Person composing the Borrower under, and as defined in, the Original Financing Agreement or the other Original Loan Documents, or (B) the rights of a Person composing the Borrower hereunder or the other Loan Documents. As set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 12.23, Measure Up, Inc. hereby confirms and agrees that to the extent that any Original Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to any Agent or Lenders or to grant to any Agent or Lenders a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of Measure Up, Inc. from time to time existing in respect of the Original Financing Agreement or the Original Loan Document, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

Although each Loan Party has been informed of the matters set forth in this Section 12.23 and has acknowledged and agreed to same, it understands that Agents and Lenders shall have no obligation to inform it of such matters in the future or to seek its acknowledgement or agreement to future amendments or modifications, and nothing herein shall create such a duty.

9. This Assignment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Assignment Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

(e) Obligations of Each Obligor Not Affected. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, each Obligor hereby agrees that at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of such Obligor, without incurring responsibility to such Obligor, and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein or otherwise impairing the rights of the Lender Group hereunder: (i) the time for any other Obligor’s performance of or compliance with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived by the Lender Group or

Collateral Agent on behalf thereof; (ii) the agreements of any other Obligor with respect to the Loan Documents may from time to time be modified by such other Obligor and the Lender Group or Collateral Agent on behalf thereof for the purpose of adding any requirements thereto or changing in any manner the rights and obligations of such other Obligor or the Lender Group thereunder; (iii) the manner, place, or terms for payment of Senior Debt or any portion thereof may be altered or the terms for payment extended, or the Senior Debt may be renewed in whole or in part; (iv) the maturity of the Senior Debt may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of any present or future agreement by any other Obligor and the Lender Group or Collateral Agent on behalf thereof; (v) any Collateral may be sold, exchanged, released, or substituted and any Lien in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group may be terminated, subordinated, or fail to be perfected or become unperfected; (vi) any Person liable in any manner for Senior Debt may be discharged, released, or substituted; and (vii) all other rights against the other Obligor, any other Person, or with respect to any Collateral may be exercised (or the Lender Group or Collateral Agent on behalf thereof may waive or refrain from exercising such rights).

(g) Financial Condition of the Obligors. Except as provided or otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreement or any Loan Document, no Obligor shall have any right to require the Lender Group to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: (i) the financial condition or character of any other Obligor or the ability of the other Obligor to pay and perform Senior Debt; (ii) the Senior Debt; (iii) the Collateral or other security for any or all of the Senior Debt; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any guarantees of, or any other subordination agreements with respect to, all or any part of the Senior Debt; (v) any action or inaction on the part of the Lender Group or any other Person; or (vi) any other matter, fact, or occurrence whatsoever.

Except as permitted under the Financing Agreement, each Obligor shall not, without the prior consent of Collateral Agent, acquire any right or interest in or to any assets of any other Obligor or accept any guaranties from any other Obligor or from any other Subsidiary of Borrower for the Subordinated Debt.

(a) Subrogation. Until the payment in full of all Senior Debt, no Obligor shall have, and no Obligor shall directly or indirectly exercise, any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payment or distribution to the Lender Group hereunder or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Debt, each Obligor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lender Group to receive payments or distributions applicable to

the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. For the purposes of the foregoing subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Lender Group of any cash, property, or securities to which any Obligor would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 2, 3, 4, or 5 shall, as among such Obligor, its creditors (other than the Lender Group), and the other Obligor, be deemed to be a payment by the other Obligors to or on account of the Senior Debt.

(b) Payments Over to the Obligors. If any payment or distribution to which any Obligor would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of Section 2, 3, 4, or 5 shall have been applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 2, 3, 4, or 5 to the payment of all amounts payable under the Senior Debt, such Obligor shall be entitled to receive from the Lender Group any payments or distributions received by the Lender Group in excess of the amount sufficient to pay in full all amounts payable under or in respect of the Senior Debt. If any such excess payment is made to the Lender Group, the Lender Group shall promptly remit such excess to such Obligor and until so remitted shall hold such excess payment for the benefit of such Obligor.

(a) Continuing Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Obligor until payment in full of the Senior Debt. The subordinations, agreements, and priorities set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether any party hereto in the future seeks to rescind, amend, terminate, or reform, by litigation or otherwise, its respective agreements with the other Obligor.

(b) Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Senior Debt by or on behalf of any other Obligor shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender Group under Section 12.14 of the Financing Agreement.

SECTION 11 Transfer of Subordinated Debt. No Obligor may assign or transfer its rights and obligations in respect of the Subordinated Debt (except that (a) any Obligor may assign its right to payment of the Subordinated Debt to the Borrower, (b) any Obligor (other than Borrower) may assign its right to payment of the Subordinated Debt to any Guarantor, (c) the Borrower may assign its obligation to pay the Subordinated Debt to any other Obligor, (d) any Guarantor may assign its obligation to pay the Subordinated Debt to any other Guarantor, (e) any Obligor (other than the Borrower or a Guarantor) may assign its obligation to pay the Subordinated Debt to any other Obligor (other than the Borrower or a Guarantor)) without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, and any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the Subordinated Debt shall agree to be bound hereby, in form reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

SECTION 12 Obligations of the Obligors Not Affected. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of each Obligor against the other Obligors, on the one hand, and of the Lender Group against the Obligors, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) impair, as between each Obligor and the other Obligors, the obligation of the other Obligors to pay their respective obligations with

respect to the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable, or (ii) otherwise affect the relative rights of each Obligor against the other Obligors, on the one hand, and of the creditors (other than the Lender Group) of the other Obligors against the other Obligors, on the other hand.

SECTION 13 Endorsement of Obligor Documents; Further Assurances and Additional Acts.

(a) Endorsement of Obligor Documents. At the reasonable request of Collateral Agent, all documents and instruments evidencing any of the Subordinated Debt, if any, shall be endorsed with a legend noting that such documents and instruments are subject to this Agreement, and each Obligor shall promptly deliver to Collateral Agent evidence of the same.

SECTION 14 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Financing Agreement.

SECTION 15 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender Group or Collateral Agent on behalf thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Lender Group.

SECTION 16 Costs and Expenses. Each of the Obligors, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Lender Group, on demand, the (a) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender Group, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lender Group in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of this Agreement, and any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the terms thereof; and (b) the costs and expenses of the Lender Group and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of rights or interests under, this Agreement, including any losses, costs, and expenses sustained by the Lender Group as a result of any failure by any Obligor to perform or observe its obligations contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 17 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Senior Debt remains unpaid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Obligor under Section 16 shall survive the satisfaction of the Senior Debt.

SECTION 18 Benefits of Agreement. This Agreement is entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement.

SECTION 19 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Obligor and the Lender Group and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 20 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 21 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY (i) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, (ii) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS, OR AT THE SOLE OPTION OF AGENT, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH AGENT SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY AND (iii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT NOW OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS, AND ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUND THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of each of the Obligors and the Lender Group with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes any prior agreements, commitments, drafts, communications, discussions, and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment to any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Obligors and Collateral Agent; and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent. Any such amendment, waiver, or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 23 Conflicts. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and any documents or instruments in respect of the Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, then the terms of this Agreement shall control.

SECTION 24 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 25 Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between, and have been reviewed by the respective counsel to, the Obligors and the several members of the Lender Group and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement shall not be construed against the Lender Group merely because of their involvement in the preparation hereof.

SECTION 26 Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

SECTION 27 Termination of Agreement. Upon payment in full of the Senior Debt, and the full and final termination of any commitment to extend any financial accommodations in connection with the Senior Debt, this Agreement shall terminate and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Group shall promptly execute and deliver to each Obligor such documents and instruments as shall be necessary to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the obligations of each Obligor under Section 16 shall survive such termination.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;

(f) to use any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, advertising matter or other industrial or intellectual property rights, in advertising for sale and selling Inventory and other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and

(g) Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Group shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Collateral Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement.

To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 10. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

11. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any of Grantors fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.

12. Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Hedging Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property.

13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent or Collateral Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Hedging Providers, or that Collateral Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents.

14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Collateral Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Collateral Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential

purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Collateral Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Collateral Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Collateral Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral Agent may, at its option, and with 2 Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Collateral Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Collateral Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notice to any of Grantors of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of

sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent.

(c) Any cash held by Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Financing Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantors may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Collateral Agent.

17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Collateral Agent as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Collateral Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Collateral Agent of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18. Marshaling. Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent and the other members of the Lender Group from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Financing Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations and other than any Hedging Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedging Provider to remain outstanding and that are not required by the provisions of this Agreement or the Financing Agreement to be repaid or cash collateralized).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01(f) of the Financing Agreement, Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Collateral Agent (or Administrative Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group costs and expenses which Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any of Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any member of the Lender Group shall be invoiced to the Borrower with payment terms of Net 30 and shall be charged to the Loan Account only if the Borrower fails to pay any invoice in accordance with its terms.

20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies.

21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Collateral Agent at its address specified in the Financing Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Financing Agreement, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Financing Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Hedging Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedging Provider to remain outstanding and that are not required by the provisions of this Agreement or the Financing Agreement to be repaid or cash collateralized) have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of the Financing Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each of Grantors, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Collateral Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any of the Lenders may, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the

provisions of the Financing Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Financing Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such the Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Hedging Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedging Provider to remain outstanding and that are not required by the provisions of this Agreement or the Financing Agreement to be repaid or cash collateralized) in accordance with the provisions of the Financing Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitment, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and this Agreement all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Collateral Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. Subject to Section 28, no transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Financing Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Collateral Agent nor any additional Loans made by any the Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Collateral Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Hedging Providers, or any of them, shall release any of Grantors from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Financing Agreement. Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Collateral Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

23. Governing Law. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

24. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE.

THE FINANCING AGREEMENT. THE GRANTORS AGREE THAT A FINAL NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GRANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GRANTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH LENDER, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH GRANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR COLLATERAL AGENT ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE LENDERS.

26. New Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Financing Agreement and subject to the exclusions contained therein, any new direct or indirect Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or creation) of Borrower is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Collateral Agent an instrument in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.

27. Collateral Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Hedging Providers.

(a) Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is expressly permitted under the Financing Agreement (and which would not result in an Event of Default) to any Person that is not a Grantor, or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent by any Agent, the Lenders, or the Required Lenders as provided under the Financing Agreement to the release of any security interest granted hereby in any or all of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Collateral shall be released. In connection with any such release, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to such Grantor at such Grantor’s sole expense all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

(b) Upon any sale of a Subsidiary of a Grantor (other than the Borrower) that is expressly permitted under the Financing Agreement (and which would not result in an Event of Default) and pursuant to which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of such Grantor, such Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Subsidiary’s interest in any Collateral shall be released.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

(d) The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.

30. Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Upon the effectiveness hereof, this Agreement amends and restates in its entirety as of the Restatement Effective Date that certain Security Agreement dated as of August 31, 2005 by and between Grantors and Collateral Agent (the “Existing Security Agreement”). The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are not intended by the parties to be, and shall not constitute, a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Collateral Agent under the Existing Security Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the security interests in the Collateral pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement is not intended to, nor shall it be construed to, constitute a release of any prior security interests granted by any Grantor in favor of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent in or to any Collateral or any other property of such Grantor, but is intended to constitute a reinstatement and reconfirmation of the prior security interests granted by the Grantors in favor of the Lenders and the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned parties hereto have executed this Agreement by and through their duly authorized officers, as of the day and year first above written.
