If the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan and the Administrative Agent elects not to fund such Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the AdministrativeAgent, in immediately available funds, in the Administrative Agent's Account no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the AdministrativeAgent 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 AdministrativeAgent in the Administrative Agent's Account or the amount funded by the AdministrativeAgent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower which account, unless otherwise so directed by the Borrower in writing, shall be the Concentration Account.

-35-

(iii)If the AdministrativeAgent has notified the Revolving Loan Lenders that the AdministrativeAgent, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, will not fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to subsection 0, the AdministrativeAgent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available to the AdministrativeAgent on such day and the AdministrativeAgent, 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 AdministrativeAgent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the AdministrativeAgent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the AdministrativeAgent 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 AdministrativeAgent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three 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 AdministrativeAgent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the AdministrativeAgent 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 AdministrativeAgent, the AdministrativeAgent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the AdministrativeAgent for its own account.

-36-

(iv)Nothing in this subsection 1)a)ii)(1) 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)(2)With respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 1)a)ii)(1), 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, 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, 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 subsection 1)a)ii)(2) 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 subsection 1)a)ii)(2), 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 three 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 immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this subsection 0 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.

(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 0) 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).

Section 2.04Interest. iv)Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 2.50%. or the Reference Rate plus 1.10%, as applicable.

(f)Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document:

(i)Whenever interest payable by a Canadian Guarantor is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation.

(ii)In no event shall the aggregate "interest" (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c.C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable by a Canadian Guarantor to any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the "credit advanced" (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of "interest" (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Agent, such Lenders and such Canadian Guarantor and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by such Agent and such Lenders to such Canadian Guarantor. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which Canadian Guarantor is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by Canadian Guarantor shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the Loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Canadian Guarantor will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

-39-

(iii)All calculations of interest payable by a Canadian Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

(f)Any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount that may thereafter accrue, would not require such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) to disclose any information such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee).

(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 2.09LIBOR Not Determinable; Illegality. vi) In the event, and on each occasion, that on or before the day on which LIBOR is to be determined for a borrowing that is to include LIBOR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, with respect the Term Loans) has determined in good faith that, or has been advised by the Required Lenders that, (i) LIBOR cannot be reasonably determined for any reason or (ii) Dollar deposits in the principal amount of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans are not available in the interbank eurodollar market where the eurodollar and foreign currency and exchange operations in respect of the Lenders' LIBOR Rate Loans are then being conducted, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrower and the other Lenders. In the event of any such determination, any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 shall, until, (i) in the case of such a determination by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) has been advised by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) has so advised the Borrower that, or (ii) in the case of a determination by the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable), the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) has advised the Borrower and the other Lenders that, the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for a Reference Rate Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) and/or the Required Lenders hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(b)In the event that after the Effective Date, it shall be unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan as contemplated by this Agreement, then such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Term Loans) and the Borrower describing such illegality in reasonable detail. Effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease, and such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) and the Borrower. If any such change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) and the Borrower, and such Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Reference Rate Loans immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, decree, interpretation, request or directive, at the end of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan.

-46-

Section 2.10Indemnity. vii) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender actually sustains or incurs (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan and including loss of anticipated profits) as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Loan Parties to fulfill on the date of any borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Rate Loan hereunder, to convert any Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan or to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan as such after notice of such borrowing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, (iii) any payment, prepayment (mandatory or optional) or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan required by any provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, (iv) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by notice of prepayment or otherwise), or (v) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss (including, without limitation, loss of anticipated profits) or reasonable expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR Rate Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include but not be limited to an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid or prepaid or converted or continued or not borrowed or converted or continued (based on LIBOR applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, continuation or failure to borrow, convert or continue on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in re-employing in the interbank LIBOR market for a comparable Interest Period the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or continued or not borrowed, converted or continued for the Interest Period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 and the basis for the determination of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

-47-

(b)Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) will use reasonable efforts to minimize or reduce any such loss or expense resulting from the mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.05(c) of this Agreement by applying all payments and prepayments to Reference Rate Loans prior to any application of payments to LIBOR Rate Loans, provided that nothing in this Section 2.10(b) shall affect the order of application of payments as set forth in Section 2.05(b), (c) and (d) or Section 4.04(b), as applicable.

Section 2.11Continuation and Conversion of Loans. viii) The Borrower may from time to time request LIBOR Rate Loans or may request that a Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan or that any existing LIBOR Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from the Borrower shall be in writing and shall specify the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans or the amount of the Reference Rate Loans to be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Term Loans) of such a request from the Borrower, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or Reference Rate Loans shall be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans or such LIBOR Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) no more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods ((A) in the case of Revolving Loans, no more than ten (10) Interest Periods, and (B) in the case of Term Loans B, no more than four (4) Interest Periods) may be in effect at any one time, (iv) the aggregate amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $500,000 (or in the case of a Revolving Loan, $200,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (v) the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall not have notified the Borrower that LIBOR Rate Loans are unavailable pursuant to Section 2.09. Any request by or on behalf of the Borrower for LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue any existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agents and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if the Agents and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Loans.

(b)Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Reference Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless the Administrative Agent has received and approved a request to continue such LIBOR Rate Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Rate Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent's option, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, be subsequently converted to Reference Rate Loans in the event that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Reference Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

These arrangements shall be coordinated by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to be the issuer of any Letter of Credit. The Loan Parties will be the account party for the application for each Letter of Credit, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto or on a computer transmission system approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, or such other written form or computer transmission system as may from time to time be approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and shall be duly completed in a manner and at a time reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates, agreements, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may reasonably request (the "Letter of Credit Application"). In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(b)The aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the lowest of (i) the difference between (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (II) all Indebtedness of the Loan Parties in respect of existing Third Party Letters of Credit (which, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of this Section 3.01(b)(i)(B)(II), shall not be included if such Third Party Letters of Credit are backstopped by a Letter of Credit or fully cash collateralized), and (ii) the L/C Subfacility minus the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness of the Loan Parties in respect of existing Third Party Letters of Credit. In addition, the terms and conditions of all Letters of Credit and all changes or modifications thereof by the Loan Parties and/or the L/C Issuer shall in all respects be subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that (i) the expiry date of all Letters of Credit shall be no later than fifteen days prior to the Final Maturity Date unless, no later than fifteen days prior to the Final Maturity Date either (A) such Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized in an amount equal to 102.5% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit by deposit of cash in such amount in an account under the sole and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the L/C Issuer (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") or (B) the Loan Parties shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders with an indemnification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from a commercial bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Agents for any Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit and (ii) the Letters of Credit and all documentation in connection therewith shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to ii) of this Agreement. Any charges, fees, commissions, costs and expenses charged to the Administrative Agent for the Borrower's account by the L/C Issuer in connection with or arising out of Letters of Credit or transactions relating thereto will be charged to the Loan Account in full when charged to or paid by the Administrative Agent and, when charged, shall be conclusive on the Borrower absent manifest error. Each of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in 0 have been satisfied.

(d)Each Loan Party agrees to unconditionally indemnify each Agent and each Lender and hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit, any drafts or acceptances thereunder, the Collateral relating thereto, and all Obligations in respect thereof, including any such loss or claim due to any action taken by the L/C Issuer, other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer, any Agent or any Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Loan Party agrees that any charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer for such Loan Party's account hereunder may be charged to the Loan Account.

(e)Upon any payments made to the L/C Issuer under the Letter of Credit Guaranty, the Agents or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as the case may be, shall, without prejudice to their rights under this Agreement (including that such unreimbursed amounts shall constitute Loans hereunder), acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Loan Parties in favor of the L/C Issuer in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to the Agents and the Revolving Loan Lenders and apply in all respects to the Agents and the Revolving Loan Lenders and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to 0 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable); (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not 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 collectibility 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 Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to 0, 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.

-94-

Section 10.04Reliance. 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.

The obligations of the Lenders under this 0 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

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.

Section 10.07Successor Agent. xiii)  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 thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender.

-95-

(b)Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), (c), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing, be acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 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 0 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 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; provided that if all of the Revolving Obligations are paid in full, the Administrative Agent's resignation shall be effective at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed.

Section 10.08Collateral Matters.

(a)The Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, 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, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations 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 0, provided that the aggregate amount of outstanding Collateral Agent Advances at no time shall exceed $5,500,000. 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 1)a)x). 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 0, 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 (determined under clause (d) of the definition of 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 three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate.

-96-

(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, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations, and all other Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof; 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 0.

(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 0), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under 0. 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 Agents, the Lenders and the Bank Product 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)Neither Agent shall have any 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 any Agent in this 0 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, any Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that neither Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.09Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other 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 Uniform Commercial Code or the PPSA, as applicable, 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 of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent's instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state or provincial law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

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, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrower.

(b)In addition to the guaranty specified in Section 11.01(a) above, each Guarantor agrees to indemnify and save the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer harmless from and against all costs, losses, expenses and damages it may suffer as a result or consequence of, the Borrower's default in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any ability by the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer to recover the ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to such party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, legal fees incurred by or on behalf of the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer resulting from any action instituted on the basis of this 0.

Each Guarantor agrees that this 0 constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by any Agent or any Lender to any Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this 0 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.

(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)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including, without limitation, any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer;

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

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

This 0 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, the L/C Issuer 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 11.05Subrogation. 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 0, 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, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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 0 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 0 and the Final Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and shall forthwith be paid to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable under this 0, 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 0 thereafter arising.

Section 11.06Maximum Liability. The provisions of under this ARTICLE XI are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state or provincial corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this ARTICLE XI would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor's liability under this ARTICLE XI, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE XI to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor's "Maximum Liability"). This Section 11.06 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this ARTICLE XI or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

Section 12.02Amendments, Etc. (a)No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 or the Reimbursement Obligations payable to any Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend the Final Maturity Date or any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations 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 without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend the definition of "Required Lenders," or "Pro Rata Share" without the written consent of each Lender, (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 Agents, the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, or release the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 2.05(b)(i), Section 2.05(d), 0 or this 0 of this Agreement, 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.

(b)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, discharge, termination or consent, the consent of Fortress and its Related Funds is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, providedthat, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.07(b), and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.10 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender plus the Applicable Prepayment Premium (if any).

Section 12.03No 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.

-103-

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this 0 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law or otherwise.

Section 12.06Severability. 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.

Section 12.07Assignments and Participations.

(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 other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders' prior written consent shall be null and void.

-105-

(b)Each Lender may (x) with the written consent of the Collateral Agent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and any Term Loan made by it, and (y) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Loans made by it; provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender's Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to (x) a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (ii) except as provided in the second to the last sentence of this 0, the parties to each such assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (and the Administrative Agent, if applicable), 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, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of an assignment of any Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Loans), a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender) and (y) deliver to the Borrower an executed copy of such Assignment and Acceptance and (iii) no written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent and no notice to the Borrower shall be required (1) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (2) if 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 such Lender. 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 Administrative Agent or, in the case of an assignment of any Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan, the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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).

Each Lender, who makes an assignment or sale pursuant to the foregoing sentence where the Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable), shall indemnify and agree to hold Agents, the Borrower and the other Lenders harmless from and against any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for (i) the failure of the Affiliate or the Related Fund that received such assignment to comply with this Agreement or (ii) the failure of such Lender to withhold such tax at the proper rate in the event such Affiliate or Related Fund does not comply with this Agreement (or complies with this Agreement but delivers forms indicating it is entitled to a reduced rate of such tax).

-106-

(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 Administrative Agent (and with respect to the Term Loans, the Collateral Agent) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the "Registered Loans") and Letter of Credit Obligations 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.

(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 or the Related Party 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 or the Related Party 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). Prior to the registration of 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 on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(g)In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (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 participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.The Participant 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.

(h)Any Non-U.S. Lender who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with 0. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its promissory notes related thereto, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender in connection with any financing obtained by such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-108-

(i)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, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations); provided, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments 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 or Letter of Credit Obligations, (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 any Loan Party (except as set forth in 0 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of v) and 1)a)xi) of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.

Section 12.08Counterparts. 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 telecopier 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 telecopier 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 12.09GOVERNING 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.

-110-

Section 12.13No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

Section 12.14Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer 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 the L/C Issuer or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer.

Section 12.15Indemnification.

(a)General Indemnity. 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 the L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer's issuing of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations or the Letter of Credit Obligations, (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 subsection (a) 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.

-111-

(b)The 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 0 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. The indemnities set forth in this 0 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.16Records. 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 0 hereof, including, without limitation, the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter, the Unused Line Fee, the Unused Term Loan B Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Letter of Credit Override Fee shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 12.17Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in 0 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, 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 0 hereof.

Section 12.18Interest. 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 any time and from time to time (x) 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 0 and (y) 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 0.

-112-

For purposes of this 0, 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 12.19Confidentiality. 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 and use in compliance with applicable law solely in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in accordance with the customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any 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, (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 0, or (vi) to Fitch and/or other ratings agencies, as such Lender reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in connection with such Lender's obtaining financing; provided, however, that such financial institution or ratings agency shall be informed of the confidentiality of such information. 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 the 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.

-113-

Section 12.20Integration. 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 12.21USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act") hereby notifies the Borrower and Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and Guarantors in accordance with the Act.
