ARTICLE 2
LOAN(S), INTEREST RATE AND OTHER CHARGES

Section 2.1. AMOUNT OF LOAN.

(a) Subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the terms set forth in Schedule A attached hereto), Initial Lender agrees to, upon the Borrower Representative's request from time to time (but in no event more often than once per week), until the Maturity Date, to make advances to the Borrowers (collectively, the “Loan” and each advance thereof a “Loan Advance”), in an aggregate amount (including accrued but unpaid interest thereon) not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of the following: (a) the Amount of Revolving Credit Line or (b) the Availability on Eligible Receivables. In no event shall Initial Lender be required to fund Loan Advances such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loan would exceed the Amount of Revolving Credit Line then in effect. For any period, the minimum amount funded under the Loan shall not be less than the amount set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i) of Schedule A hereto. Within the limits of this Section 2.1, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the advances.

(b) The obligation of the Borrowers to repay to a Lender the aggregate amount of each Loan Advance made by such Lender (whether directly or as assignee of another Lender), together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a Note in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof, issued in the principal amount of such Loan Advance and dated the date on which the proceeds of such Loan Advance are advanced hereunder to or for the account of the Borrower. The amount of principal owing on any Note at any given time shall be the aggregate amount of the Loan Advance evidenced thereby minus all payments of principal theretofore received by the Administrative Agent on such Note. Interest on each Note shall accrue and be due and payable as provided herein and therein. Each Note shall be due and payable as provided herein and therein and the principal amount of the Loan Advance evidenced thereby, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date and Borrowers jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay each Note and all other outstanding Indebtedness in full on the Maturity Date.

(c) The Borrower Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Borrowers, will make a request for a Loan Advance to the Administrative Agent in such manner as the Administrative Agent may from time to time prescribe. Each Loan Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000. In the absence of any such further direction from the Administrative Agent and subject to the provisions hereof, the Borrowers shall request a Loan Advance by having the Borrower Representative submit such request in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each such request, a “Request for Advance”) to the Administrative Agent, together with such other information as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests in

accordance with the terms hereof, and must be given so as to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested funding date of such proposed Loan Advance. Each Request for Advance shall specify such information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Each Request for Advance shall be deemed a representation and warranty by each Borrower that (i) all conditions precedent specified in Article IV hereof with respect to such Loan Advance are satisfied on the date of such request and (ii) no breach or default under, and no Event of Default defined or described in, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents exists or, after giving effect to the Loan Advance requested pursuant to such Request for Advance, will exist. Unless otherwise requested in writing by Borrower and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, each Loan Advanced shall be funded by the Lenders by wire transfer to the Operating Account pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth on Section 2.1(c) of Schedule A hereto.

Section 2.2. INTEREST RATE.

(a) Unless the Default Rate shall apply, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Stated Interest Rate on each day outstanding. If any Lender is ever prevented from charging or collecting interest at the Stated Interest Rate because interest at such rate would exceed the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate applicable to the Indebtedness to such Lender shall be the Maximum Rate until such Lender has charged and collected the full amount of interest chargeable and collectable had the Stated Interest Rate always been lawfully chargeable and collectible.

(b) Reserved.

(d) The monthly interest due on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed during the month in question on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be calculated by determining the average daily principal balance outstanding for each day of the month in question. The daily rate shall be equal to 1/360th times the Stated Interest Rate (but shall not exceed the Maximum Rate).

Section 2.3. PAYMENTS. All payments on the Indebtedness shall be made by wire transfer or other method of electronic transfer acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall be made to:

Banco Popular
Rosemont, Illinois USA
ABA # 071924458
For: SWC – Carbiz
Account #: 68043234182,

or such other account as may be designated to Borrower Representative by Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, and at least two (2) days prior to such payment being due and

payable hereunder (such account, the “Collection Account”), and all such payments shall be without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim for the account of the Lender Parties. All payments received pursuant to this Agreement by wire transfer or other electronic transfer method, where immediate credit occurs, shall be applied to the Indebtedness on the Business Day of actual receipt of such payment by Administrative Agent’s depository bank; provided, however, for purposes of calculating the interest due on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, such payment is subject to a four (4) Business Day clearance period. The Indebtedness shall be due and payable as follows:

(a) Accrued but unpaid interest for each calendar month during the term hereof shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the fifth (5th) day of the immediately succeeding calendar month;

(b) Costs, fees and expenses payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be due and payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or to such other Person designated by Administrative Agent in writing on demand; and

Section 2.4. PAYMENT DUE ON A NON-BUSINESS DAY. If any payment of the Indebtedness falls due on a day other than a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.5. MANDATORY PAYMENTS. Provided that a Default or Event of Default has not otherwise occurred and be continuing hereunder, if at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loan advanced hereunder by Lenders to Borrowers exceeds the maximum amount of the Loan allowed pursuant to Section 2.1 (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers shall immediately and without notice, repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. In the event a Borrower sells, transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of its Receivables, other than in the ordinary course of business (subject, at all times, to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.2(c) of this Agreement), Borrowers shall apply all proceeds of any such sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition to reduce the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness.

Section 2.6. TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS.

(a) Borrowers may, at any time, terminate financing under this Agreement and prepay the Indebtedness in full (a “Voluntary Termination”) by providing Administrative Agent and Lenders with written notice (the “Termination Notice”) at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the specific date upon which Borrowers intend to cease financing hereunder and prepay the Indebtedness in full (the “Termination Date”), and Lenders shall cease making advances under this Agreement and all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Termination Date, as applicable. In connection with a Voluntary Termination, the Indebtedness owing and to be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the

account of Lender Parties on the Termination Date shall include as liquidated damages, not as a penalty, the amount of liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) set forth in Section 2.6 of Schedule A attached hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no termination of financing under this Agreement shall affect Lender Parties’ rights or any of the Indebtedness existing as of the Termination Date, and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully operative until all Indebtedness (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of Administrative Agent and Lenders thereunder shall continue in full force and effect until (a) all of the Indebtedness (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) has been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and (b) this Agreement and the financing commitments under this Agreement have been terminated, as provided herein. Administrative Agent hereby agrees to give Borrower written confirmation of the amount of the Indebtedness (presuming no further Loan Advances prior to the Termination Date) in a timely fashion following receipt of a Termination Notice.

(b) Borrowers may from time to time, with at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent by Borrower Representative, prepay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan; provided that any such prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $25,000 (or such lesser amount as may be the remaining outstanding principal balance of such Loan), and provided further, that any such prepayment received upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default may be applied to the Indebtedness at the discretion of Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof.

Section 2.7. MAXIMUM INTEREST; CONTROLLING AGREEMENT.

(a) The contracted for rate of interest of the Loan without limitation, shall consist of the following: (i) the Stated Interest Rate, calculated and applied to the principal balance of the Note in accordance with the provisions of the Note and this Agreement; (ii) additional interest charged when the Default Rate is charged pursuant to the terms hereof, calculated and applied to the amounts due under the Note in accordance with the provisions of the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) all Additional Sums, if any. Borrowers agree to pay an effective contracted for rate of interest which is the sum of the above-referenced elements.

(b) All fees, charges, goods, things in action or any other sums or things of value (other than amounts described in the immediately previous paragraph), paid or payable by Borrowers (collectively, the “Additional Sums”), whether pursuant to the Note, this Agreement or any other documents or instruments in any way pertaining to this lending transaction, or otherwise with respect to this lending transaction, that under any applicable Law may be deemed to be interest with respect to this lending transaction, for the purpose of any applicable Law that may limit the maximum amount of interest to be charged with respect to this lending transaction, shall be payable by Borrowers as, and shall be deemed to be, additional interest and for such

purposes only, the agreed upon and “contracted for rate of interest” of this lending transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the rate of interest resulting from the inclusion of the Additional Sums.

(c) It is the intent of the parties to comply with Applicable Usury Law. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Loan Documents, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall the Loan Documents or such other documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate permitted by Applicable Usury Law. In the event (i) any such excess of interest otherwise would be contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers or otherwise in connection with the Loan or other Indebtedness, or (ii) the Maturity Date is accelerated in whole or in part, or (iii) all or part of the principal or interest of the Loan shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received in connection with the Loan, would exceed the Maximum Rate permitted by Applicable Usury Law, then in any such event (1) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (2) neither any Borrower, any Guarantor nor any other Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of any Indebtedness will be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Maximum Rate, (3) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount of the Indebtedness or refunded to Borrowers, at Lender's option, and (4) the effective rate of interest will be automatically reduced to the Maximum Rate. It is further agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent permitted by Applicable Usury Law, (i) all calculations of interest which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed the Maximum Rate shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of the Loan, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers or otherwise in connection with the Loan; and (ii) in the event that the effective rate of interest on the Loan should at any time exceed the Maximum Rate, such excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, from time to time, if and when the effective interest rate on the Loan otherwise falls below the Maximum Rate, to the extent that interest paid to the date of calculation does not exceed the Maximum Rate, until the entire amount of interest which would have otherwise been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full. Borrowers further agree that should the Maximum Rate be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in the Law, then to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Usury Law, such increases shall apply to all Indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred; but, again to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Usury Law, should the Maximum Rate be decreased because of a change in the Law, such decreases shall not apply to the Indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.

Section 2.8. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and without notice or demand to Borrowers, Borrowers shall pay interest on the daily outstanding balance of the Loan at a rate per annum which is six percent (6%) in excess of the Stated Interest Rate (the “Default Rate”); provided, however, the Default Rate shall never exceed the Maximum Rate.

Section 2.9. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The amount of all payments or amounts received by Administrative Agent with respect to the Indebtedness (including payments received in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof) shall be applied to the extent applicable under this Agreement: (a) first, to any fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the Asset Management Fee) due to Lender Parties hereunder; (b) then, to any fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses) of the Custodian; (c) then, to any fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses) of any servicer of the Receivables; (d) then, to accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such payment, including any interest calculated at the Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof, (e) then, to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, in an amount sufficient to cure any Overadvance, and (f) last, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the remaining balance, if any, shall be transferred to the Operating Account for the benefit of the Borrowers; provided, however, while a Default or Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, each payment received hereunder shall be applied to amounts owed to Lender Parties by Borrowers as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine (subject to the right of the Required Lenders to direct Administrative Agent in such application), including, without limitation, to the outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness. In calculating interest and applying payments as set forth above; (a) interest shall be calculated and collected through the date a payment is actually applied thereto under the terms of this Agreement; (b) interest on the outstanding balance shall be charged during any grace period permitted hereunder; (c) on the sixth day of each calendar month, at Administrative Agent’s option, all accrued and unpaid interest and other charges provided for hereunder as of the last day of the preceding calendar month shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan; and (d) to the extent that any Borrower, Related Party, JV Partner or Validity Guarantor makes a payment or any Lender Party receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrowers’ benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Lender Party and the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness may be adjusted as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate under the circumstances.

Section 2.10. FEES. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Initial Lender, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) as set forth in Section 2.10(a) of Schedule A attached hereto, which Commitment Fee shall be fully earned and due and payable upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Initial Lender, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) as set forth in Section 2.10(b) of Schedule A attached hereto, which Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, beginning on October 1, 2007. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) as set forth in Section 2.10(c) of Schedule A attached hereto. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Initial Lender, a second tranche commitment fee (the “Second Tranche Commitment Fee”) as set forth in Section 2.10(d) of Schedule A attached hereto, which Second Tranche Commitment Fee shall be fully earned and due and payable upon the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase on the Commitment Increase Effective Date.

Section 2.11. CAPITAL REIMBURSEMENT. If either (a) the introduction or implementation after the date hereof of or the compliance with or any change after the date hereof in or in the interpretation of any Law regarding capital adequacy, or (b) the introduction or implementation after the date hereof of or the compliance with any request, directive or guideline issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of Law) regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of any such corporation with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefore by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, a Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. Any such demand by a Lender shall include a brief summary description, in reasonable detail, of the basis for such demand.

Section 2.12. RESERVED.

Section 2.13. COMMITMENT INCREASE. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.13, the Borrowers shall have the option to increase the “Amount of Revolving Credit Line” from $5,000,000 as in effect on the Closing Date to $10,000,000 (the “Commitment Increase”). At any time from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, the Borrowers may effect the Commitment Increase by delivering to Administrative Agent (i) a written request by each Borrower to effect the Commitment Increase, which written notice shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (ii) the Second Tranche Commitment Fee referenced in Section 2.10 hereof. The effectiveness of the Commitment Increase shall be subject to following conditions precedent: (a) Administrative Agent’s receipt of the written request and Second Tranche Commitment Fee referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, and (b) unless otherwise waived by Administrative Agent and each Lender, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Following the Commitment Increase Effective Date, in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii) of Schedule A, the “Amount of Revolving Credit Line” for all purposes hereunder shall be deemed to be $10,000,000 (including for the purposes of determining the amount of the Unused Line Fee).

Section 2.14. TAXES. All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Administrative Agent's or any Lender's income by a jurisdiction under which Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Loan Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Administrative Agent an official receipt or

other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Administrative Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Administrative Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Administrative Agent or such Lender first made demand therefor. If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(a) Borrowers hereby agree to deliver to the Custodian the original Consumer Loan Documents evidencing each Receivable, together with all related credit applications, truth-in-lending disclosures, credit reports and similar information provided by or related to each Account Debtor for such Receivable, and the original Auto Title reflecting Borrower as lien holder on the vehicle securing such Receivable, within five (5) Business Days after the Receivable evidenced by such Consumer Loan Document is made by the Borrower to the related Account Debtor and in accordance with the Custodian Agreement. All Receivables shall, regardless of their location, be deemed to be under Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of itself and the Lender Parties) dominion and control (with files so labeled) and deemed to be in Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of itself and the Lender Parties’) possession.

(b) Borrowers shall deliver and pledge to the Administrative Agent or its agent any and all other Instruments, negotiable Documents, Chattel Paper and certificated securities (that are not Consumer Loan Documents) duly endorsed and/or accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer executed by the applicable Borrower, in such form and substance as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Section 3.5. FAILURE TO DELIVER. Failure to deliver physical possession of any instruments, documents or writings in respect of any Receivable to Administrative Agent (including the Custodian, as custodian and bailee for the Administrative Agent) shall not invalidate Administrative Agent's security interest, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, therein. To the extent that possession may be required by applicable law for the perfection of Administrative Agent's (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) security interest, the original chattel paper and instruments representing the Receivables so held by Borrower shall be deemed to be held by Administrative Agent, although kept by the Borrower as the custodial agent of Administrative Agent and Lender.

Section 3.6. NOTICE OF SECURITY INTEREST AND COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT. All contracts, documents or instruments representing or evidencing a Receivable shall contain (by way of stamp or other method reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) the following language: “THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF, AND PLEDGED AS COLLATERAL TO SWC SERVICES LLC, AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITSELF AND CERTAIN LENDERS. THE CREATION OF ANY SUBSEQUENT SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS DOCUMENT VIOLATES THE RIGHTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS.”

Section 3.7. RECORDS AND INSPECTIONS. Related Parties shall at all times keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the Collateral, which records shall be current

on a daily basis and located only at the locations set forth in Section 3.7 of Schedule A attached hereto. Administrative Agent, by or through any of its officers, agents, employees, attorneys or accountants, shall have the right to enter any such locations, at any reasonable time or times during regular business hours, for so long as Administrative Agent may desire, to inspect the Collateral and to inspect, audit and make extractions or copies from the books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence or other data relating to the Collateral or this Agreement.

Section 3.8. COLLECTION. Subject to Section 3.9, Borrowers agree at their own expense to promptly and diligently collect each installment of all Receivables in trust for the exclusive account of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, to hold Lender Parties harmless from any and all loss, damage, penalty, liability, fine or expense arising from such collection by Borrower or its agents, and to faithfully account therefor to Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent expressly retains the unqualified right at any time it so elects to take over the collection of the Receivables directly (through an agent of Administrative Agent or otherwise).

Section 3.9. COLLECTION ACCOUNT. Borrower shall ensure that all collections of Receivables (including, without limitation, all scheduled payments, all prepayments, all overdue payments, all insurance proceeds, recoveries and all cash receipts and proceeds in respect of the underlying automobile securing the Receivables), all other amounts remitted by any Account Debtor, an insurer, any other Person making a payment on a Receivable or in connection with proceeds of the underlying automobile securing such Receivable, and the proceeds of all other Collateral are deposited into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof. Until such time as any Receivables collections or other proceeds of Collateral are deposited by the Borrower into the Collection Account, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent. The Collection Account shall be swept automatically on a weekly basis and the depository bank maintaining the Collection Account will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Collection Account (other than $300 or such other nominal amount in each account which the depository bank may require to be held as a compensating balance) to such bank account as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate for such purpose. Each Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts deposited in the Collection Account and any other funds received and collected by Administrative Agent, whether as proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, shall constitute Collateral. Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Collection Account and this Section 3.9 as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof. If a credit balance exists with respect to the Collection Account as the result of collections of Receivables or proceeds of other Collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.9, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of the Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All funds transferred to the Collection Account shall be applied to reduce the Indebtedness (or be returned to an Operating Account of the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof), but, for purposes of calculating interest hereunder, shall be subject to a four (4) Business Day clearance period. All items deposited in the Collection Account shall be subject to final payment. If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrowers will immediately pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender Parties, or, for items deposited in the

Collection Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the Borrower’s commercial account or other account. The Borrowers shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collection Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by a Borrower. Upon Administrative Agent’s request any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers agree to establish and maintain a Lockbox with a bank acceptable to Administrative Agent and to execute with such bank a Lockbox Agreement acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. Thereafter, Borrowers shall ensure that all collections of Receivables and the proceeds of other Collateral are paid directly by the Account Debtors to the Lockbox and to the extent that any Receivables collections or other proceeds of Collateral are not sent directly to the Lockbox but are received by a Borrower, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof shall be remitted via overnight mail to the Administrative Agent for deposit, in the form received, to the Lockbox.

Section 3.10. PROTECTION OF RECEIVABLE RECORDS. Borrowers hereby agree to take the following protective actions to prevent destruction of the Collateral and records pertaining to the Collateral: (i) if a Borrower maintains its Collateral records on a manual system such records shall be kept in a fire proof cabinet or on no less than a monthly basis, a record of all payments on Receivables and all other matters relating to the Collateral shall be placed in an off site safety deposit box (and Administrative Agent shall have access to such safety deposit box); or (ii) if the Collateral records are computerized, Borrowers agree to create a tape or diskette “back-up” of the computerized information and upon the request of Administrative Agent, provide Administrative Agent with a tape or diskette copy of such “back-up” information.

Section 3.11. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan in the ordinary course of business, solely in its operations for working capital, costs incurred in the purchasing of Receivables and for payments to Lender Parties hereunder.

Section 3.12. RETURN OF COLLATERAL. Upon the payment in full of any Receivable to which the written documents evidencing such Receivable are held by Administrative Agent or Custodian, Borrower shall submit a request to the Administrative Agent for the return of such documents pursuant to a Request For Return of Collateral Form, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (and shall additionally submit all requests required of it under the Custodian Agreement to the Custodian) and Administrative Agent shall return (or cause Custodian to return) such documents within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request.

(c) The right to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral in its then condition at public or private sale or sales, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may deem advisable; provided that such sales may be

adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The requirement of reasonable notice to Related Parties of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale either by Administrative Agent or at its option, a broker, or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Related Parties at the address of Related Parties designated herein at least ten (10) Business Days before the date of any public sale or at least ten (10) Business Days before the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made unless applicable law requires otherwise.

(d) Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on Related Parties' premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Related Parties' premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as Administrative Agent may see fit. Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Related Parties’ labels, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any Collateral and Related Parties' rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Administrative Agent’s benefit. The Related Parties agree to hold Administrative Agent harmless from any liability arising out of Administrative Agent's use of Related Parties' premises, labels, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature as it pertains to advertising for sale, marshaling or selling the Collateral.

(e) Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and any Lender Party may purchase all or part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Indebtedness owing by Borrowers to such Lender Party. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied first to reasonable costs and expenses, attorney's fees, expert witness fees incurred by Administrative Agent for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral; second to all payments, other than principal and interest, due under this Agreement; third to interest due upon any of the Indebtedness; fourth to the principal balance owing on the Indebtedness; and fifth the remainder, if any, to Borrowers, their successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Parties or enforce any other legal or equitable right which Lender Parties may have. All rights, remedies and powers conferred upon Lender Parties under the Loan Documents shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or powers available under the Loan Documents or at Law or in equity.

Section 7.4. NO WAIVER. No delay, failure or omission of Administrative Agent to exercise any right upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Lender Parties may, from time to time, in a writing waive compliance by the other parties with any of the terms of this Agreement and its rights and remedies upon any Default or Event of Default, and, Borrowers agree that no waiver by Lender Parties shall ever be legally effective unless such waiver shall be acknowledged and agreed to in writing by Lender Parties. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default by Lender Parties shall impair any right or remedy of Lender not specifically waived. No single, partial or full exercise of any right of Lender Parties shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. No modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other written agreement between the parties hereto shall be valid or effective (or serve as a basis of reliance by way of estoppel) unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. The acceptance by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time of a partial payment or partial performance of any Related Party's obligations set forth herein shall not be deemed a waiver, reduction, modification or release from any Default or Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender Parties of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other existing or any subsequent Default or Event of Default.

Section 7.5. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS . After an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all amounts received by Lender Parties on account of any Indebtedness and realized by Lender Parties with respect to the Collateral, including any sums which may be held by Lender Parties, or the proceeds of any thereof, shall be applied in the same manner as proceeds of Collateral as set forth in Section 7.3(e) hereof.

The Borrowers and other Related Parties shall execute such documents and agreements and take such action as the Lenders and any such successor Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to maintain the Liens of such successor Administrative Agent in the assets of Borrowers and the other Related Parties to secure the Indebtedness and otherwise carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.9A RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all Indebtedness (other than contingent indemnification Indebtedness to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted); or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a Borrower certifies to Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Administrative Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

Section 8.10A CONFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY; EXECUTION OF RELEASES. Without in any manner limiting Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Administrative Agent, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any required confirmation from the Required Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the liens granted to Administrative Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent's opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation 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 indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or any Liens upon (or Indebtedness of Borrowers, in respect of), all interests retained by Borrowers, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

Section 8.11A Absence of Duty. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to such Administrative Agent in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of any Collateral or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion and provided that Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.

Section 8.12A Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting such Lender’s security interest in that portion of the Collateral which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral for the Notes unless consented to by Administrative Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to limit any Lender’s rights under its Note, including the right to enforce, accelerate, amend, compromise or otherwise administer such Note.

Section 8.13A Amendments, Consents and Waivers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein and except as to matters set forth in other subsections hereof or in any other Loan Document as requiring only Administrative Agent’s consent, the consent of Required Lenders (it being understood that consent of the “Lender Parties” shall be deemed to mean consent of the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders) will be required to amend, modify, terminate, or waive any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that if such amendment, modification, termination or waiver applies only to a certain Loan Advance or Loan Advances, only the consent of the Lender or Lenders with respect to such Loan Advance(s) shall be required.

(b) In the event Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written consent or denial thereof within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender's receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have given such consent.

ARTICLE 8

ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. NOTICES. All notices, demands, billings, requests and other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given: (i) upon personal delivery; (ii) on the third Business Day following the day sent, if sent by registered or certified mail; (iii) on the next Business Day following the day sent, if sent by overnight express courier; or (iv) on the day sent or if such day is not a Business Day on the next Business Day after the day sent if sent by telecopy providing the receiving party has acknowledged receipt by return telecopy, in each case, to each Lender Party and each Related Party or Guarantor at its address and/or telecopy number as set forth in this Agreement or Section 9.1 of Schedule A attached hereto, or at such other address and/or telecopy number as either party may designate for such purpose in a written notice given to the other party. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, on or after initial funding pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and after the Borrowers have made such an announcement or release, to issue a press release or other brochure announcing the consummation of the Loan Documents and to distribute that information to third parties in the normal course of such Person’s business, at no cost to Borrowers.

Section 9.2. APPOINTMENT OF BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE.

Each Borrower and Related Party hereby designates the Borrower Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes (as applicable) of issuing Requests for Advances, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan Advances, effecting repayment of the Loans, and giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Related Party under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent and each Lender Party may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers and Related Parties, and shall give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Related Party hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Related Party. Each Borrower and Related Party agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and Related Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower and Related Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower or Related Party. The Borrowers may, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent by each of the Borrowers, appoint a substitute Borrower as “Borrower Representative” to Administrative Agent.

Section 9.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

(a) Any Lender may sell any participation interest in its commitment hereunder or any of its rights under its Loans or under the Loan Documents to any Person so long as the agreement between such Lender and such participant at all times provides: (i) that such participation exists only as a result of the agreement between such participant and such Lender and that such transfer does not give such participant any right to vote as a Lender or any other direct claims or rights against any Person other than such Lender, (ii) that such participant is not entitled to payment from Borrower hereunder of amounts in excess of those payable to such Lender under such sections (determined without regard to the sale of such participation), and (iii) unless such participant is an affiliate of such Lender, that such participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take any action under any Loan Document or to obtain the consent of such participant prior to taking any action under any Loan Document, except for actions which would require the consent of all Lenders hereunder. No Lender selling such a participation shall, as between the other parties hereto or to any other Loan Document and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder as a result of the sale of such participation. Each Lender which sells any such participation to any Person (other than an affiliate of such Lender) shall give prompt notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Borrower.

(b) In addition to sales of participations under the immediately preceding subsection, Lender may make any assignment or transfer of any kind of its commitments or any of its rights under its Loans or under the Loan Documents (which rights may be limited to a particular Loan Advance) in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.3; provided, however, that Lender shall not offer, sell or otherwise, dispose of all or any part of its commitments or Loans except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or applicable state securities laws. To the extent indicated in any document, instrument or agreement so

selling, assigning, or otherwise transferring to an assignee (an “Assignee”) such rights and/or duties, (i) the Assignee shall acquire all of the assigning Lender’s rights under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Assignee shall be deemed to be a “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the authority to exercise such rights in the capacity of such Lender. Subject to applicable securities laws, Related Parties hereby authorize each Lender to disseminate any information it has pertaining to the Indebtedness, including without limitation, complete and current credit information on Related Parties and Guarantors and any of their principals to any Assignee or prospective Assignee. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance.

(c) Administrative Agent shall maintain at its office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Indebtedness and Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lenders in the absence of manifest error. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and its Assignee (together with the Note(s) subject to such assignment), evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such assignment complies with subsection (b) above, Administrative Agent shall (a) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (b) record the information contained therein in the Register. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent new Note(s) evidencing the Indebtedness owed by Borrower to the assignee and, if applicable, the assigning Lender, after giving effect to the assignment. Administrative Agent shall cancel the Notes delivered to it by the assigning Lender and deliver the new Notes to the Assignee and, unless the assigning Lender has assigned all of its interests under this Agreement, the assigning Lender.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, following written notice to Administrative Agent, (a) pledge the Indebtedness held by it or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in favor of any Person; provided, however, that (i) no such pledge or grant of security interest to any Person shall release such Lender from its Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (ii) the acquisition of title to such Lender’s Indebtedness pursuant to any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by such Person shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in all respects; and (b) assign all or any portion of its funded Loans to an affiliate of such Lender, to one or more other Lenders or to an affiliate of such other Lender.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and that Lender, be relieved of any of its Indebtedness hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Indebtedness owed to such Lender.

Section 9.4. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS. All of the various representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrowers and Guarantors (including without limitation, any agreements to pay costs and expenses and to indemnify any Lender Party) in the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the performance under such Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding any termination of financing under this Agreement until all Indebtedness is fully performed and paid in full in cash. All indemnity obligations and all other obligations to pay costs and expenses of the Borrowers and Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall survive payment of the Indebtedness in full.

Section 9.5. NO OBLIGATION BEYOND MATURITY. Each of Borrower and each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that upon the Maturity Date, no Lender Party shall have any obligation to renew, extend, modify or rearrange the Loan and Lender Parties shall have the right to require all amounts due and owing under the Loan to be paid in full upon such date.

Section 9.6. PRIOR AGREEMENTS SUPERSEDED. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitute the sole and only agreement of the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document may be modified, waived or terminated except by instrument in writing executed by the party against whom a modification, waiver or termination is sought to be enforced.

Section 9.7. PARTIES BOUND. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein. No Related Party shall assign any of its rights or obligations pursuant this Agreement.

Section 9.8. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers and is not for the benefit of any third party.

Section 9.9. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile, .pdf and/or other similar electronically transmitted format shall bind the parties hereto as though such signatures were original.

Section 9.10. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision which is determined to be unconscionable, against public policy or 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 provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.11. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS. Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall from time to time execute and deliver, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to execute and deliver, all such amendments, supplements and other modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents and all such financing statements or continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and any other instruments, and shall take such other actions, as Administrative Agent reasonably requests and deems necessary or advisable in furtherance of the agreements contained herein.

Section 9.12. GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY ELECTED IN A LOAN DOCUMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

Section 9.13. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. TO INDUCE THE LENDER PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL COURT OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT.

THE RELATED PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON SUCH RELATED PARTY BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED.

ARTICLE 10
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; CROSS GUARANTY; SUBORDINATION

Section 10.1. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; CROSS GUARANTY.

(a) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for all of the Indebtedness, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Indebtedness

and other obligations and amounts owed or hereafter owing to the Lender Parties under this Agreement by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Indebtedness and other amounts owed or hereafter owing under this Agreement has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender Parties with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its security interest in or lien against, any security for the Indebtedness or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender Parties in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(iv) the insolvency of any Borrower or Guarantor; or

(v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Indebtedness and other amounts guaranteed hereunder.

(b) Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to subrogation, to compel Administrative Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Indebtedness and other amounts guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower or Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Indebtedness and other amounts before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and the Lender Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section and such waivers, the Lender Parties would decline to enter into this Agreement.

(c) Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section are for the benefit of the Lender Parties and their successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and the Lender Parties, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(d) Election of Remedies. If the Lender Parties may, under applicable law, proceed to realize their benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a security interest in or lien upon any Collateral, whether

owned by any Borrower or by any Guarantor, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Lender Parties may, at their sole option, determine which of their remedies or rights they may pursue without affecting any of the rights and remedies under this Section. If, in the exercise of any of their rights and remedies, the Lender Parties shall forfeit any of their rights or remedies, including their right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by the Lender Parties and waives any claim based upon such action. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Lender Parties to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Indebtedness and other amounts owed or hereafter owing under this Agreement. In the event the Lender Parties shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, the Lender Parties may bid all or less than the amount of the Indebtedness and other amounts owed or hereafter owing under this Agreement and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Lender Parties but shall be credited against such Indebtedness and other amounts. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether the Lender Parties or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Indebtedness and other amounts owed or hereafter owing under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Indebtedness and other amounts guaranteed under this Section, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Lender Parties might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(e) Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Article 10 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Lender Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Indebtedness or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

(f) Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.1, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the liability incurred by each Borrower in respect of the Indebtedness of the other Borrowers (and any Lien granted by each Borrower to secure such Indebtedness), not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable law of any state or other governmental unit ("Fraudulent Conveyance"). Consequently, each Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence of liability by any Borrower in respect of the Indebtedness of any other Borrower (or any Liens granted by such Borrower to secure such Indebtedness) would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, such liability (and such Liens) shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause the same to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly.

Section 10.2. SUBORDINATION.

(a) Each Borrower covenants and agrees that the payment of all indebtedness, principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy, or for the reorganization of any Borrower), fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees and any other sum, obligation or liability owing by any other Borrower to such Borrower, including any intercompany loans or trade payables or royalty or licensing fees (collectively, the “Intercompany Obligations”), is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 10.2, to the prior payment in full of all Indebtedness and other amounts owed or hereafter owing under this Agreement (herein, the “Senior Obligations”) and that the subordination is for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and the Lender Parties may enforce such provisions directly.

(b) Each Borrower executing this Agreement hereby (i) authorizes the Lender Parties to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 10.2, whether or not any other Borrower shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when such Borrower shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 10.2 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

(c) Upon any distribution of assets of any Borrower in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

(i) The Lender Parties shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations before any Borrower is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Obligations.

(ii) Any payment or distribution of assets of any Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any other Borrower would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 10.2(c), shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to the Lender Parties.

(iii) In the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2(c), any payment or distribution of assets of any Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any other Borrower on account of the Intercompany Obligations before all Senior Obligations are paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations until all of the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the Lender Parties.

No right of the Lender Parties or any other present or future holders of any Senior Obligations to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Borrower with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
