Any such sale of Offered Loans to a third party shall be for consideration of not less than the Loans Offer Price and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not materially less favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Offer. Any Offered Loans not sold within such 120-day period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of a prior offer and re-sale pursuant to this Section 10.6(b)(ii).”

APPENDIX 2

NEW TRANCHE B LOANS

2.01 Tranche B Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Tranche B Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make a New Tranche B Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Tranche B Lender’s Tranche B Commitment on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date in accordance with this Appendix 2; provided, however, (i) with regard to each Tranche B Lender individually, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche B Lender’s outstanding New Tranche B Loans shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Tranche B Commitment (prior to being reduced as a result of making its New Tranche B Loans), which is set forth in Schedule I-B attached hereto, and (ii) with regard to the Tranche B Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of New Tranche B Loans made hereunder shall not at any time exceed the Tranche B Commitment for all Tranche B Lenders (prior to being reduced as a result of making their New Tranche B Loans). The failure of any Tranche B Lender to make any New Tranche B Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Tranche B Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Tranche B Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche B Lender to make any New Tranche B Loan required to be made by such other Tranche B Lender). Amounts repaid or prepaid on any New Tranche B Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Tranche B Lender shall make its New Tranche B Loan on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit and/or remit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived in accordance herewith, return the amounts so received to the respective Tranche B Lenders.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall only be required to advance funds to the Borrower with respect to New Tranche B Loans to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall have received such funds from the Tranche B Lenders.

(d) To request New Tranche B Loans, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or email, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and each Tranche B Lender by 12:30 pm New York City time on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with the foregoing provisions of Section 2.01:

(i)

the aggregate amount of the New Tranche B Loans;

(ii)

the date on which the New Tranche B Loans are to be advanced, which shall be the Eighth Amendment Effective Date;

Appendix 2 – Page 1

(iii)

the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and

(iv)

that the conditions set forth in Appendix 3 have been satisfied with respect to the New Tranche B Loans.

(e) Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request for New Tranche B Loans in accordance with this Section 2.01, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Tranche B Lender of the details thereof.

2.02 Funding Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent shall have no Tranche B Commitment (to make New Tranche B Loans) in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent’s requirement to make New Tranche B Loans (from the Tranche B Loan proceeds received from the Tranche B Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be limited to the funds that it receives from the Tranche B Lenders (to fund such New Tranche B Loans).

2.03 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of New Tranche B Loans.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche B Lender, the unpaid principal amount of the New Tranche B Loan of such Tranche B Lender and all other Tranche B Obligations on the Tranche B Maturity Date (or sooner in accordance with the provisions hereof). All payments or repayments of Tranche B Obligations shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Each Tranche B Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Tranche B Lender resulting from the New Tranche B Loan made by such Tranche B Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Tranche B Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded in the absence of manifest error; provided that the failure of any Tranche B Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the New Tranche B Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of a conflict between records maintained by any Tranche B Lender and the records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Appendix 2 – Page 2

(e) Any Tranche B Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that New Tranche B Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Tranche B Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit L. Thereafter, New Tranche B Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered as signs).

2.04 Tranche B Exit Fee. Borrower shall pay a fee in an amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate Tranche B Commitments (the “Tranche B Exit Fee”), which fee is payable pro rata to each Tranche B Lender who has a Tranche B Commitment on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, based on its Pro Rata Share of the Tranche B Commitments on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date. The Tranche B Exit Fee shall be fully-earned on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, and is due and payable in full in immediately available funds by Borrower on the Tranche B Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the New Tranche B Loans shall be paid in full, whether voluntarily or as required herein, and is nonrefundable. The Tranche B Exit Fee shall in no way limit Borrower’s obligations to pay any other fee, or reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for any cost or expense, under the Loan Documents.

2.05 Interest. (a) New Tranche B Loans shall bear interest at the Borrower’s election, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as follows:

(i) From the Eighth Amendment Effective Date through September 29, 2013:

(A) at a rate per annum equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%), payable in cash in accordance with Section 2.05(c) of this Appendix 2; or

(B) at a rate per annum equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%) which shall be paid in kind and capitalized (and thereby added to principal, which shall thereafter accrue interest) on the last day of each fiscal quarter (“Initial PIK-B Interest”);

(ii) From and after September 30, 2013:

(A) at a rate per annum equal to fourteen and three quarters percent (14.75%), payable in cash in accordance with Section 2.05(c) of this Appendix 2; or

(B) at a rate per annum equal to fourteen and three quarters percent (14.75%) which shall be paid in kind and capitalized (and thereby added to principal, which shall thereafter accrue interest) on the last day of each fiscal quarter (“Elevated PIK-B Interest”; together with the Initial PIK-B Interest, the “PIK-B Interest”).

The Borrower must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each Interest Period by delivering a written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Tranche B Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Interest Period which notice shall be irrevocable. In the absence of such an election for any Interest Period, interest on New Tranche B Loans shall be payable according to the election for the previous Interest Period; provided, however, subject to Section 2.05(b) of Appendix 2, at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may not elect PIK-B Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section, the Borrower may file materials with the SEC stating its intention regarding the election of the form of interest provided, that such filing shall not constitute notice unless a copy of such filing is delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Tranche B Lender. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected Initial PIK-B Interest for the Interest Period beginning on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date.

Appendix 2 – Page 3

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (including, without limitation, at any time during an Interest Period), at the request of the Requisite Tranche B Lenders (which such request may be made by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Requisite Tranche B Lenders), (i) all outstanding Tranche B Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligations as provided in Section 2.05(a) of Appendix 2 (the “Tranche B Default Rate”) and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing shall be payable in cash on demand; provided, that, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(e), all outstanding Tranche B Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the Tranche B Default Rate automatically and without any notice from Administrative Agent, the Requisite Tranche B Lenders or any other Person.

(c) Accrued interest on New Tranche B Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of Appendix 2 shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) of Appendix 2; provided that (i) interest accrued at the Tranche B Default Rate pursuant to Appendix 2 shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of New Tranche B Loans, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

2.06 Optional Prepayments. At any time and from time to time, the Borrower, at its option, may repay New Tranche B Loans, in whole or in part. Each such repayment shall include all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of New Tranche B Loans being repaid (including, but not limited to, outstanding PIK-B Interest) through the date of repayment; provided that each partial repayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of New Tranche B Loans. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.06 of the Appendix 2 to the repayment of New Tranche B Loans shall be applied to the outstanding New Tranche B Loans, (i) first, towards towards payment of interest then outstanding (including, but not limited to, any outstanding PIK-B Interest) and fees then due hereunder on account of the Tranche B Obligations, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then outstanding hereunder and all other Tranche B Obligations, with all such amounts distributed ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest and fees then owed to such parties.

2.07 Solvency. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, that, after giving effect to the New Tranche B Loans, the Loans, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Eighth Amendment and the payment and accrual of all transaction costs in connection with the foregoing, the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are Solvent.

Appendix 2 – Page 4

2.08 Payment of Taxes, Etc. So long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, each Credit Party agrees, unless the Requisite Lenders and the Requisite Tranche B Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, to comply with the following covenants. The Borrower does not intend to treat the New Tranche B Loans as being a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. In the event the Borrower determines that the New Tranche B Loans are required to be so treated, it will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof.

2.09 Use of Proceeds. So long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, each Credit Party agrees, unless the Requisite Lenders and the Requisite Tranche B Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, to comply with the following covenants. No Credit Party nor any Person acting on behalf of such Credit Party has taken or shall take, nor permit any of the Credit Parties to take any action which might cause any of the Loan Documents to violate Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereinafter be in effect, including without limitation, the use of the proceeds of New Tranche B Loans to purchase or carry any margin stock in violation of Regulation T, U or X.

2.10 Intentionally Omitted.
