     Section 2.01 Commitments.

               (i) each Revolving Loan Lender severally agrees to make loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date to the Final Maturity Date, or until the earlier reduction of its Revolving Credit Commitment to zero in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the then extant Borrowing Base;

               (ii) each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment; and

               (iii) each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each a “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) to the Borrower at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date, or until the earlier reduction of its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment to zero in accordance with the terms hereof, in an amount requested by the Borrower not to exceed such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of (A) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Amount, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loans previously made hereunder (without regard to any repayment or prepayment thereof).

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Revolving Loans” (as defined in the Original Financing Agreement) outstanding under the Original Financing Agreement on the Effective Date, if any (the “Existing Revolving Loans”) shall be converted into Revolving Loans hereunder, it being understood that no repayment of the Existing Revolving Loans is being effected hereby, but merely an amendment, restatement, and renewal in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Revolving Loans made pursuant to the conversion of any Existing Revolving Loans into Revolving Loans shall be deemed made by the Revolving Loan Lenders proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

          (c) Further notwithstanding the foregoing:

               (i) The aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time to the Borrower shall not exceed the lower of (A) the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations and (B) the difference between (x) the then current Borrowing Base and (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero on the Final Maturity Date. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans, on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

          (d) The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan made on the Effective Date shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment. Any principal amount of the Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

          (e) Any principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

     Section 2.02 Making the Loans.

          (a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice (immediately confirmed in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.02 hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”)), (i) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date that is 3 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan (or such shorter

period as the Administrative Agent is willing, in its sole discretion, to accommodate from time to time), or (ii) in the case of a Reference Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the of the proposed Loan (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent is willing, in its sole discretion, to accommodate from time to time). Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (A) the principal amount of the proposed Loan, and (B) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day, and, with respect to the Term Loan, must be the Effective Date, (C) whether the proposed Loan is to be a Reference Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. If no election as to the type of Loan is specified, then the requested Loan shall be a Reference Rate Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Rate Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Except for Revolving Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 3.01(c), each Revolving Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $100,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than 4 Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be made during the period of time from the Effective Date to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date and each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $50,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof

          (c) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Term Loan Commitment, and the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

               (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment,

Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Section 2.02(d); provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders prior to the time of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. 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 such Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Revolving Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office or the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

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

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

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

               (ii) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall

promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

     Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

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

          (b) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be repayable in consecutive quarterly installments, each in an amount equal to $1,250,000, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October commencing on April 1, 2008.

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

          (g) 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 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 satisfactory to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) 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 assigns).

On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans hereunder.

                    (A) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of the Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Administrative Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Commitment of the type to which such LIBOR Notice relates.

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

                    (C) The Borrower shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. The Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

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

               (iii) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

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

                    (B) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and the Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (1) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the

Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans, and (2) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

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

     Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitments; Prepayment of Loans.

          (a) Reduction of Commitments.

               (i) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. The Borrower may reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.02, (C) the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time and (D) the stated amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been made and not withdrawn. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $1,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable; provided that, a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of financing that will refinance the Indebtedness under this Agreement, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date), and if such notice is revoked then, anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the failure to terminate the Commitments on the date specified in such notice shall not constitute an Event of Default. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.

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

               (iii) Delayed Draw Term Loans. The Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to the extent that such Lender makes a Delayed Draw Term Loan to the Borrower.

          (b) Optional Prepayment.

               (i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may prepay the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty other than as set forth in the Fee Letter.

               (ii) Term Loan. So long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) Availability is greater than or equal to $10,000,000 after giving effect to such payment, the Borrower may, upon at least 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Final Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).

               (iii) Delayed Draw Term Loans. So long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) Availability is greater than or equal to $10,000,000 after giving effect to such payment, and (C) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan has been paid in full, the Borrower may, upon at least 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid.

          (c) Mandatory Prepayment.

               (i) The Borrower will immediately prepay the Revolving Loans within 1 Business Day at any time that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess. On each day that any Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding, the Borrower shall hereby be deemed to represent and warrant to the Agents and the Lenders that the Borrowing Base calculated as of such day equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on such day. If at any time after the Borrower has complied with the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c)(i), the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations is greater than the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (y) the then current Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of such excess, which cash collateral shall be deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrower, at such time as the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans no longer exceeds the then current Borrowing Base.

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

               (iii) The Administrative Agent shall on each Business Day apply all funds transferred to or deposited in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans.

               (iv) Within 10 days of delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of audited annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii), commencing with the delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of the financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2007 or, if such financial statements are not delivered to the Agents and the Lenders on the date such statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii), 10 days after the date such statements are required to be delivered to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the greater of (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, and (y) 50% of North American Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its North American Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, minus (B) the sum of (x) the amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan made during such period pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), and (y) the amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Delayed Draw Term Loans made during such period pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii).

               (v) Within 1 Business Day of delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of the Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 7.01(a), the Borrower will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to the extent that the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, plus the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Collections from Accounts Receivable of the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors during the 180 days immediately preceding such date, to the full extent of any such excess.

               (vi) Within 1 Business Day of the receipt of any proceeds of any Disposition by the Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and within 3 Business Days of the receipt of any proceeds of any Disposition by any Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent, in each case other than a Permitted Disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition of the type described in clauses (a), (b), and (s) of the definition of “Permitted Dispositions”), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Loans) shall exceed $250,000 for all such Dispositions in any Fiscal Year. Nothing contained in this subsection (vi) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than a Permitted Disposition.

               (vii) Within 1 Business Day of the receipt of any proceeds of any issuance or incurrence by the Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness and within 3 Business Days of the receipt of any proceeds of any issuance or incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of any Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness referred to in clauses (a), (b), (d) — (j), and (l) — (s) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (vii) shall not be deemed to be

implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

               (viii) Within 1 Business Day of the sale or issuance by the Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock and within 3 Business Days of the sale or issuance by any Foreign Subsidiary of any shares of its Capital Stock (in each case, other than issuances of (A) common Capital Stock by any Subsidiary of the Parent to its parent, (B) Capital Stock issued by the Parent pursuant to a stock incentive plan for its or its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors or employees, or (C) common Capital Stock of the Parent issued upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes in accordance with the Indenture for the 10% Senior Convertible Notes or the Series A Preferred Stock), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (viii) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale or issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

               (ix) Within 1 Business Day of the receipt by the Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts and within 3 Business Days of the receipt by any Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Extraordinary Receipts received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Loans) shall exceed $250,000 for all such Extraordinary Receipts in any Fiscal Year.

               (x) If, at any time, (A) the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Term Loan Obligations, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loan Obligations, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds (B) the product of (I) 2.00 times (II) TTM EBITDA calculated as of the last month for which financial statements have most recently been delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) (such excess being referred to as the “Limiter Excess”), then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in aggregate amount equal to the Limiter Excess.

          (d) Application of Payments.

               (i) Except as set forth in Section 2.05(d)(iii) below, each prepayment made pursuant to subsections (c)(iv), (c)(vi), (c)(vii), (c)(viii), and (c)(ix) above shall be applied, first, to the Term Loan, until paid in full, second, to the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full, third, to the Revolving Loans, until paid in full, and fourth, to cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit in an amount up to 105% of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, until such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letters of Credit may be drawn. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Final Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).

               (ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to subsections (c)(v) and (c)(x) above shall be applied, first, to the Revolving Loans, until paid in full, second, to cash

collateralization of the Letters of Credit in an amount up to 105% of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, until such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letters of Credit may be drawn, third to the Term Loan, until paid in full, and fourth, to the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Final Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).

               (iii) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(vi), with respect to proceeds resulting from the Disposition of Accounts Receivable or the Disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or Capital Stock of any Person, which Disposition includes Accounts Receivable and other assets, or pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ix), with respect to insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or payments in lieu thereof related to a casualty or other loss which includes the loss of Accounts Receivable, in each case, shall be applied as follows: (A) an amount up to the book value of such Accounts Receivable (determined at the time of such Disposition or event resulting in such insurance proceeds or condemnation award) shall be applied, (1) first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, until paid in full, (2) second, to cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit in an amount up to 105% of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, until such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letters of Credit may be drawn, (3) third, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, until paid in full, and (4) fourth, the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, until paid in full, and (B) any remaining proceeds shall be applied, (1) first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, until paid in full, (2) second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, until paid in full, (3) third, to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, until paid in full, and (4) fourth, to cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit in an amount up to 105% of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, until such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letters of Credit may be drawn.

               (iv) The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(vi) or Section 2.05(c)(ix) with Reinvestment Eligible Funds so long as: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such Person receives such Reinvestment Eligible Funds or on the date such amounts are to be released to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (iv), (B) the Borrower delivers a notice (a “Reinvestment Notice”) on or prior to the date that the applicable Person is required to apply the monies constituting such Reinvestment Eligible Funds notifying the Agents of the intent of the applicable Person to use such Reinvestment Eligible Funds (1) to repair, restore, or replace the assets that were the subject of the Disposition, casualty or condemnation giving rise to such amounts with assets of equal or greater fair market value which will be useful in the conduct of their business in the ordinary course of business, (2) within the period specified in such notice, which period shall not to exceed the earlier of (x) 180 days after the receipt of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds by the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiary and (y) the Final Maturity Date, and (C) pending the

reinvestment described in clause (B)(1) above, such Reinvestment Eligible Amounts are deposited in a cash collateral account over which Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) has a perfected first-priority Lien. If all or any portion of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within the period specified in the Reinvestment Notice, the remaining portion shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) on the last day of such specified period.

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

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

     Section 2.06 Fees.

          (a) Unused Line Fee. From and after the Effective Date and until the date that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month for the month just ended, commencing October 1, 2007, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) (i) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment minus (ii) the sum of the average daily principal amount of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding during such month, times (b) one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum for the number of days in said month.

          (b) Fee Letter. In addition to the fees set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

     Section 2.07 Securitization. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Borrower shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Borrower under the Loan

Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrower the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Agent or Lender in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.

     Section 2.08 Taxes.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on (or measured by) the net income of any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a “Transferee”)) as a result of a present or former connection between such Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing the tax (other than any such connection arising solely from such recipient having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any of the Loan Documents), (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States, or (iii) by the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (or any Transferee), (A) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Loan Party shall make such deductions, and (C) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”). Each Loan Party shall deliver to each

Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

          (c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

          (d) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof after the Effective Date, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Agents (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender which (x) is an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender and (y) does not deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 12.07(b) for recordation pursuant to Section 12.07(c), to the assigning Lender only, and in the case of a participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) a properly completed and duly executed copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax and payments of interest hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents to the Agents and the Borrower that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Parent and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agents in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof after the Effective Date, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from any Agent, the assigning Lender or the Lender granting a participation, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

          (e) The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to

payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

          (f) 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.

          (g) If any Loan Party is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender as a result of a change of law occurring after the date hereof, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file or provide to Agent any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Agent 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 Lender to disclose any information such Lender deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that the mere existence of fees, charges, costs or expenses that such Loan Party has offered and agreed to pay on behalf of the Lender shall not be deemed to be disadvantageous to the Lender.

          (h) If any additional amount payable by any Loan Party is made to or for the account of any Lender on account of Taxes then, if any Lender receives a refund of such Taxes, such Lender shall reimburse to the Borrower such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender that are related to such refund; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs and computations, and (ii) nothing herein shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Lender to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate; provided further that any Loan Party, upon request of any Agent or Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or Lender in the event such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority.

     Section 2.09 Conversion Election. If the Delayed Draw Term Loan Amount is less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, effective as of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date, elect to convert the Delayed Draw Term Loans into a part of the Term Loan (the “Conversion Election”) by providing written notice to the Agents on or prior to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date. If the Borrower makes the Conversion Election, effective as of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date, and without any further action or agreement by any Person, the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall, for all purposes under this

Agreement and the Loan Documents (including the applicable interest rate accruing from and after such date), be converted into (and be re-designated as) a part of the Term Loan (such that the principal amount of the Term Loan shall be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans) and shall cease to be Delayed Draw Term Loans. Such conversion shall not extinguish, release or discharge any Obligations (including accrued and unpaid interest) outstanding under the Loan Documents, as in effect prior to such conversion, but instead shall be considered, for all purposes to be a continuation (as converted) of such Obligations.

ARTICLE III.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

     Section 3.01 Letter of Credit Guaranty.

          (a) In order to assist the Borrower in establishing or opening standby letters of credit, which shall not have expiration dates that exceed 12 months from the date of issuance (although, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any such standby letter of credit may be extendable for successive periods of up to 12 months on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and subject to the conditions set forth in Article V) (each a “Letter of Credit”), with the L/C Issuer, the Borrower has requested the Administrative Agent to join in the applications for such Letters of Credit, or guarantee payment or performance of such Letters of Credit and any drafts thereunder through the issuance of a Letter of Credit Guaranty, thereby lending the Administrative Agent’s credit to that of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent has agreed (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.01(a)) to do so. 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 Borrower will be the account party for the application for each Letter of Credit, which shall be 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 reasonably satisfactory 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the appointment of Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. or another financial institution capable of providing letters of credit as the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Lenders shall have no obligation whatsoever to issue or arrange for the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if Borrower has fully satisfied all of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 (it being understood and agreed that any request by Borrower to establish or open a Letter of Credit may be declined for any reason or no reason in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent).

          (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 aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (ii) the difference between (A) the

Borrowing Base and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (iii) the L/C Subfacility. In addition, the terms and conditions of all Letters of Credit and all changes or modifications thereof by the Borrower 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 5 days prior to the Final Maturity Date unless, on or prior to 5 days prior to the Final Maturity Date either (A) such Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% 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 or the L/C Issuer (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) or (B) the Borrower 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.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Loan Account with the amount of any and all Indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of any kind (including indemnification for breakage costs, capital adequacy and reserve requirement charges) incurred by the Agents or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or incurred by the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit at the earlier of (i) payment by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or (ii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 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 Section 2.02 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 Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

          (d) The Borrower unconditionally indemnifies each Agent and each Lender and holds 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 non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower further agrees to jointly and severally hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from any errors or omission, negligence or misconduct by the L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any Agent or any Lender from any liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are

caused by such Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower’s unconditional obligations to each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit hereunder shall not be modified or diminished for any reason or in any manner whatsoever, other than as a result of such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer for the Borrower’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 Borrower 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.

     Section 3.02 Participations.

          (a) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance by the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in all obligations of the Administrative Agent in such Letter of Credit (including all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto pursuant to the Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise).

          (b) Sharing of Payments. In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any payment in respect of the Letter of Credit Guaranty and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall charge the Loan Account in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation, in accordance with Sections 3.01(c) and 4.02 of this Agreement.

          (c) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of a Revolving Loan Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Agents, the Revolving Loan Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, without any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

               (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, such Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other party and the beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit);

               (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

               (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

               (v) any failure by any Agent to provide any notices required pursuant to this Agreement relating to such Letter of Credit;

               (vi) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

               (vii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

     Section 3.03 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Request for Issuance. The Borrower may, upon notice not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least 2 Business Days in advance of the issuance thereof, request the Administrative Agent to assist the Borrower in establishing or opening a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the L/C Issuer, a Letter of Credit Application, together with any necessary related documents. The Administrative Agent shall not provide support, pursuant to the Letter of Credit Guaranty, if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed issuance date for such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 will not have been satisfied on such date, and the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders, in accordance with the Revolving Loan Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares (x) for any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to 3.75 percentage points per annum of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, payable on the date such Letter of Credit is issued or extended and (y) for any amendment to an existing Letter of Credit that increases the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, a non-refundable fee equal to 3.75 percentage points per annum of the increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, payable on the date of such increase (the “Letter of Credit Fees”).

          (c) L/C Issuer Charges. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the standard charges assessed by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, administration, amendment, payment or cancellation of Letters of Credit.

          (d) Charges to the Loan Account. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Sections 3.01(c) and 4.02 of this Agreement with the amount of any Letter of Credit Fees or charges due under this Section 3.03.

ARTICLE IV.

FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

     Section 4.01 [Intentionally Omitted].

     Section 4.02 Payments; Computations and Statements.

          (a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a 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 Section 2.02 of this Agreement; provided, however, that without limiting the Administrative Agent’s obligation to charge items to the Loan Account (including pursuant to the proviso of the next sentence), the foregoing shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make Revolving Loans if all of the conditions to funding under this Agreement (including those set forth in Section 2.01 and Article V) have not been satisfied or waived. The Lenders and the Borrowers confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrowers and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent,

charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with any amount due and payable under any Loan Document. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

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

     Section 4.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

          (a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of the Reimbursement Obligations, all payments of fees (other than the fees with respect to Letters of Credit provided for in Section 3.03(b)(ii) and the audit and collateral monitoring fees provided for in Section 4.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

          (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to the Agents or the L/C Issuer until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Agent Advances until paid in full, (iii) third, ratably to pay principal of Agent Advances until paid in full, (iv) fourth, ratably to pay any fees, expense reimbursements, and indemnities then due to the Revolving Loan Lenders until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably to pay principal of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations (it being understood and agreed that with respect to any Letter of Credit, the amount of such cash collateral must be equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn) until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably to pay any fees, expense reimbursements, and indemnities then due to the Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (viii) eighth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full; (ix) ninth, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full, (x) tenth, ratably to pay any fees, expense reimbursements, and indemnities then due to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (xi) eleventh, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full; (xii) twelfth, ratably to pay principal of the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full; and (xiii) thirteenth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.

          (c) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 4.04(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by the Borrower specified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to be for the payment of Term Loan Obligations or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Obligations then due and payable under any provision of this Agreement or the prepayment of all or part of the principal of the Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05.

          (d) For purposes of Section 4.04(b), (other than clause (xiii) thereof) “paid in full” means with respect to any Obligations, payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, specifically including in each case any of the foregoing which would accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding, except to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other interest) and fees, each arising from or related to a default, are disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided, however, that for purposes

64

of such clause (xiii), “paid in full” means with respect to any Obligations, payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, specifically including in each case any of the foregoing which would accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding.

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

     Section 4.05 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

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

          (b) If any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer, and any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto, any Lender’s, any Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s or any such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s, any Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s any such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued, or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto or any agreement to make Loans, to issue Letters of Credit or such Lender’s, such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Lender’s, such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Lender’s, such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.

          (c) All amounts payable under this Section 4.05 shall bear interest from the date that is 10 days after the date of demand by any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer until payment in full to such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 4.05, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Lender’s, such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 4.05, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 4.06 Joint and Several Liability of each Person Composing the Borrower.

MANAGEMENT, COLLECTION AND STATUS OF
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND OTHER COLLATERAL

     Section 8.01 Collection of Accounts Receivable; Management of Collateral.

          (a) On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors shall assist the Administrative Agent in (i) establishing, and, during the term of this Agreement, maintaining one or more lockboxes identified on Schedule 8.01 hereto (collectively, the “Lockboxes”) with the financial institutions set forth on Schedule 8.01 hereto or such other financial institutions selected by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (each being referred to as a “Lockbox Bank”), and (ii) establishing, and during the term of this Agreement, maintaining an account (the “Collection Account”) with each Lockbox Bank as set forth on Schedule 8.01. The Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors shall irrevocably instruct their Account Debtors, with respect to Accounts Receivable of the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors, to remit all payments to be made by checks or other drafts to the Lockboxes and to remit all payments to be made by wire transfer or by Automated Clearing House, Inc. payment as directed by the Administrative Agent and shall instruct each Lockbox Bank to deposit all amounts received in its Lockbox to the Collection Account at such Lockbox Bank on the day received or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Until the Administrative Agent has advised the Borrower to the contrary after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors may and will enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on the

Accounts Receivable of the Borrower and such Domestic Guarantors for the Administrative Agent’s benefit and on the Administrative Agent’s behalf, but at the Borrower’s expense; such privilege shall terminate, at the election of any Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness received directly by the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor from any Account Debtor, as proceeds from Accounts Receivable of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, or as proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and upon receipt be deposited by the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof into a Collection Account. Neither the Borrower nor any Domestic Guarantor shall commingle such collections with the Borrower’s or such Domestic Guarantor’s (as the case may be) own funds or the funds of any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor (as the case may be) or with the proceeds of any assets not included in the Collateral. All funds received in the Collection Account shall be sent by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House, Inc. payment to the Payment Office to be credited to the Administrative Agent’s Account for application at the end of each Business Day to reduce the then principal balance of the Revolving Loans, conditional upon final payment to the Administrative Agent. No checks, drafts or other instruments received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such checks, drafts or instruments have actually been collected.

          (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, and at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall, send a notice of assignment or notice of the Lenders’ security interest to any and all Account Debtors and, thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable and payment intangibles of the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors shall not, without prior written consent of the Agents, grant any extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable or payment intangible, compromise or settle any Account Receivable or payment intangible for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

          (c) The Borrower and each Domestic Guarantor hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the Borrower’s and such Domestic Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact provided that each Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to (i) endorse the Borrower’s or such Domestic Guarantor’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, (ii) sign the Borrower’s or such Domestic Guarantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, assignments and verifications of Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles and notices to Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles of the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, (iii) send verification of Accounts Receivable of the

Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor, and (iv) notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor to such address as such Agent may designate and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement; provided that such Agent or designees shall use reasonable efforts to simultaneously provide a copy of such notification to the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor (it being understood that failure of such Agent or designee to provide such notice to the Borrower shall not result in liability to such Agent or designee hereunder). All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents are paid in full and all of the Commitments are terminated.

          (d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts Receivable of the Borrower or the Domestic Guarantors or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

          (e) If any Account Receivable of the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Borrower’s account and to charge the Borrower therefor. The Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable of the Borrower or the Domestic Guarantors includes any taxes due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of such Account Receivable and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery creating such Account Receivable.

          (f) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as provided by law.

     Section 8.02 Accounts Receivable Documentation. The Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors will at such intervals as the Administrative Agent may require, execute and deliver confirmatory written assignments of the Accounts Receivable to the Administrative Agent and furnish such further schedules or information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request relating to the Accounts Receivable, including sales invoices or the equivalent, credit memos issued, remittance advices, reports and copies of deposit slips and copies of original shipping or delivery receipts for all merchandise sold. In addition, the Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors shall notify the Administrative Agent of any non compliance in respect of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 8.03. The items to be provided under this Section 8.02 are to be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and are to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent from time to time solely for their convenience in maintaining records of the Collateral. The Borrower’s or any Domestic Guarantor’s failure to give any of such items to the Administrative Agent shall not affect, terminate, modify or otherwise limit the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. Neither the Borrower nor any Domestic Guarantor shall re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond that customary in the Borrower’s or such Domestic Guarantor’s industry, and shall not re-bill any Accounts Receivable without promptly disclosing the same to the Administrative Agent and providing the Administrative Agent with a copy of such re-billing, identifying the same as such. If the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor becomes aware of anything materially detrimental to any of the Borrower’s or any Domestic Guarantor’s customers’ credit, the Borrower or such Domestic Guarantor will promptly advise the Administrative Agent thereof.

     Section 8.03 Status of Accounts Receivable. With respect to Accounts Receivable of any Loan Party at the time the Accounts Receivable becomes subject to the Collateral Agent’s Lien, each Loan Party covenants, represents and warrants: (a) such Loan Party shall be the sole owner, free and clear of all Liens (except for the Liens granted in the favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and Permitted Liens); (b) unless otherwise indicated in writing to the Administrative Agent, each Account Receivable identified by Borrower as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent shall be a good and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Account Debtor therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto; (c) no Eligible Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent shall be subject to any defense, offset, counterclaim, discount or allowance except as may be stated in the invoice relating thereto, discounts and allowances as may be customary in such Loan Party’s business and as otherwise disclosed to the Agents; (d) none of the transactions underlying or giving rise to any Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent shall violate any applicable state or federal laws or regulations, and all documents relating thereto shall be legally sufficient under such laws or regulations and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms; (e) no agreement under which any deduction or offset of any kind, other than normal trade discounts, may be granted or shall have been made by such Loan Party at or before the time any Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent is created; (f) all agreements, instruments and other documents relating to any Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base

report submitted to either Agent shall be true and correct in all material respects and in all material respects what they purport to be; (g) to such Loan Party’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements that appear on all material agreements, instruments and other documents relating to any Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent shall be genuine and all signatories and endorsers shall have full capacity to contract; (h) such Loan Party shall maintain books and records pertaining to said Collateral in such detail, form and scope as the Agents shall reasonably require; (i) such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days) notify the Agents if any Account Receivable identified by the Borrower or any Domestic Guarantor as an Eligible Account Receivable in a Borrowing Base report submitted to either Agent arises out of contracts with any Governmental Authority, and will execute any instruments and take any steps required by the Agents in order that all monies due or to become due under any such contract shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent and notice thereof given to such Governmental Authority under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar state or local law; (j) such Loan Party will, immediately upon learning thereof, report to the Agents any material loss or destruction of, or substantial damage to, any of the Collateral, and any demand, notice, document or other information received by it that question or calls into doubt the validity, enforceability or collectability of any of the Eligible Accounts Receivable; (k) if any amount payable under or in connection with any Account Receivable is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, such promissory note or instrument shall be immediately pledged, endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as additional Collateral; (l) such Loan Party shall not re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond that which is customary in the ordinary course of its business and in the industry; and (m) such Loan Party is not and shall not be entitled to pledge any Agent’s or any Lender’s credit on any purchases or for any purpose whatsoever.

     Section 8.04 Collateral Custodian. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, and at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall, at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the premises of any Loan Party a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Agents’ and the Lenders’ interests. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such custodian and to do whatever the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to preserve the Collateral. All costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent by reason of the employment of the custodian shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a).

Each Lender (and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform the duties of each such Agent as set forth in this Agreement including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and paid to such Agent, and, subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, to distribute promptly to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of all payments so received; (ii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all material notices and agreements received by such Agent and not required to be delivered to each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Agents shall not have any liability to the Lenders for any Agent’s inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders; (iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans and Agent Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any

other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (viii) subject to Section 10.03 of this Agreement, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not be required to refuse to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit and the Agents shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of any Agent, exposes such Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

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

     Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including 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 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 collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 10.03 are subject to, and shall not limit in any respect, the provisions of Section 12.07. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

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

     Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent or the L/C Issuer is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent and the L/C Issuer from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or the L/C Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,

judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

     Section 10.07 Successor Agent.

          (a) Each Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender; provided that the Borrower and each Lender agree that Ableco may resign as the Administrative Agent without any notice if Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. or its Affiliates is appointed as the successor Administrative Agent. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent which successor Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided that the Borrower hereby agrees that any of Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. or its Affiliates is an acceptable successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          (c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) 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.

     Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.

          (a) Either Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which such Agent, in its sole 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 with respect to the Letters of Credit, and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.04; provided, however, that (i) the Agents shall not make any Agent Advance that would cause the aggregate principal amount of all Agent Advances outstanding at such time to exceed the lesser of (A) $2,000,000, and (B) an amount equal to 10% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, without the prior consent of the Required Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance that would cause the aggregate principal amount of all Agent Advances made by the Administrative Agent outstanding at such time to exceed the lesser of (A) $1,000,000, and (B) an amount equal to 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent, (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not make any Agent Advance that would cause the aggregate principal amount of all Agent Advances made by the Collateral Agent outstanding at such time to exceed the lesser of (A) $1,000,000, and (B) an amount equal to 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent. The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.02. The Agent making such Agent Advance shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties to the Borrower intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, or Letter of Credit Guaranties (as the case may be) would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the Borrowing Base, without the prior consent of all Lenders, except that the Administrative Agent may make such additional Revolving Loans or provide such additional Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, or Letter of Credit Guaranties (as the case may be) will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the Borrowing Base, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion; provided, however: (i) the total principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, or Letter of Credit Guaranties (as the case may be) which the Administrative Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations equal or exceed the Borrowing Base shall not (A) exceed, when taken together with Agent Advances made by the Administrative Agent, the lesser of (x) $1,000,000, and (y) an amount equal to 5% of the Borrowing Base, and (B) cause the total principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) no such additional Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, or Letter of Credit Guaranties (as the case may be) shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days from the date such additional Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit, or Letter of Credit Guaranty was made or issued (as the case may be), except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree. Without limiting its obligations under Section 10.05, each Revolving Loan Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Administrative Agent,

upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Revolving Loan or obligation of the Administrative Agent in respect of each such Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty (as the case may be). If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i)(A) above, this Section 10.08(b) shall not restrict the Administrative Agent’s ability to make Agent Advances.

          (c) 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 in full in cash of all Obligations; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(c).

          (d) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(c)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(c). 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 and the Lenders 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.

          (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest

in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

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

ARTICLE XI.

GUARANTY

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

     Section 11.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this Article 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 Article are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article shall be irrevocable, absolute and

unconditional irrespective of, and, to the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

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

          (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

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

          (d) 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 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 Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agents, the Lenders, 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 11.03 Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article and any requirement that the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Article from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to any Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements

contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article, and acknowledges that this Article is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

     Section 11.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this Article and (ii) the Final Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitments, its Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.07.

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

Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Article or after termination of the Commitments) if all or any portion of the Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Loan Party whether pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise.

     Section 11.06 German Guarantor.

          (a) Each Agent and each Lender agrees to restrict the enforcement of any guarantee or indemnity granted by a Guarantor which is organized under the laws of Germany and constituted in the form of a German limited liability company “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung — GmbH” (each, a “Relevant German Guarantor”) only if and only to the extent (sofern und soweit) that (i) such guarantee or indemnity secures the liabilities of an Affiliate other than the liabilities of any Subsidiary of a Relevant German Guarantor and — for the avoidance of doubt — the liabilities of such Relevant German Guarantor and (ii) the payment under such guarantee or indemnity towards the secured obligation would otherwise cause the Relevant German Guarantor’s net assets, taking into account good will and other hidden reserves in its assets, to fall not only temporarily below its registered share capital “Stammkapital”. For the purposes of the calculation of any sums to be enforced, loans or other liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents shall be disregarded.

          (b) In a situation where a Relevant German Guarantor does not have sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital as described in clause (a) above, such Relevant German Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by the applicable Insolvency Laws, dispose, in consultation with the Agents, of all assets which are not necessary for its business “n“icht betriebsnotwendig” on market terms where the relevant assets are shown in the balance sheet of such Relevant German Guarantor with a book value which is lower than the market value of such assets.

          (c) The limitation pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall not apply if following the call of guarantee obligations “Inanspruchnahme” or the enforcement of security interests by an Agent or a Lender, the Relevant German Guarantor does not provide conclusive evidence to such Agent or Lender, in particular by submitting interim financial statements for the last completed month within 10 Business Days following receipt of such call of guarantee obligations or enforcement of security interests, or, following receipt of interim financial statements, by submitting audited financial statements up to the same month within 25 Business Days following a further request by an Agent or a Lender.

               (viii) amend, modify, or waive any provision of Section 10 pertaining to the Collateral Agent, the definition of, or the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, or any other rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, and

               (ix) amend, modify, or waive any provision of Section 10 pertaining to the Administrative Agent or any other rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     Section 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

     Section 12.04 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys Fees. The Borrower will pay on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, client charges and expenses of one primary counsel and any local counsel for the Collateral Agent and one primary counsel and any local counsel for the Administrative Agent, accounting, due diligence, periodic field audits, physical counts, valuations, investigations, searches and filings, monitoring of assets, appraisals of Collateral, title searches and reviewing environmental assessments, miscellaneous disbursements, examination, travel, lodging and meals, arising from or relating to: (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the preparation of any additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim

     Section 12.05 Right of Set-off.

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

          (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from

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

     Section 12.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 12.07 Assignments 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 permitted 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.

          (b) Each Lender may (x) with the written consent of the Collateral Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned 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 (A) all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and any Term Loan made by it, or (B) all or a portion of its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and any Delayed Draw Term Loan made by it, and (y) with the written consent of each Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned 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) 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 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) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment is made in consultation with (but without the requirement of consent of) the Borrower (except such consultation shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender, a Related Fund of such Lender, or Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.

or its Affiliates), (iii) except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 12.07(b), the parties to each such assignment shall 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, a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required (y) in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to a Related Fund of such Lender or (z) if Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, waives payment of such fee), and (iv) no written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be required (1) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to 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 Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.07(b), a Lender may assign any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender without delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents or to any other Person (a “Related Party Assignment”); provided, however, that (I) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until an Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recordation on the Register, (II) the Collateral Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until receipt by the Collateral Agent of a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 12.07(e), (III) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, and (IV) an Assignment and Acceptance between the assigning Lender and an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance and recorded on the Related Party Register (as such term is defined in Section 12.07(d) herein).

          (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

123

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 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. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.07(d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment pursuant to the last sentence of Section 12.07(b) as to which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (the “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrower. Any such Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b) (which consent of the Collateral Agent must be evidenced by the Collateral Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register and provide to the Collateral Agent a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance.

          (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,

124

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 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 maintain a register for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower 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. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (h) Any Non-U.S. Lender who is assigned an interest in any portion of such Registered Loan pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance shall comply with Section 2.08(d).

          (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, 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 the 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 Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 4.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.

     Section 12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be

equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile 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 12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT COLLATERAL AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE COLLATERAL AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES, AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY THE MAILING (BY REGISTERED MAIL OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID) OR DELIVERING OF A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO (i) WITH RESPECT TO LOAN PARTIES, C/O THE BORROWER, AT THE BORROWER’S ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01, AND (ii) WITH RESPECT TO OTHER PARTIES HERETO AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES FOR SUCH PARTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT

FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

     Section 12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

     Section 12.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. 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 (which may be by electronic mail) 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.

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

     Section 12.14 Reinstatement; 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 12.15 Indemnification. In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and 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 out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees, costs and expenses of one primary counsel and any local counsel for the Collateral Agent and one primary counsel and any local counsel for the Administrative Agent) 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 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 Section 12.15 for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or caused by a breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document. Such indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This Indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the discharge of the Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

     Section 12.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Sections 2.06 or 3.03 hereof, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

     Section 12.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.

     Section 12.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at an time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.18 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such

Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.18.

          For purposes of this Section 12.18, 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 12.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable companies, any material non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (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 (it being understood that the person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties (it being understood that the person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (iv) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 12.19. Each Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or identification; provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that each Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof and that each Agent and each Lender may be subject to review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information.

     Section 12.21 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated

     Section 12.22 Release of Security Interest or Guaranty. Upon the sale or other disposition of any Collateral that is expressly permitted by this Agreement or which has been expressly consented to in accordance with the terms hereof, or the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor that is permitted by this Agreement or to which has been consented to in accordance with the terms hereof, for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a release, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agents a certificate of an Authorized Officer (a) stating that the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (b) specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, at such Loan Party’s expense, so long as the Collateral Agent (i) has no reason to believe that the facts stated in such certificate are not true and correct, and (ii) shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it have been made for delivery of the Net Cash Proceeds if and as required by Section 2.05(c), execute and deliver such releases as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Liens granted by any Loan Document shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Loan Parties or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Collateral Agent will execute and deliver such documents and termination statements to terminate such Liens as any Loan Party reasonably requests to evidence such termination.

     Section 12.23 Acknowledgment of Prior Obligations and Continuation Thereof. Each Loan Party (a) consents to the amendment and restatement of the Original Financing Agreement by this Agreement; (b) acknowledges and agrees that (i) its obligations owing to Agents and Lenders, and (ii) the prior grant or grants of security interests in favor of Agents and Lenders in its properties and assets, under each “Loan Document” as defined in the Original Financing Agreement (the “Original Loan Documents”), and each Loan Document to which it is a party shall be in respect of the obligations of such Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (c) reaffirms (i) all of its obligations owing to Agents and Lenders, and (ii) all prior grants of security interests in favor of Agents and Lenders under each Original Loan Document, each Loan Document, or any instrument securing the obligations under the Original Loan Documents or the Loan Documents; and (d) agrees that, except as expressly amended hereby or in connection herewith, each of the Original Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. The Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all outstanding principal (if any), interest (if any) and fees and other obligations under the Original Financing Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date shall, to the extent not paid on the Effective Date, from and after the Effective Date, be, without duplication, Obligations owing and payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, shall accrue interest thereon as specified in this Agreement, and shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Although each Loan Party has been informed of the matters set forth herein and has acknowledged and agreed to same, it understands that Agents and Lenders shall have no obligation to inform it of such matters in the future or to seek its acknowledgement or agreement to future amendments or modifications, and nothing herein shall create such a duty.

     Section 12.24 No Novation. This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Original Financing Agreement or discharge or release the obligations or the liens or priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor.

Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Original Financing Agreement or any of the security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, guaranties or other loan documents executed in connection therewith. Each Loan Party hereby (a) confirms and agrees that each Original Loan Document to which it is a party that is not being amended and restated concurrently herewith is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Effective Date, all references in any such Original Loan Document to “the Financing Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Original Financing Agreement shall mean the Original Financing Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement; and (b) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Original Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to any Agent or Lenders or to grant to any Agent or Lenders a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of such Loan Party from time to time existing in respect of the Original Financing Agreement or the Original Loan Document, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

     Section 12.25 Judgment Currency.

          (a) Each payment in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) with respect to such Obligation. The specification under this Agreement of Dollars is of the essence. The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the Obligation Currency shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

          (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the

132

Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

          (c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 12.25, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
