(d) The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of any change in the Lender’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (B) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; provided that the Lender shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (y) the Total Outstandings would exceed the Commitment or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) The Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii) below, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless the Lender has approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Lender has approved such expiry date.

(iii) The Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Lender in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Lender applicable to letters of credit generally;

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) The Lender shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Lender would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance, Amendment and Extension of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Lender in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Lender not later than 8:00 a.m., at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Lender may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Lender may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Lender may reasonably require.

(ii) Upon the Lender’s determination that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Lender’s usual and customary business practices.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Issuer shall be deemed to have authorized an extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Lender is not obligated to make any such extension if (A) the Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or it would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the Lender not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Lender will also deliver to the Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Not later than 12 p.m. Pacific Time on the date of any payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Lender (any such unreimbursed amount, an “Unreimbursed Amount”), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).

(ii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction (none of which shall be deemed waived by this subclause (ii));

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(e) Role of Lender. The Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Lender, any of its Affiliates, any of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of the Lender and its Affiliates, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(d); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Lender, and the Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(f) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Lender, (i) if the Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04 and 8.02(c) set forth additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03 and Sections 2.04 and 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Lender.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (A) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (B) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Lender. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Lender the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

2.04 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 8:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount repaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Commitment then in effect. All prepayments under this Section 2.04(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty.

2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, terminate the Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Lender not later than 8:00 a.m., five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Commitment, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Commitment, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.06 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

2.07 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.08 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee calculated for each day equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the Total Outstandings. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Up-front Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender an up-front fee of 0.20% times the Commitment, payable on the Closing Date. Such fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Lender’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.10 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.11 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.12 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 45 days prior to, the initial Maturity Date, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, on a one-time basis, request a one-year extension of the Maturity Date then in effect. Within 30 days of delivery of such notice, the Lender shall notify the Borrower whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). If the Lender fails to respond within the above time period, it shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension.

(b) If the Lender consents to such extension, the Maturity Date shall be extended to the same date in the following year, effective as of the Maturity Date then in effect (such existing Maturity Date being the “Extension Effective Date”). As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.12, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) that relate to the Loans, Letters of Credit or Loan Documents and the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) relating to this Agreement or the Credit Extensions hereunder and paid by the Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a scanned copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount so paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge

interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for Eurodollar Rate Loans or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loans, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or make continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or

(iii) impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by the Lender or any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any Lending Office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by, or the Letters of Credit issued by, the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower,

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Section 3.05, the Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan at the Eurodollar base rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Requests for Compensation. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

3.07 Mitigation Obligations. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its right and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.05, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable and (ii) in each case, would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

5.16 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were the Lender.

(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to provide to the Lender such tax forms prescribed by the IRS as are necessary or desirable to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax.

(e) The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under the Note, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

(f) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Eligible Assignee” means (a) an Affiliate of the Lender; (b) an Approved Fund; and (c) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such approval shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) the Lender or (b) an Affiliate of the Lender.

9.08 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties provided that in the case of any request, subpoena or proposed release or disclosure of Information described in clause (c) above, the party believing it is obligated to release or disclose shall, subject to compliance with the applicable law, regulations, subpoena or other legal process or demand of any Governmental Authority, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower sufficiently in advance of such release or disclosure so as to allow such Loan Party a reasonable opportunity to prevent or condition such release or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Borrower may elect or be required to deliver to the Lender Information (“Restricted Information”) the delivery of which to the Lender is restricted by a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between the Borrower and a third party other than an Affiliate of the Borrower (“Third-Party NDA”), the Borrower may condition the delivery of such Restricted Information to the Lender upon the execution by the Lender of such form of non-disclosure agreement as may be required by such Third-Party NDA. To the extent any Third-Party NDA prohibits the delivery of Restricted Information to the Lender, the Borrower will inform the Lender of such fact and upon the reasonable request of the Lender, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consent to deliver such Restricted Information to the Lender.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Lender acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

This Section 9.08 shall supersede and replace any and all confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements between the Borrower and the Lender existing as of the Closing Date.

9.09 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted

by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitment letter agreement, dated June 6, 2008, between Borrower and Lender. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.12 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, in each case in the manner and at the times prescribed herein and therein, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of such representation or warranty. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. The Borrower represents to the Lender, and the Lender acknowledges, that representations and warranties made by the Borrower hereunder in relation to WJC at any time from the Closing Date through the date of delivery of the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.01(a) in respect of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 are made in good faith based upon information available to the Borrower at such time and upon representations and warranties made by WJC or its Affiliates in connection with the Acquisition of WJC by the Borrower on or about May 23, 2008. Accordingly, while nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to modify the terms of such representations and warranties as set forth elsewhere herein or the Lender’s right to declare or enforce an Event of Default on account thereof, the Lender hereby waives any claim for damages resulting from breach of such representations and warranties to the extent concerning WJC, absent fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Borrower.

9.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SUPPLEMENT TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Customer Liability – Skyworks. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., cancelled a purchase order for a quantity of 1 million diodes, part number DMJ3947-997, at a price of $0.72 each and Skyworks has asserted that the purchase order was not cancelable. The material is in excess of the Subsidiary’s foreseeable requirements and it has refused delivery of the material.

Software Contracts. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, entered into an agreement, Cadence Installment Payment Agreement effective date of June 29, 2007 in the amount of $635,220 and the related Maintenance Service Fee Schedule of $162,000 for the period through June 28, 2010. $754,150 remains owing pursuant to these schedules.

Collectibility of AmpTech Receivables. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., on a net basis, has a receivable of $77,567 from AmpTech. The Subsidiary expects to net this against future wafer deliveries from AmpTech.

Tax Liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Borrower recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $458,000 and $412,000, respectively. The income tax expense for both periods was primarily associated with taxes from the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries. The Borrower’s income tax liability recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheets relates primarily to management’s estimate of the income tax expense in the jurisdictions in which the Borrower and its Affiliates have operations.

In January 2008, the Borrower made a $63.0 million dividend distribution from its Costa Rica subsidiary. Of the $63.0 million dividend, the majority was from previously taxed income and the remainder is taxable in 2008, on which a deferred tax liability was established in the prior year. No provision has been made for the U.S, state or additional foreign income taxes related to approximately $96.5 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which have been, or are, intended to be permanently reinvested.

Subsidiary Tax Liability – San Jose, CA. On January 1, 2007, the Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Subsidiary recognized a cumulative adjustment to the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits in the amount of $825,000, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance balances. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Subsidiary had $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits. At March 30, 2008, the Subsidiary had $1.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which was not significantly different than the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007.

Subsidiary Lease Agreement – San Jose, CA. Our Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., leases facilities, including executive offices in San Jose, California, under lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2011. Total future lease obligations as of December 31, 2007, were $14.9 million, of which $9.1 million was recorded as a liability for certain facilities that were included in our restructuring accrual (current and long-term).

The following table summarizes the Borrower’s contractual commitments that will affect our future liquidity as of December 31, 2007:


			Payments Due By Period
(in millions)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		More than 5 Years
Operating Leases⁽¹⁾	$	2.3	$	1.3	$	0.8	$	0.2	$	0.0
Deferred Compensation⁽²⁾		1.4		—		—		—		1.4
Other Obligations⁽³⁾		2.6		—		—		—		2.6

Total	$	6.3	$	1.3	$	0.8	$	0.2	$	4.0

(1)	The amounts presented represent leases of certain equipment, office and manufacturing space under operating leases. The amounts presented in this line item represent commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases.

(2)

The amount presented represents the liability for our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) established in October 2004. The Plan provides employees who are eligible to participate and the members of the Board of Directors with the opportunity to defer a specified percentage of their cash compensation. The deferred earnings are invested at the discretion of each participating employee or director and the deferred compensation we are also obligated to deliver is adjusted for increases or decreases in the deferred amount due to such investment. We include the asset deferred by the participants ($1.4 million) in the “Other noncurrent assets, net” line item of our consolidated balance sheet and our obligation to deliver the deferred compensation in the “Other long-term liabilities” line item on our consolidated balance sheet.

(3)

The balance represents the pension liability of our German subsidiary, net of the unrealized gain loss on our liability ($2.6 million). The pension liability becomes payable when the covered employees reach the age of 60 or 65. The liability was acquired through our purchase of the GaAs business of Infineon in 2002. We elected to secure the liability through a reinsurance program supported by us. We have included the reinsurance receivables ($2.9 million) in the “Other noncurrent assets, net” line item on our consolidated balance sheet and our obligation to deliver the pension obligation in the “Other long-term liabilities” line item on our consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $10.2 million in net unrecognized tax liabilities, which are included as “Long term income tax liability” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. While we have considered the impact of this obligation, we generally do not anticipate that settlement of the liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve months. Further, we are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of any cash payments required to settle these liabilities, and do not believe that the ultimate settlement of these obligations will materially affect our liquidity.

The following table summarizes the Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 (in thousands):


	Payments due by Period
Contractual obligations	Total		1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	14,909	$	4,468	$	9,397	$	1,044	$	—
Purchase obligations		3,662		3,192		470		—		—
Wafer purchase obligations		250		250		—		—		—
Total	$	18,821	$	7,910	$	9,867	$	1,044	$	—

The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc, is required to make cash payments for a restructuring accrual of $7.9 million relating to the future operating lease payments on certain facilities that were included in our restructuring plans (Please refer to the Form 10-K for WJ Communications, Inc., Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for additional detail.) The Subsidiary will make these payments through 2011. We included these amounts in the operating lease total in the table above. Excluding payments under the operating lease component included in the restructuring accrual, the other components of Other Long-Term Liabilities do not contractually require the Subsidiary to make cash payments and primarily consist of estimated operating costs on restructured facilities, deferred rent and estimated environmental costs.

Subsidiary AmpTech Agreement – San Jose, CA. On May 23, 2007, the Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc. (“WJ”), entered into a one year wafer manufacturing and supply agreement with AmpTech which provides for AmpTech to manufacture and supply wafers to WJ utilizing WJ’s wafer production processes and for WJ to purchase such wafers. During the initial term of the agreement, WJ is required to provide AmpTech with orders for a minimum quantity of wafers periodically, beginning after AmpTech is able to consistently deliver wafers. AmpTech is expected to start delivering wafers in early April of 2008 and thereafter we estimate our obligation to purchase wafers during the agreement term to be approximately $250,000.

Subsidiary Letter of Credit – San Jose, CA., The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc. has the following outstanding Standby Letters of Credit (LOC) with Comerica Bank.


LC Number	Beneficiary	Amount
629404-41	Cal Dept of Industrial Relations	$	461,662

SCHEDULE 5.06

LITIGATION

Derivative Suit. On February 28, 2007, a purported derivative action (case no. C-07-0299) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, allegedly on behalf of Borrower, against certain of Borrower’s officers and directors. On March 16, 2007, a substantially similar action (case no. C-07-0398) was filed. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants violated Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, breached their fiduciary duty, abused control, engaged in constructive fraud, corporate waste, insider selling, and gross mismanagement, and were unjustly enriched by improperly backdating stock options. The plaintiffs also allege that Borrower failed to properly account for stock options and that the defendants’ conduct caused artificial inflation in Borrower’s stock price. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and disgorgement of profits from the alleged conduct, corporate governance reform, establishment of a constructive trust over defendants’ stock options and proceeds derived therefrom, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney’s, accountant’s, and expert’s fees. On April 25, 2007, the Court consolidated the two cases. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on or about May 25, 2007. On July 23, 2007, the Borrower filed separate motions for the dismissal of all claims in each case with the District Court for the District of Oregon. On September 28, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated opposition to the Borrower’s motions for the dismissal of all claims in each case. On October 26, 2007, the Borrower filed separate reply briefs in support of its motions for the dismissal of all claims in each case. On March 13, 2008, the Court granted the Borrower’s motions for dismissal, but indicated that Plaintiffs could amend their complaint to address the grounds on which the Court based the dismissal. On March 28, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint pursuant to the Court’s ruling on the motions for dismissal.

EiC Matter. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., completed an acquisition in June 2004 of the wireless infrastructure business and associated assets from EiC which could have required the Subsidiary to pay further consideration of up to $14 million if specific revenue and gross margin targets were achieved by March 31, 2005 and 2006. The Subsidiary has determined that the revenue and gross margin targets were not met for both of the periods and this was communicated to EiC. In June 2006, EiC subsequently notified the Subsidiary that it disagrees with the Subsidiary’s conclusions. EiC has not pursued this matter further and there have been no legal claims to date on this matter.

Recent notices:

California Workers Compensation Appeals Board case no. 2006LB00383895. Current status – The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc. (“WJ”) received notice of a hearing April I, 2008. WJ has retained counsel to represent it. Probable liability is not determinable at this time. WJ is developing its defense strategy.

WJ received an information request on September 12, 2007 from the law office of Patrick L. Hinrichsen requesting information on a former employee who was injured on July 19, 2005. The former employee was terminated from WJ on August 10, 2001. WJ has not responded and there has been no other communication on this matter.

SCHEDULE 5.09

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Subsidiary Environmental Matters – California. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc. (“WJ”), has been deemed liable for contamination at its former facility located at 3333 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California (“Hillview Facility”) pursuant to an Imminent or Substantial Endangerment Order and Remedial Action Order, issued to WJ and Stanford University by the State of California Health and Welfare Agency, Department of Health Services, Toxic Substance Control Program on May 12, 1990, Order HAS¬89/90-12, as amended by Amendment to Order HSA 89/90-012. WJ has also been deemed liable for a specified share of remediation and related costs of the Hillview-Porter Regional Superfund Site pursuant to a Remedial Action Order of the State of California Health and Welfare Agency, Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division HAS-89/90-16 issued to 16 named Defendants, including WJ, on December 9, 1990 as amended on July 7, 1990 (“Hillview Regional Order”). In response to the Hillview Regional Order, the 16 named Defendants (including WJ) entered into agreements to provide for the implementation of the Hillview Regional Order obligations, including a Memorandum of Agreement for Final Cost Sharing and Implementation of the Remedial Action Plan, effective as of October 1, 1993, and for the performance of Remedial Action Plan work and a Memorandum of Final Allocation, effective as of April 15, 1994.

In July 1999, the Subsidiary, WJ, entered into a long-term Remediation Agreement with an environmental consulting firm, SECOR International Incorporated (“SECOR”) for the Hillview Facility. Pursuant to this Remediation Agreement, WJ paid approximately $2.4 million in exchange for which SECOR agreed to perform the work necessary to satisfy WJ’s obligations under the applicable governmental agency orders. WJ’s payment included the premium for a 30-year environmental Clean-up Cost Cap insurance policy to provide coverage for remediation cost overruns up to $10 million dollars from AIG, as well as a ten-year claims-made $10 million dollar Pollution Legal Liability Select insurance policy for coverage at the former Hillview Facility.

The Subsidiary, WJ, has been deemed liable for contamination at its former facility located at 440 Kings Village, Scotts Valley, California (“Scotts Valley Facility”) and entered into a Consent Decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in July 1991. In July 1999, WJ entered into a Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation Agreement between ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller (“ARCADIS”), and Silicon Valley Group, pursuant to which WJ paid approximately $3 million dollars in exchange for which ARCADIS agreed to perform the work necessary to satisfy WJ’s obligations under the Consent Decree. The Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation Agreement also contains a remediation cost overrun guarantee from ARCADIS up to a total project cost of $15 million dollars, and included the procurement of a ten year, claims-made insurance policy to provide coverage for remediation cost overruns of up to $10 million, as well as a ten year claims-made Pollution and Remediation Legal Liability Policy for coverage in the amount of $10 million dollars. The policies were initially issued by ECS and Reliance Insurance to WJ, but were subsequently reissued by ECS and Indian Harbor Insurance to WJ.

(“CyOptics”) and an unsecured promissory note from CyOptics for $5.6 million, that was discounted $2.3 million to reflect the current market rate for similar debt of comparable companies. Borrower accounts for all of these investments at cost unless their value has been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case it writes the investment down to its impaired value. Borrower reviews these investments periodically for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying value when an other-than-temporary decline is evident; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. During Borrower’s review, it evaluates the financial condition of the issuer, market conditions, and other factors providing an indication of the fair value of the investments. Adverse changes in market conditions or operating results of the issuer that differ from expectation, could result in additional other-than-temporary losses in future periods. On October 9, 2007, Borrower participated in an additional bridge financing where it purchased $0.5 million of a subordinated convertible promissory note from CyOptics. The promissory note is an interest-bearing note at the rate of 6% per annum. Unpaid principal with unpaid and accrued interest is due and payable at the earlier of (i) October 9, 2008, or (ii) event of default (as defined in the promissory note) or (iii) at conversion of a qualified equity event (as defined in the promissory note).

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Borrower’s investments in privately held companies consisted of its CyOptics preferred stock and unsecured promissory note with carrying values of $6.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

Subsidiary Motorola Matter – San Jose, CA. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., was notified by letter dated October 3, 2007, from Motorola that Motorola has been named in two patent disputes brought by Tessera, Inc., captioned Tessera, Inc. v. Motorola. Inc. et al. (Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-143 (E.D. Tex.), based on Motorola’s use of semiconductor chip assemblies. The patents at issue are United States Patents Nos. 5,852,326 and 6,433,419. Tessera has indicated to Motorola through discovery discussions that the semiconductor chip assemblies that the Subsidiary supplies to Motorola may be infringing and that it intends to pursue infringement allegations against Motorola for use of such assemblies in its products though the currently pending proceedings, including seeking a remedy in an ITC investigation to bar importation of the Motorola products that use such assemblies and damages. On October 3, 2007, Motorola requested Subsidiary indemnify Motorola for these proceedings and requested that the Subsidiary initiate efforts to avoid disruption of Motorola’s supply chain, including intervening in the proceedings to defend directly against Tessera’s allegations that the Subsidiary’s semiconductor chip assemblies infringe or obtaining a license to the asserted patents. The Subsidiary has not yet responded to Motorola.

Subsidiary Intermec Matter – San Jose, CA. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., has been operating under an informal understanding that Intermec does not require sub-system/component providers such as the Subsidiary to license Intermec’s RFID related patents in connection with the sale of components to Intermec. In September 2006, the Subsidiary notified customers that they can purchase the Subsidiary’s modules and chips without having to license Intermec patents at the module level and recommended that they evaluate their RFID solutions at the system level with respect to any applicable patents and obtain any necessary licenses if appropriate. A copy of such notification has been provided to Purchaser. The informal understanding with Intermec could change at any time with the result that Subsidiary may be required to license or challenge the RFID related patents.

Subsidiary XCI Matter – San Jose, CA. The Subsidiary, WJ Communications, Inc., received a letter in 2004 (the “2004 Letter”) from XCI Incorporated in which XCI claimed that the Subsidiary was using certain patents held by XCI. The Subsidiary responded by letters dated December 14, 2005 and March 14, 2005, stating that it was not using the referenced patents. The Subsidiary received another letter dated May 15, 2006 from XCI, indicating that they had been awarded an additional patent based on the original patents in the 2004 Letter. XCI requested a response within 10 working days, advising that if they did not receive a response, the issue would be turned over to their contingent law firm for legal action. The Subsidiary did not respond and it is not aware of any subsequent activity.

A. TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and the Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2008 (as amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

B. The Guarantors are Subsidiaries of the Borrower.

C. It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans to and issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors guarantee the indebtedness and other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

D. The Guarantors, as Subsidiaries of the Borrower, will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the making of the Loans to, and the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged by the Guarantors).

Accordingly, to induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement, and in consideration thereof, the Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation.

(a) Terms Defined in Credit Agreement. All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty (including in the recitals hereof) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Guaranty (including in the recitals hereof), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Bankruptcy Code” means the Federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.).

“Collateral” means any property and interests and proceeds thereof now or hereafter acquired by the Guarantors, the Borrower or any other Person in which a Lien shall exist in favor of the Lender to secure the Guaranteed Obligations.

“Credit Agreement” has the meaning specified in the recitals to this Guaranty.

“Guaranteed Obligations” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.

D-1

“Guarantor Documents” means this Guaranty and all other certificates, documents, agreements and instruments delivered to the Lender under or in connection with this Guaranty and the Loan Documents.

“Insolvency Proceeding” means, with respect to any Person, (a) any case, action or proceeding with respect to such Person before any court or other Governmental Authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or relief of debtors, or (b) any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, marshalling of assets for creditors, or other, similar arrangement in respect of its creditors generally or any substantial portion of its creditors; in either case undertaken under Debtor Relief Laws.

“Other Taxes” has the meaning set forth in Section 8(c).

“Solvent” means, as to any Person at any particular date, that (a) the fair value of the property of such Person is greater than the amount of such Person’s liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such value is established and as such liabilities are evaluated for purposes of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code and, in the alternative, for purposes of the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act and other applicable state law; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of such Person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (c) such Person is able to realize upon its property and pay its debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business; (d) such Person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (e) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s property would constitute unreasonably small capital.

“Taxes” has the meaning set forth in Section 8(b).

(c) Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. Guaranty.

(a) The Guarantors each hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee for the Lender, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, including all unpaid principal of the Loans, all amounts owing in respect of the L/C Obligations, all interest accrued thereon, all fees due under the Credit Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender thereunder, in connection therewith, and in connection with any other Loan Document.

D-2

and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any Debtor Relief Law, and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws naming such Person as the debtor in such proceeding. The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower, and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to be paid or performed by the Guarantors in connection with this Guaranty (including any and all amounts due under Section 12), shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

(b) To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable law (including the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or other applicable state law and §§ 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which the Lender can enforce under this Guaranty, the Lender by their acceptance hereof accept such limitation on the amount of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Guaranty and the Guarantor Documents fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

SECTION 3. Liability of Guarantor. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance which might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of the Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon the Lender’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against the Borrower or any other Person, or against any Collateral;

(b) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(c) the Lender may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Lender and the Borrower with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(d) the Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

D-3

(e) the Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall the Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(i) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Guarantor or other Loan Party or any other Person;

(ii) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Guarantor or other Loan Party or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(vi) the Lender’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document, any Guaranteed Obligations, or any Collateral, or the Lender’s exchange, release, or waiver of any Collateral;

SECTION 4. Consents of Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from the Guarantor:

(a) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents may be incurred, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(b) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Guaranteed Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Loan Document, by an amendment, modification or renewal of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(c) the time for the Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Lender may deem proper;

(d) the Lender may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other Guarantor or other Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and shall not be obligated to demand or enforce payment upon any of the Collateral or any other collateral, nor shall the Lender be liable to the Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Person or to realize on the Collateral or other collateral therefor;

(e) in addition to the Collateral, the Lender may take and hold other security (legal or equitable) of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof;

(f) the Lender may request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; and

(g) the Lender may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege (including the right to accelerate the maturity of any Loan and any power of sale) granted by any Loan Document or other security document or agreement, or otherwise available to the Lender, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the Collateral, even if the exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of the Guarantor against the Borrower; all as the Lender may deem advisable, and all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Guaranty.

D-5

SECTION 5. Guarantor Waivers.

(a) Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require the Lender to marshal assets in favor of the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, to proceed against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral, to give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security constituting the Collateral or other collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or comply with any other provisions of § 9611 of the New York UCC (or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law) or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Lender whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any defense based upon the Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of the Guarantor or the right of the Guarantor to proceed against the Borrower or any other obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations for reimbursement; and

(vii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.

(b) Additional Waivers.

(i) Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by the Lender upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

D-6

(ii) Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Guarantor waives (A) its rights of subrogation and reimbursement, (B) any defenses the Guarantor may have to the Guaranty by reason of an election of remedies by the Lender, (C) any rights or defenses the Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the anti-deficiency or other laws of any jurisdiction limiting or discharging the Borrower’s or such other Loan Party’s indebtedness, (D) any defenses arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lender) of the liability of the Borrower, (E) any defenses based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower, (F) any right to compel the Lender to proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations (or to proceed against such security in a particular order) or to pursue any other remedy in the Lender’s power whatsoever, and (G) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lender.

(iii) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

(c) Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the obligations of any other Guarantor or other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower and any other Loan Party and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against the Guarantor, whether or not the Borrower or any such other Guarantor or other Loan Party is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against the Borrower or any such other Guarantor or other Loan Party.

(d) Financial Condition of Borrower. No Guarantor shall have any right to require the Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: (i) the financial condition or character of the Borrower or the ability of the Borrower to pay and perform the Obligations; (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) the Collateral; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any action or inaction on the part of the Lender or any other Person; or (vi) any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.

SECTION 6. Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall be satisfied in full and the Commitment shall be terminated, no Guarantor shall have, and no Guarantor shall directly or indirectly exercise, (a) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (b) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Guaranty, or (c) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Lender as against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other Loan

D-7

Party, whether in connection with this Guaranty, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lender against the Borrower to the extent otherwise permitted by law; provided that such subrogation shall not (i) constitute a representation or warranty, express or implied, by the Lender as to the enforceability or collectibility of any obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or as to the perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest contained in or relating to any Loan Document; (ii) grant to the Guarantor any right of recourse against the Lender in respect thereof; (iii) give rise to any duty on the part of the Lender to cooperate with the Guarantor in the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights the Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (iv) impair the Lender’s unfettered discretion to settle or otherwise compromise any claims the Lender may have against the Borrower or otherwise impair or affect any of the waivers or consents contained herein; or (v) restrict the Lender from enforcing or forbearing from enforcing any of its rights or remedies against the Borrower; provided, further, that the Guarantor shall, upon demand, indemnify the Lender against any and all costs and expenses arising directly or indirectly in connection with such right of subrogation.

SECTION 7. Continuing Guaranty; Reinstatement.

(a) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time in connection with successive transactions consummated under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon the Guarantor until termination of the Commitment and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of the Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of Collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to the Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under the Bankruptcy Code or other state or federal law), or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, whether as a result of Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise. To the extent any payment is so rescinded, set aside, voided or otherwise repaid or restored, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be revived in full force and effect without reduction or discharge for such payment.

SECTION 8. Payments.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Guaranty and not in limitation of any other right which the Lender or any other Person may

D-8

have against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under § 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of other applicable Debtor Relief Law), the Guarantor shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Lender an amount equal to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding). The Guarantor shall make each payment hereunder, unconditionally in full without set-off, counterclaim or other defense, on the day when due in the currency in which such Guaranteed Obligations are denominated, to the Lender at such office of the Lender and to such account as is specified in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Any and all payments by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Lender under the Guarantor Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of the Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, franchise taxes and equivalent costs imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Lender is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under the Guarantor Documents to the Lender then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority or other taxation authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(c) In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under the Guarantor Documents or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, the Guarantor Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(d) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (c) above, each Guarantor shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

D-9

(e) If any Guarantor shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under the Guarantor Documents to the Lender, the Guarantor shall also pay to the Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(f) Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Lender within 10 days after demand therefor (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 8(e) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(g) Any payment by any Guarantor hereunder the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied in the order specified in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(h) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, each Guarantor shall deliver to the Lender a scanned copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payments, a copy of the return reporting such payment.

(i) The agreements in this Section 8 shall survive the payment of all Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 9. Credit Agreement Covenants. Each Guarantor shall observe, perform and comply with all covenants applicable to the Guarantor set forth in Articles VI and VII of the Credit Agreement, which by their terms the Borrower is required to cause the Guarantor to observe, perform and comply with, as if such covenants were set forth in full herein.

SECTION 10. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and mailed, faxed, emailed (subject to the provisions of the final sentence of this Section 10) or delivered, in the case of the Guarantor, to the Guarantor in care of the Borrower, to the address or facsimile number or email address specified in the Credit Agreement, and in the case of Lender, to the address or facsimile number or email address specified in the Credit Agreement, or to such other address, facsimile number or email address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the intended recipient and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by the intended recipient; (B) if delivered by mail, five Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone, when delivered; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of the final sentence of this Section 10), when delivered. In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as

D-10

a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, and to distribute documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

SECTION 11. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Lender to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Guarantor Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 12. Costs and Expenses.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall: (i) pay or reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all costs and expenses of counsel (including the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel); and (ii) pay or reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Guaranty or the other Guarantor Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all costs and expenses of counsel. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Lender.

(b) Interest. Any amounts payable to the Lender by the Guarantor under this Section 12 or otherwise under this Guaranty if not paid upon demand shall bear interest from the date of such demand until paid in full, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Any such interest shall be due and payable upon demand and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) Survival. The agreements in this Section 12 shall survive the termination of the Commitment and repayment of all Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 13. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Guarantor,

D-11

any such notice being waived by the Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all Obligations owing to the Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made demand under this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The Lender agrees (by its acceptance hereof) promptly to notify the Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 14. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. The Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that the Guarantor makes a payment to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

SECTION 15. Benefits of Guaranty. This Guaranty is entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than any Indemnitee specified herein) shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Guaranty. The Lender, by their acceptance of this Guaranty, shall not have any obligations under this Guaranty to any Person other than the Guarantor, and such obligations shall be limited to those expressly stated herein.

SECTION 16. Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and its respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns.

(b) Assignment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder or under any other Guarantor Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may, without notice to or consent by the Guarantor, sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Guarantor Documents in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or grant of a participation by the Lender in accordance with Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement of or in its rights and obligations thereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any grant of a participation, the participant (A) shall be deemed to have a right of setoff under Section 13 in respect of its participation to the same extent as if it were the “Lender,” and (B) shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 12 hereof.

D-12

SECTION 17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTOR DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTOR DOCUMENT. EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower, with an office as listed in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, as its authorized agent (in such capacity, the “Process Agent”) with all powers necessary to receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents in any of the courts in and of the State of New York. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service to the Guarantor shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. As an alternative method of service, each Guarantor also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the Guarantor at its address specified on the signature page hereof. If for any reason the Borrower shall cease to act as Process Agent, each Guarantor shall appoint forthwith, in the manner provided for herein, a successor Process Agent qualified to act as an agent for service of process with respect to all courts in and of the State of New York and acceptable to the Lender.

(d) Nothing in this Section 17 shall affect the right of the Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Lender to bring any action or proceeding against the Guarantor or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

SECTION 18. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR

D-13

ANY OTHER GUARANTOR DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER GUARANTOR DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 19. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Guaranty together with the other Guarantor Documents embodies the entire agreement of the Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the Guarantors, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall not be amended as to any Guarantor except by written agreement of the Guarantor and the Lender. No waiver of any rights of the Lender under any provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender. Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 20. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty or the other Guarantor Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to any or all Guarantors, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents as to such affected Guarantor(s) shall not be affected or impaired thereby, (b) the legality, validity and enforceability of such provisions and any other provisions as to any other Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and (c) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 21. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 22. Future Guarantors. At such time following the date hereof as any Subsidiary of the Borrower (an “Acceding Subsidiary”) is required to accede hereto pursuant to the terms of Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, such Acceding Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex I hereto, signifying its agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty as a Guarantor to the same extent as if such Acceding Subsidiary had originally executed this Guaranty as of the date hereof.

GUARANTY JOINDER AGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY JOINDER AGREEMENT (this “Joinder”) is executed as of , 200_ by , a [corporation/limited liability company/partnership] (“Joining Party”), and delivered to BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (“Lender”). Except as otherwise defined herein, terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

A. TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Borrower”) and the Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2008 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

B. The Joining Party is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower and desires, or is required pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to become a Guarantor under the Guaranty; and

C. The Joining Party will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by, and the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower, in each case pursuant to the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Joinder in order to (i) satisfy the requirements described in the preceding paragraph; and (ii) induce the Lender to continue to make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit to or for the account of the Borrower;

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to the Joining Party, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Joining Party hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender and hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows:

1. By this Joinder, the Joining party becomes a Guarantor for all purposes under the Guaranty, pursuant to Section 22 thereof.

2. The Joining Party agrees that, upon its execution hereof, it will become a Guarantor under the Guaranty with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), and will be bound by all terms, conditions and duties applicable to a Guarantor under the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.
