(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the language indicated in double underlined text in Exhibit A hereto and by deleting the language indicted by struck through text in Exhibit A hereto (the Note Purchase Agreement as so amended, is referred to herein as the “Amended Note Purchase Agreement”).

(b) Each of the Schedules to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the information contained in the correspondingly numbered Schedule attached as Annex A hereto; provided that any reference in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document to any such Schedule setting forth information thereon as of the Fourth Amendment Closing Date shall be deemed to be, solely with respect to such supplemental information, a reference to such Schedule setting forth information as of the date of this Amendment.

2. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Note Parties hereby:

(a) reaffirms all representations and warranties made to Agent and Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement and each of the other Note Documents, and confirms that such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is already qualified as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case each such representation or warranty (after giving effect to any qualification therein) is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof (other than any representation or warranty that expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case each such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(b) reaffirms all of the covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement and covenants to abide thereby until all Obligations and other liabilities of Note Parties to Agent and Purchasers, of whatever nature and whenever incurred, are satisfied and/or released by Agent and Purchasers;

(c) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the other Note Documents;

(d) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no event or development has occurred since the Closing Date which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e) represents and warrants that (i) such Note Party has full power, authority and legal right to enter into this Amendment and all other agreements, instruments or other documents related hereto and to perform all of its respective Obligations under the Note Documents as amended hereby and thereby, (ii) this Amendment and all other agreements, instruments or other documents required hereby, if any, have been duly executed and delivered by each Note Party, and this Amendment and the Note Documents as amended hereby and by any such agreements, instruments or documents required hereby constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Party enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and all other agreements, instruments or other documents required hereby, if any, (a) are within such Note Party’s powers under its Organization Documents, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited partnership, company or other organizational action, as applicable, are not in contravention of law or the terms of such Note Party’s Organization Documents or to the conduct of such Note Party’s business or of any material agreement or undertaking to which such Note Party is a party or by which such Note Party is bound, (b) will not conflict in any material respect with or violate any law or regulation, or any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Body, (c) will not require the Consent of any Governmental Body, any party to a Material Contract or any other Person, except those Consents set forth on Schedule

5.1 to the Note Purchase Agreement, all of which will have been duly obtained, made or compiled prior to the effective date hereof and which are in full force and effect or the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not conflict with, nor result in any breach in any of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any Lien except Permitted Encumbrances upon any asset of such Note Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries under the provisions of any agreement, instrument, Organization Document or other instrument to which such Note Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries are party or by which they or their property may be bound; and

3. Conditions Precedent/Effectiveness Conditions.

(d) If a Note Party or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Closing Date not permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.8, the Issuer shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Notes in an amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the relevant Person of such net cash proceeds.

(e) All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installment of principal on the Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 in direct order of maturity.

Purchasers having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds within five (5) Business Days of such offer by the Issuer).

(iv) receipt by Agent and the Purchasers of projections showing the projected calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for each four-quarter fiscal period of the Issuer completed over the twelve month period immediately following the Incremental Note Closing Date, such calculation giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Notes on such Incremental Note Closing Date;

(v) together with the Incremental Notes issued under such Incremental Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Notes issued since the Closing Date does not exceed $40,000,000 ~~minus the Revolving Credit Incremental Usage Amount~~; and

(vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent or Required Purchasers, receipt by the Agent and the Purchasers of (A) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required Purchasers and (B) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Note Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agent or the Required Purchasers in order to ensure that such Incremental Purchasers are provided with the benefit of the applicable Note Documents.

(e) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Notes of any Class shall be as agreed between the Issuer and the applicable Incremental Purchasers providing such Incremental Commitments and, except as set forth in clause (f) below, sub-clauses (e)(i) through (e)(vi) below, and as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to any Class of Notes existing on the Incremental Note Closing Date, the terms and conditions of the Incremental Notes that are effective prior to the then Latest Maturity Date of the Notes shall not be more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those applicable to the Notes existing on the Incremental Note Closing Date, unless (x) this Agreement is amended (solely with the consent of the Issuer and with no consent required by any Purchaser, the Agent or any other Note Party) to conform to such more restrictive terms and conditions for the benefit of all such existing Notes

or (y) such more restrictive terms and conditions are satisfactory to the Required Purchasers; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Note Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Note Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees) to the applicable Class of Notes being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Note Closing Date.

(vi) shall participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Notes hereunder.

(f) the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Notes of each Class shall be determined by the Issuer and the applicable Incremental Purchasers and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Notes shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to any existing Class of Notes plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the ~~Eurocurrency~~Eurodollar Rate floor) with respect to such existing Notes is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on such existing Notes to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Notes minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that any increase in All-In Yield to any existing Notes due to the application or imposition of a ~~Eurocurrency~~Eurodollar Rate floor on any Incremental Notes shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any ~~Eurocurrency~~Eurodollar Rate floor applicable to such existing Notes.

(g) Commitments in respect of Incremental Notes shall become additional Commitments pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Note Documents, executed by the Issuer, each Incremental Purchaser providing such Commitments, and the Agent (at the written direction of the Required

Purchasers). The Incremental Amendment may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Note Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Purchasers and the Issuer, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.7. The Issuer will use the proceeds of the sale of any Incremental Notes for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

2.8. Defaulting Purchasers.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as that Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 16.2.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of that Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Purchaser to Agent hereunder; second, as the Issuer may request in writing (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the purchase of any Note in respect of which that Defaulting Purchaser has failed to purchase as required by this Agreement; third, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Purchaser to purchase Notes under this Agreement, as certified to the Agent in writing by the Issuer; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuer against that Defaulting Purchaser as a result of that Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, as certified to the Agent in writing by the Issuer; and fifth, to that Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Notes not fully purchased by such Defaulting Purchaser and (y) such Notes were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Notes owed to all non-Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Notes of such Defaulting Purchaser, as certified to the Agent in writing by the Issuer. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Sections 3.2(d) for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Issuer shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser).

(b) Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Required Purchasers determine that a Defaulting Purchaser should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser, the Required Purchasers will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Purchaser will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Notes of the other Purchasers or take such other actions as may be necessary to cause the applicable Notes (whether the initial Term Notes, any Delayed Draw Notes or any Class of Incremental Notes) to be held on a pro rata basis by the Purchasers in accordance with their pro rata share, whereupon that Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

For the avoidance of doubt, such Default Rate shall accrue after the filing of any petition under any Debtor Relief Law or the commencement of any proceeding or action under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding or action.

3.2. Fees.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer will pay to each Purchaser, for such Purchaser’s (or its designee’s) own account, a fully earned, non-refundable fee equal to 2.0% of the Term Notes purchased by such Purchaser on the Closing Date, which fee shall be paid in cash on the Closing Date by the Issuer.

3.4. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed.

3.5. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied ratably to any unpaid principal balance of the Notes owed by the Issuer, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Purchasers shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Issuer and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

Each repayment and prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Article II and all other payments of principal and interest shall be made on a pro rata basis, calculated by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such calculations to Agent, with respect to any Purchaser, as a percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) determined by dividing the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes held by such Purchaser by the aggregate amount of all outstanding Notes of all Purchasers; provided, that, in connection with any Incremental Notes with a rate of interest per annum different than the rate of interest per annum of other Notes, such pro rata calculation may be modified in the applicable Incremental Amendment under which such Incremental Notes were issued. Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any Purchaser to such Purchaser (or its designee) promptly following receipt thereof.

(b) If any payment to be made to Agent for the benefit of a Purchaser 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.

3.9. Gross Up for Taxes. If any Note Party shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents to Agent, or any Purchaser, assignee of any Purchaser, or Participant (each, individually, a “Payee” and collectively, the “Payees”), (a) the sum payable to such Payee or Payees, as the case may be, shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, the applicable Payee or Payees receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made (the “Gross-Up Payment”), (b) such Note Party shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) such Note Party shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Note Party shall be obligated to make any portion of the Gross-Up Payment to the extent that (i) such taxes are U.S. Federal taxes and the obligation to withhold or deduct such taxes existed on the date such Payee became a party to this Agreement or received its interest hereunder or, with respect to payments to a new office for booking the Notes hereunder of such Payee, the date such Payee designated such new office with respect to the Notes hereunder; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the Gross-Up Payment any Payee, or any Payee acting through a new office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) does not exceed the Gross-Up Payment that the person making the transfer or selling the participation, or the Payee making the designation of such new office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer, participation or designation, (ii) to the extent that the obligation to pay such Gross-Up Payment would not have arisen but for a failure of such Payee to comply with Section 3.10 hereof, (iii) that is attributable to taxes imposed under FATCA (or any amendment thereto or successor version thereof that is

XI. PURCHASERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1. Rights and Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations, including any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto, shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase any further Notes shall be deemed terminated; (ii) any of the other Events of Default, at the option of the Required Purchasers, all Obligations, including any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto, shall be immediately due and payable and the Purchasers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase any further Notes; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Default under Section 10.7(f) hereof arising from a filing of a petition against any Note Party in any involuntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws, the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase Notes hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed or an Event of Default under Section 10.7 shall occur. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent and the Purchasers shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the other Note Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process; provided, that the Agent or the Required Purchasers must provide at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Issuer after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing before exercising any remedies with respect to the Equity Interests of the Note Parties (including, without limitation, voting rights). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent and the Purchasers may enter any of any Note Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Note Party therefor, and Agent or the Purchasers may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as

122

Agent or Purchaser may deem advisable and Agent or the Required Purchasers may require the Note Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give the Note Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to the Issuer at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Purchaser may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Purchaser or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Note Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such remedies, and for no other purpose. Agent and the Purchasers are granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent and the Purchasers are granted permission to use all of each Note Party’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, tradenames, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.6 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, the Note Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Purchasers therefor.

(b) To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent or the Purchasers to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Note Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Purchaser: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or such Purchaser to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Note Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of

123

assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent or such Purchaser, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent or such Purchaser in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Note Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or a Purchaser would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s or Purchaser’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or Purchaser shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Note Party or to impose any duties on Agent or a Purchaser that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2. Purchaser’s Discretion. The Required Purchasers shall have the right in their sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent or the Purchasers may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Purchaser’s rights hereunder.

11.3. Setoff. Subject to Section 14.2, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Purchaser may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Purchaser shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Note Party’s property held by Agent and such Purchaser to reduce the Obligations.

11.4. Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5. Equity Cure Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.5 or this Article XI to the contrary, any Original Owner or any of its Affiliates may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any potential Event of Default under Section 6.5 (such Event of Default, a “Financial Covenant Default”) by making a capital contribution into Holdings in the form of new cash equity contributions in an aggregate amount, in either case, equal to the amount that, when added to EBITDA on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the relevant testing period, would have caused the Issuer to be in full compliance with Section 6.5 for such testing period (each, an “Equity Cure”); provided that (a) such Equity Cure must be effected no later than 10 days after the delivery of the Compliance Certificate describing the applicable Financial Covenant Default (or the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered to the Purchasers), (b) no more than one (1) Equity Cure may be made in respect of any four-quarter fiscal period, (c) no more than two (2) Equity Cures may be made during the term of this Agreement; and (d) the amount of such Equity Cure may not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure the

124

Financial Covenant Default. Upon the receipt by Holdings of each such Equity Cure, each such Financial Covenant Default shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default under Section 6.5 (and not pro forma compliance with Section 6.5 required by any other provision of this Agreement), with respect to the relevant four-quarter fiscal period and all future four-quarter fiscal periods that includes the ~~fiscal quarter~~Fiscal Quarter in respect of which such Equity Cure was made; and

(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Issuer shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.5, the Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.5 (solely for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.5, and not pro forma compliance with Section 6.5 required by any other provision of this Agreement), with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith, and the Financial Covenant Default that had occurred shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

11.6. Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the other Note Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, which shall be limited to one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) of Agent incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Note Documents;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, which shall be limited to one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all Purchasers) of each of the Purchasers to the extent owing to such Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations;

SIXTH, to all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the other Note Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

125

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Purchasers shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser bears to the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of the Notes) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above.

XII. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

Each Note Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement until all of the Obligations of the Note Parties have been paid in full.

XIV. REGARDING AGENT.

14.1. Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as Agent for such Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and U.S. Bank National Association hereby accepts such appointment on the Closing Date subject to the terms hereof. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such capacity, though its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Concurrently herewith, each Purchaser directs Agent and Agent is authorized to enter into the Note Documents and any other related agreements in the forms presented to such Agent. The provisions of this Article XIV are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers, and no Note Party shall have right as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Purchaser agrees that in any instance in which this Agreement provides that Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

Agent shall not have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of any Note Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Agent to exercise any discretionary acts.

14.2. Collateral. Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.2(b)), charges and collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Note Documents and the notification to Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Note Parties. Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Purchasers concerning and shall have no responsibility to Purchasers for the existence, priority or perfection of the Liens and security interests granted hereunder or under any other Note Document or in the value of any of the Collateral and shall not be responsible or liable to the Purchasers for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Agent makes no representation as to the value, sufficiency or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Note Parties to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any other Note Document. Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral. Agent shall not be responsible for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as expressly provided in the immediately following sentence when Agent has possession of the Collateral. Agent shall not have any duty to the Purchasers as to any Collateral in its possession or in the possession of someone under its control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except the duty to accord such of the Collateral as may be in its possession substantially the same care as it accords similar assets held for the benefit of third parties and the duty to account for monies received by it. Agent shall not be under an obligation independently to request or examine insurance coverage with respect to any Collateral. Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any bank, depositary bank, custodian, independent counsel of the Note Parties or any other party selected by Agent with reasonable care or selected by any other party hereto that may hold or possess Collateral or documents related to Collateral and Agent shall not be required to monitor the performance of any such Persons holding Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.10, Agent shall not be responsible to the Purchasers for the perfection of any Lien or for the filing, form, content or renewal of any UCC financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and such other documents or instruments, provided however that if instructed in writing by the Required Purchasers and at the expense of the Issuer, Agent shall arrange for the filing and continuation, of financing statements

128

or other filing or recording documents or instruments for the perfection of security interests in the Collateral; provided, that, Agent shall not be responsible for the preparation, form, content, sufficiency or adequacy of any such financing statements all of which shall be provided in writing to Agent by the Required Purchasers including the jurisdictions and filing offices where Agent is required to file such financing statements.

In connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of, or foreclosure or realization upon, any real estate-related collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document, Agent shall not be obligated to take title to or possession of real estate in its own name, or otherwise in a form or manner that may, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to liability. In the event that Agent deems that it may be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Agent subject to the terms and conditions of Section 14.4 or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. Agent will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

14.3. Nature of Duties and Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Note Documents to which it is a party, and no implied covenants, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Note Documents on the part of Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) except as expressly set forth in the Note Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose any information relating to any Note Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of any promissory notes) or any matter that would require Agent to exercise any discretion hereunder or under any Note Document, Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Purchasers, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action unless it is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto and Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the other Note Documents or Applicable Law. Agent may at any time request instructions from the Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Note Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If Agent shall request any such instructions, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Purchasers, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchasers shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the

129

Required Purchasers. Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be required by the express terms of this Agreement or the other Note Documents). Agent shall not have any liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Purchasers or any Note Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Note Documents, unless Agent has received written notice from a Purchaser or the Issuer referring to this Agreement or the other Note Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to the Purchasers. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Purchasers; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including without limitation for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of any Purchaser to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from any such Purchaser, as applicable). Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven that Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any other Note Document or related documents shall obligate Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction. Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. Any permissive grant of power to Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Before acting hereunder, Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent to such action. Agent shall not be responsible or liable for: (i) delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters, the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, (ii) any delay, error omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator, or (iii) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group

130

or entity exercising governmental powers. Agent shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent’s rights, protections, indemnities and immunities provided herein shall apply to Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under any Note Documents and any other related agreements in any of their capacities. The Agent may act through its third party attorneys, custodians, nominees and agents (as opposed to employees of the Agent) and shall not be responsible for the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any such third party agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys appointed with due care. The Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any related document if taking such action (A) would subject the Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax, or (B) would require the Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the designation of any Purchaser as a “Defaulting Purchaser” hereunder unless Agent has received written notice from the Issuer referring to this Agreement and notifying Agent of the identity and designation of such Purchaser as a “Defaulting Purchaser”, which Agent may conclusively rely upon without incurring liability therefor, and absent receipt of such notice from the Issuer, Agent may conclusively assume that no Purchaser under this Agreement has been designated as a “Defaulting Purchaser”.

14.4. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Note Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or of the financial condition of any Note Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the other Note Documents or the financial condition of any Note Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

Agent may resign on thirty (30) days’ written notice to each of the Purchasers and Issuer and upon such resignation, the Required Purchasers will promptly designate a successor Agent.

Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after Agent gives

131

notice of its resignation, then Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, with the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and not required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; provided that if Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Agent on behalf of the Purchasers under any of the Note Documents, the Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed), and the Required Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent under the Note Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents. The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. After Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XIV shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

14.5. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the issuance of a Note that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the issuance of such Note. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Note Parties), independent accountants, experts and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, experts or advisors. Neither Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Note Documents; (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any related documents on the part of the Note Parties or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Note Parties; (iii) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or any other

132

Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, ownership, transferability or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Note Documents, any related document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (iv) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Note Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not have any liability to the Note Parties or any Purchaser or any other Person for the Note Parties’ or any Purchaser’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Note Document.

14.6. Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Note Parties, each Purchaser will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document; provided that, Purchasers shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). The indemnities contained in this Section 14.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

14.7. Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.11 and 9.12 from the Issuer or any other Note Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which the Issuer or any other Note Party is not obligated to deliver to each Purchaser, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to the Purchasers.

14.8. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither such Purchaser, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Purchaser’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Note Party, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the other Note Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record-keeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

133

14.9. Agent May File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Note Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on the Issuer) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Purchasers and Agent under the Note Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under the Note Documents.

XV. GUARANTY.

15.1. Guarantee of Obligations. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees that the Obligations will be performed and paid in full in cash when due and payable, whether at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof or otherwise, this guarantee being a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and being absolute and in no way conditional or contingent (the “Guarantee”). In the event any part of the Obligations shall not have been so paid in full when due and payable, each Guarantor will, immediately upon notice by the Agent or, without notice, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.7, pay or cause to be paid to Agent for the account of each Purchaser in accordance with the Purchaser’s proportionate share of such Obligations which are then due and payable and unpaid. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the invalidity, unenforceability or irrecoverability of any of the Obligations as against the Issuer, any other Note Party, any other guarantor thereof or any other Person. For purposes hereof, the Obligations shall be due and payable when and as the same shall be due and payable under the terms of this Agreement or any other Note Document notwithstanding the fact that the collection or enforcement thereof may be stayed or enjoined under Debtor Relief Laws or other Applicable Law.

15.2. Continuing Obligation. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Purchasers have entered into this Agreement (and, to the extent that the Purchasers or the Agent may enter into any future Note Document, will have entered into such agreement) in reliance on this Article XV being a continuing irrevocable agreement, and such Guarantor agrees that its guarantee may not be revoked in whole or in part. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall terminate when all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and discharged; provided, however, that:

134

(a) if a claim is made upon the Purchasers at any time for repayment or recovery of any amounts or any property received by the Purchasers from any source on account of any of the Obligations and the Purchasers repay or return any amounts or property so received (including interest thereon to the extent required to be paid by the Purchasers); or

(b) if the Purchasers become liable for any part of such claim by reason of (i) any judgment or order of any court or administrative authority having competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim,

(c) then in either case the Guarantors shall remain liable under this Agreement for the amounts so repaid or property so returned or the amounts for which the Purchasers become liable (such amounts being deemed part of the Obligations) to the same extent as if such amounts or property had never been received by the Purchasers, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the cancellation of any instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Obligations. Not later than five days after receipt of notice from Agent or the Required Purchasers, the Guarantors shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an amount equal to the amount of such repayment or return for which the Purchasers have so become liable. Payments hereunder by a Guarantor may be required by Agent on any number of occasions.

15.3. Waivers with Respect to Obligations. Except to the extent expressly required by this Agreement or any other Note Document, each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law, all of the following (including all defenses, counterclaims and other rights of any nature based upon any of the following):

(a) presentment, demand for payment and protest of nonpayment of any of the Obligations, and notice of protest, dishonor or nonperformance;

(b) notice of acceptance of this guarantee and notice that the Notes have been sold by the Issuer hereunder in reliance on such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Obligations;

(c) notice of any Default or of any inability to enforce performance of the obligations of the Issuer or any other Person with respect to any Note Document or notice of any acceleration of maturity of any Obligations;

(d) demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the Obligations or any other Note Document or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or against the Issuer or any other Agent or any Purchaser in connection with any of the foregoing;

(e) any act or omission on the part of Agent or any Purchaser which may impair or prejudice the rights of such Guarantor, including rights to obtain subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any other reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Person, or otherwise operate as a deemed release or discharge;

(f) failure or delay to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other action which xxxxx or impairs the value of, or any failure to preserve or protect the value of, any Collateral;

135

(g) any statute of limitations or any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than the obligation of the principal;

(h) any “single action” or “antideficiency” law which would otherwise prevent any Purchaser from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, against such Guarantor before or after Agent’s or the Purchasers’ commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or any other law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Agent or any Purchaser;

(i) all demands and notices of every kind with respect to the foregoing; and

(j) to the extent not referred to above, all defenses (other than payment) which the Issuer may now or hereafter have to the payment of the Obligations, together with all suretyship defenses, which could otherwise be asserted by such Guarantor.

15.4. Purchasers’ Power to Waive, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to this Article XV, each Guarantor grants to Agent and each of the Purchasers full power in their discretion, without notice to or consent of such Guarantor, such notice and consent being expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without in any way affecting the liability of such Guarantor under its guarantee hereunder:

(a) To waive compliance with, and any Default under, and to consent to any amendment to or modification or termination of any provision of, or to give any waiver in respect of, this Agreement, any other Note Document, the Collateral, the Obligations or any guarantee thereof (each as from time to time in effect);

(b) To grant any extensions of the Obligations (for any duration), and any other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any total or partial release (by operation of law or otherwise), discharge, compromise or settlement with respect to the obligations of the Note Parties or any other Person in respect of the Obligations, whether or not rights against such Guarantor under this Agreement are reserved in connection therewith;

(c) To take security in any form for the Obligations, and to consent to the addition to or the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of, or to deal in any other manner with, any part of any property contained in the Collateral whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of such power shall be of a character or value the same as or different from the character or value of any property disposed of, and to obtain, modify or release any present or future guarantees of the Obligations and to proceed against any of the Collateral or such guarantees in any order;

(d) To collect or liquidate or realize upon any of the Obligations or the Collateral in any manner or to refrain from collecting or liquidating or realizing upon any of the Obligations or the Collateral; and

136

(e) To extend additional credit, if any, under this Agreement, any other Note Document or otherwise in such amount as the Purchasers may determine, including increasing the amount of credit and the interest rate and fees with respect thereto, even though the condition of the Note Parties (financial or otherwise, on an individual or consolidated basis) may have deteriorated since the date hereof.

15.5. Information Regarding the Issuer, etc. Each Guarantor has made such investigation as it deems desirable of the risks undertaken by it in entering into this Agreement and is fully satisfied that it understands all such risks. Each Guarantor waives any obligation which may now or hereafter exist on the part of Agent or any Purchaser to inform it of the risks being undertaken by entering into this Agreement or of any changes in such risks and, from and after the date hereof, each Guarantor undertakes to keep itself informed of such risks and any changes therein. Each Guarantor expressly waives any duty which may now or hereafter exist on the part of Agent or any Purchaser to disclose to such Guarantor any matter related to the business, operations, character, collateral, credit, condition (financial or otherwise), income or prospects of the Issuer and its Affiliates or their properties or management, whether now or hereafter known by Agent or any Purchaser. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that it assumes sole responsibility for obtaining from the Issuer all information concerning this Agreement and all other Note Documents and all other information as to the Issuer and its Affiliates or their properties or management as such Guarantor deems necessary or desirable.

15.6. Certain Guarantor Representations. Each Guarantor represents that:

(a) it is in its best interest and in pursuit of the purposes for which it was organized as an integral part of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, and reasonably necessary and convenient in connection with the conduct of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by them, to induce the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Notes from the Issuer by making the Guarantee contemplated by this Article XV;

(b) the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will directly or indirectly inure to its benefit;

(c) by virtue of the foregoing it is receiving at least reasonably equivalent value from the Purchasers for its Guarantee;

(d) it will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into this Agreement after taking into account its respective contribution rights under Section 15.9;

(e) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Note Documents, it will have assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured;

(f) it has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business;

(g) it has the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature; and

137

(h) it has been advised that the Purchasers are unwilling to enter into this Agreement unless the Guarantee contemplated by this Article XV is given by it.

15.7. Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations are paid in full, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset or other claims against the Issuer or any other Note Party arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Note Document. After the payment in full of the Obligations, each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against the Issuer and the other Note Parties all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.8. Subordination. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that all Indebtedness, claims and liabilities now or hereafter owing by the Issuer or any other Note Party to such Guarantor, whether arising hereunder or otherwise, are subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and are so subordinated as a claim against such Note Party or any of its assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or liability will be made or received while any Event of Default exists. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or liability is received by any Guarantor in contravention of this Agreement, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers and promptly turned over to it in the original form received by such Guarantor.

15.9. Contribution Among Guarantors. The Guarantors agree that, as among themselves in their capacity as guarantors of the Obligations, the ultimate responsibility for repayment of the Obligations, in the event that the Issuer fails to pay when due its Obligations, shall be equitably apportioned, to the extent consistent with the Note Documents, among the respective Guarantors (a) in the proportion that each, in its capacity as a guarantor, has benefited from the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Notes by the Issuer under this Agreement, or (b) if such equitable apportionment cannot reasonably be determined or agreed upon among the affected Guarantors, in proportion to their respective net worths determined on or about the date hereof (or such later date as such Guarantor becomes party hereto). In the event that any Guarantor, in its capacity as a guarantor, pays an amount with respect to the Obligations in excess of its proportionate share as set forth in this Section 15.9 each other Guarantor shall, to the extent consistent with the Note Documents, make a contribution payment to such Guarantor in an amount such that the aggregate amount paid by each Guarantor reflects its proportionate share of the Obligations. In the event of any default by any Guarantor under this Section 15.9 each other Guarantor will bear, to the extent consistent with the Note Documents, its proportionate share of the defaulting Guarantor’s obligation under this Section 15.9. This Section 15.9 is intended to set forth only the rights and obligations of the Guarantors among themselves and shall not in any way affect the obligations of any Guarantor to Agent or any Purchaser under the Note Documents (which obligations shall at all times constitute the joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors).

138

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS.

16.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Note Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Note Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Note Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to the Issuer at its address set forth in Section 16.9 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon the Issuer which each Note Party irrevocably appoints as such Note Party’s agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Purchaser to bring proceedings against any Note Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Note Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each Note Party waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such Note Party in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any Note Party against Agent or any Purchaser involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, County of New York, State of New York.

16.2. Entire Understanding.

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Note Party, Agent and each Purchaser and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each of the Issuer’s, Agent’s and each Purchaser’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing and in accordance with this Agreement. Each Note Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Required Purchasers (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Purchasers) and Issuer may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time

139

to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the other Note Documents executed by the Note Parties, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of the Purchasers, Agent or the Note Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall be effective if the effect would:

(i) increase the maximum dollar commitment of any Purchaser unless consented to in writing by such Purchaser;

(ii) extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable hereunder or under any other Note Document, in each case, unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iii) alter the definition of the term Required Purchasers or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b) unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser;

(iv) in each case, other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 7.1, (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser or (ii) release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantee, unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser;

(v) change the rights and duties of the Agent, or adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or indemnities of the Agent, unless consented to in writing by the Required Purchasers and Agent;

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Purchaser and shall be binding upon the Note Parties, the Purchasers and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Note Parties, Agent and Purchasers shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Purchaser shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser may be effected with the consent of the applicable Purchasers other than Defaulting Purchasers), except that (x) the Commitment of any such Defaulting Purchaser may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Purchaser, (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Purchaser to a greater extent than any other affected Purchaser shall require the consent of such Defaulting Purchaser and (x) the consent of any Defaulting Purchaser shall be required in respect of any amendments referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 16.2.

140

In the event that (i) the Issuer has requested that the Purchasers consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Note Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all the Purchasers and (iii) the Required Purchasers have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then with respect to any Purchaser that has not so consented (such Purchaser, a “Non-Consenting Purchaser”), the Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Purchaser and the Agent, require such Non-Consenting Purchaser to sell, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.3(c)), all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Notes or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment and the related Note Documents to one or more existing Purchasers or new Purchasers eligible under Section 16.3(c) (provided that neither the Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to the Issuer to find a replacement Purchaser or other such Person) that shall acquire such obligations (any of which assignees may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts such assignment), provided that (1) such sale must comply with the provisions of Section 16.3(c) and (2) such Non-Consenting Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Note Documents (including the full amount of the Prepayment Premium, if any, under Section 2.4(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Issuer (to the extent amounts are due and owing to the Non-Consenting Purchaser in excess of amounts due from the assignee). A Non-Consenting Purchaser shall not be required to consummate any such sale or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Non-Consenting Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Issuer to require such sale and delegation cease to apply. If any Non-Consenting Purchaser shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any Assignment and Assumption required pursuant to Section 16.3 within ten (10) Business Days of any request therefor by the Agent, the Issuer or any Purchaser, the Non-Consenting Purchaser shall automatically be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption.

16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Purchasers.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Note Parties, Agent, each Purchaser, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Note Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of the Purchasers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Each Note Party acknowledges that one or more Purchasers may at any time and from time to time sell, assign or transfer one or more participating interests in the Notes to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a

141

“Participant”). No Participant, other than an Affiliate of the Purchaser granting such participation, shall be entitled to require such Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Note in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-Default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in the principal amount of any Note shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), or (ii) consent to the release of all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee, or all or substantially all of the Collateral. The Issuer agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 16.3, and that each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Notes held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Purchaser which granted an interest in its Notes or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Purchaser retained such interest in the Notes hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder (unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Issuer’s prior written consent), and in no event shall the Issuer be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Notes or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Purchaser and such Participant. Each Purchaser that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Issuer, shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Notes (each, a “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the holder of such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each Note Party hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Note Party as security for the Participant’s interest in the Notes. In connection with any participation contemplated hereby (A) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Note Parties, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Note Documents and, except for the rights of a Participant set forth in this Section 16.3(b), to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchaser shall be permitted to effect any sale, assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations under or relating to the Notes or any of its Commitments if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note Party would be required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. Any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void ab initio.

142

(c) Any Purchaser may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to its Notes and/or its Commitments to any (i) existing Purchaser, Related Fund or Affiliate of a Purchaser; or (ii) any other Person (other than indirect holders of the Equity Interests of Holdings and their respective Affiliates, including the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries, except as set forth in clauses (d) and (e) below), provided, that such Purchaser may not sell, assign or transfer to any Disqualified Person; provided, further, that in the case of clause (ii), such sale, assignment or transfer shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $500,000 (the “Minimum Transfer Level”) except in the case of an assignment of all of a Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided, that the Minimum Transfer Level shall be met if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and/or Commitments to be sold, assigned, transferred, or negotiated hereunder in a single transaction or series of related transactions by any Purchaser or group of affiliated Purchasers to a single transferee or group of affiliated transferees exceeds the Minimum Transfer Level. Such sale, assignment, or transfer shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, executed by a new Purchaser, the transferor Purchaser, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (i) new Purchaser thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and (ii) the transferor Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption creating a novation for that purpose. Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such new Purchaser and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising from the purchase by such new Purchaser of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The Issuer consents to the addition of such new Purchaser and the resulting adjustment of the rights and obligations of the Purchasers arising from the purchase by such new Purchaser of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Note Documents made in compliance with this Section 16.3(c). Upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, such new Purchaser shall deliver customary certificates confirming the representations and warranties of such new Purchaser pursuant to Article XVII hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchaser shall be permitted to effect any sale, assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations under or relating to its Notes or its Commitments if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note Party would be required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. Any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void ab initio. In no event shall the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries consent to the sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any loans or commitments under the First Lien Term Loan Agreement to any Person that is a Disqualified Person.

(d) Any Purchaser may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Notes under this Agreement to the indirect holders of the Equity Interests of Holdings and their respective Affiliates (other than the Note Parties and their

143

Subsidiaries) (in such capacity, the “Affiliated Purchasers” and each, an “Affiliated Purchaser”), through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Purchasers on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) the assigning Purchaser and the Affiliated Purchaser purchasing such Purchaser’s Term Notes shall execute and deliver to Agent and the other Purchasers an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 16.3(d)(A) hereto (an “Affiliated Purchaser Assignment and Assumption”);

(ii) Affiliated Purchasers will not receive information provided solely to Purchasers by Agent or any Purchaser and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Purchasers and Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Notes or Commitments required to be delivered to Purchasers pursuant to Article II;

(iii) For purposes of determining whether the “Required Purchasers” have consented to (or not consented to) any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, or any plan of reorganization that does not in each case adversely affect the Affiliated Purchasers (solely in their capacity as Purchasers of Notes) as compared to other affected Purchasers of Notes, such Affiliated Purchasers shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-Affiliated Purchasers voting on such matter;

(iv) each Affiliated Purchaser that purchases any Notes shall represent and warrant to the selling Purchaser and Agent (other than any other Affiliated Purchaser), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Purchasers generally (other than Purchasers who elect not to receive such information);

(v) the aggregate principal amount of Notes held at any one time by Affiliated Purchasers shall not exceed 25% of the original principal amount of all Notes at such time outstanding; (such percentage, the “Affiliated Purchaser Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Purchaser would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Notes held by Affiliated Purchasers exceeding the Affiliated Purchaser Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; and

(vi) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (d), Agent, the other Purchasers and the Issuer shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit 16.3(d)(B) to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Purchaser or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Purchaser pursuant to which such Affiliated Purchaser shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Notes against Agent, in its capacity as such.

Each Affiliated Purchaser agrees to notify Agent and the other Purchasers promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Purchaser,

144

and each Purchaser agrees to notify Agent and the other Purchasers promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Purchaser. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit 16.3(d)(B).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Purchaser that has purchased Notes pursuant to this subsection (d) may, in their sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, principal amount of such Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Issuer for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Notes. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Notes then held by the Issuer and (y) the Issuer shall promptly provide notice to Agent of such contribution of such Notes and the Issuer, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Notes in the Register.

(e) Any Purchaser may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Notes under this Agreement to the Issuer through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Purchasers on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that (i) the principal amount of such Notes, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so assigned or transferred to the Issuer shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such assignment or transfer, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes of the remaining Purchasers shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Notes then held by the Issuer and (iii) the Issuer shall promptly provide notice to Agent and the Purchasers of such assignment, transfer and cancellation of such Notes, and the Issuer shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Notes in the Register.

(f) (i) Each Note Party authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any prospective purchaser any and all financial information in such Purchaser’s possession concerning such Note Party which has been delivered to such Purchaser by or on behalf of such Note Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Purchaser’s credit evaluation of such Note Party and (ii) the Issuer authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any prospective purchaser any and all information specified in, and meeting the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act which has been delivered to such Purchaser by the Issuer pursuant to Section 16.4 hereof, in each case, solely to the extent such prospective purchaser agrees to substantially similar confidentiality provisions as set forth in Section 16.18 hereof in favor of the Issuer.

(g) In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 16.3, any Purchaser may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Notes and the other Obligations owed by or to such Purchaser, to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including, without limitation, to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided, no Purchaser, as between the Issuer and such Purchaser, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Purchaser” or be entitled to require the assigning Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

145

(h) Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE HOLDER MAY NOT OFFER, SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF OR ENCUMBER THIS NOTE EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PROSPECTUS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, RESPECTIVELY, OR WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR PROSPECTUS REQUIREMENTS AND (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16.3 OF THAT CERTAIN NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AUGUST 8, 2014, AMONG THE ISSUER, HOLDINGS, THE PURCHASERS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY THERETO, THE AGENT AND THE OTHER NOTE PARTIES FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY THERETO (EACH AS DEFINED THEREIN).”

(i) In connection with any sale, assignment or transfer contemplated by this Section 16.3, it shall be a condition precedent to such sale, assignment or transfer that, unless the Notes are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (i) the prospective purchaser, assignee or transferee deliver to the Agent an administrative questionnaire in form satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) either (A) the prospective purchaser, assignee or transferee deliver to the Issuer a written certification (1) that it is a QIB or (2) containing representations substantially similar to the representations set forth in Article XVII hereof (other than the representations contained in (A) Section 17.3(ii), (B) the second sentence of Section 17.5 or (C) Section 17.7), but made by the prospective purchaser, assignee or transferee with respect to the purchase, assignment or transfer of the Notes mutatis mutandis or (B) the prospective seller, assignor or transferor deliver to the Issuer a written certification in form an substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, that the prospective sale, assignment or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange imposed under any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) with respect to any transfer or exchange of any interest in any Note (including any transfers or exchanges between or among Participants).

16.4. Register. The Issuer shall keep at its principal office a register (the “Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of the Notes (including, without limitation, principal amounts and interest thereon) and the transfer of the same. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes in accordance with Section 16.3 at the principal office of the Issuer and at the written request of the applicable Purchaser, the Issuer shall record such transfer

146

in the Register and the Issuer shall, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver one or more new Notes, as applicable, of like tenor and of a like principal amount, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees and, in the case of a transfer in part, a new Note in the appropriate amount registered in the names of such transferor. While the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall provide the Purchasers with the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in connection with any proposed transfer. The requirement that the ownership and transfer of the Notes shall be reflected in the Register is intended to ensure that the Notes qualify as an obligation issued in “registered form” as that term is used in Sections 163(f), 871(h), and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be interpreted accordingly and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Notes (or any part thereof) may be sold, assigned or transferred without such sale, assignment or transfer being reflected in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Person whose name is recorded in the Register shall be treated as the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Agreement; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Issuer’s Obligations in respect of the Notes. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Purchaser (with respect to any entry relating to such Purchaser’s Note) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice and a copy of the Register shall be provided to the Agent upon its request.

16.5. Exchange. Notes may be exchanged at the option of any Purchaser thereof for Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, but in different denominations. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer, at such Purchaser’s expense, will execute and deliver the Notes that the Purchaser making the exchange is entitled to receive.

16.6. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Issuer and the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue a replacement Note. If required by the Issuer, an unsecured indemnity must be supplied by the applicable Purchaser that is sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer to protect the Issuer from any loss that it may suffer if a Note is replaced.

16.7. Application of Payments. To the extent that any Note Party makes a payment or Agent or any Purchaser receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Note Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Purchaser.

16.8. Indemnity.

(a) Except for taxes (other than Other Taxes) which shall be covered by Section 3.9 only, the Note Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent, each Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns and the officers, directors, attorneys, advisors, employees, agents, controlling persons and members of each of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all

147

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, all reasonable and reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (but limited, in the case of legal fees, expenses and disbursements, to the number of counsel set forth in the paragraphs labeled “First” and “Third” in Section 11.6 of this Agreement), and actual and direct losses (other than lost profits) of such Indemnitees arising out of or relating to any claim or any litigation, investigation, or other proceeding, in each case that relates to any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of or a material breach of this Agreement or the other Note Documents (except to the extent arising out of any action or omission taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent at the written direction of the Required Purchasers) by the party being indemnified or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), or (y) disputes solely among the Indemnitees (other than disputes involving the Agent) and not arising out of any act or omission of any Note Party or any of their Affiliates or (z) entering into a settlement agreement related thereto without the written consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Note Party nor any of its respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries or the respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party) in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Additionally, if any stamping, recording or similar taxes (“Other Taxes”) shall be payable by Agent, the Purchasers or the Note Parties on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Note Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, the Issuer will pay within 10 Business Days (or will promptly reimburse Agent and the Purchasers for payment thereof within 10 Business Days) all such Other Taxes, including interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith provided, that the Issuer have received written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such taxes.

(b) To the extent that any of the Note Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent for the Agent’s own account under paragraph (a) of this Section 16.8, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to the Agent its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser bears to the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of the Notes) of such unpaid amount; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unpaid amount that is found by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

(c) The indemnities contained in this Section 16.8 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

16.9. Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Issuer or to Agent or any Purchaser at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may

148

hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section. Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 16.9 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes by means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”) if Notice of such Website Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties hereto by another means set forth in this Section 16.9) in accordance with this Section 16.9. Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on Section 16.9 hereof or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance with this Section 16.9.

17.1. Legal Capacity; Due Authorization.

154

17.2. Restrictions on Transfer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be permitted to effect any sale, assignment or transfer of the Notes if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note Party would be required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

17.3. Accredited Investor, etc. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.

17.4. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Issuer is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Notes.

17.5. Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Issuer and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Notes that have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Note Parties. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the representations and warranties of the Note Parties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes.

17.6. No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes.

155

17.7. Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

The Issuer and the other Note Parties acknowledge that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of a Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding solely upon the assets and property of each relevant Trust in accordance with its proportionate interest hereunder. If this instrument is executed by a Trust on behalf of one or more series of such Trust, you further acknowledge that the assets and liabilities of each series of the Trust are separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are binding solely upon the assets or property of the series on whose behalf the Trust has executed this instrument.
