SECTION 2. LOANS

2.1 Loans.

(a) The Initial Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, an Initial Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrower may make only one borrowing under such Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.1(b), 2.11 and 2.13, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Final Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Commitment on such date.

(b) Extended Term Loans. Subject to no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) and (g) with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and Section 3.2, the Borrower and each Lender severally agrees, if the Initial Loans have not been repaid in full, that the then outstanding principal amount of its Initial Notes shall automatically be converted into an Extended Term Loan by the Borrower on the Initial Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Loans (including any accrued interest not required to be paid in cash). Subject to Sections 2.13, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Final Maturity Date.

(c) Borrowing Mechanics for Loans.

(i) The Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice (which may be given by electronic mail, including with electronic signature thereto) no later than (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, 1 Business Day and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, 3 Business Days, in each case, prior to the Closing Date. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Borrowing.

(ii) Each Person that is a Lender on the Closing Date shall make its Initial Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Initial Loans available to the Borrower on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Initial Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

2.2 [Reserved].

2.3 Notes.

(a) Initial Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) an Initial Note or Initial Notes to evidence such Lender’s Initial Loan.

To the extent Extended Term Loans are made on the Initial Maturity Date, and to the extent requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Initial Maturity Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Initial Maturity Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) an Extended Note or Extended Notes to evidence such Lender’s Extended Term Loan.

2.4 Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Loan of any Lender be

increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

2.5 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Initial Loans made on the Closing Date shall be used by the Borrower (and, to the extent distributed to them by any Borrower, each other Credit Party) solely to finance the Transactions.

2.6 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Loans of each Lender from time to time and any Notes issued by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 evidencing such Loans (the “Register”). The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (solely with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower hereby designates CNAI to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.6, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent CNAI serves in such capacity, CNAI and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

2.7 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i)		if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(ii)		if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation

Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan will automatically convert into a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month beginning on such date.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans, there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month beginning on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will be automatically converted into (or if not then outstanding will be made as) a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month. In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans where the Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

2.8 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.17 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest

Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.17 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.17.

2.9 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective, such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender.

2.10 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Agents such fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

2.11 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.17(d); and, provided further that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each such partial prepayment shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans and each series of New Term Loans, to the installments of the outstanding principal amount thereof in such order of application as selected by the Borrower, and within each such tranche, ratably to the Lenders in respect thereof. Any such prepayment shall be made upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will

promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice by posting to the Platform or by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided, however, that any such prepayment may, subject to the Borrower’s payment of any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.17(d) as a result of such Loan not being prepaid on the date specified in such notice, be conditioned on the receipt of proceeds of new Indebtedness.

2.12 [Reserved].

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Asset Sales. No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 since the later of (x) the date of this Agreement and (y) the last mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.13(a), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount equal to such net Cash proceeds; provided so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries, to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds in productive assets of the general type used in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions) within three hundred and sixty days of receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Change of Control. No later than the first Business Day following a Change of Control, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(a) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.

(d) Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any net Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Take Out Securities but other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net Cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

(e) Issuance of Capital Stock. On the date of receipt from any third-party of any net Cash proceeds by the Borrower or any of it Subsidiaries from the issuance of any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

(f) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(a), (c), (d) or (e), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds, as the case may be. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any prepayment obligation pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or (d) above, the Borrower is not obligated to comply with the foregoing sections to the

extent that the Borrower is required to and otherwise applies such proceeds (other than the proceeds of the Take Out Securities) in compliance with the applicable prepayment provisions of the Senior Credit Facilities.

2.14 Application of Prepayments.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(g), any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in accordance with this clause (a) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, until such Loans shall have been prepaid in full. All repayments of the Loans made pursuant to this clause (a) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the Loans then outstanding.

(b) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(d).

2.15 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they apply to Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment

may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.9 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) [Reserved].

(i) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.14(a) and clause (g) above, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations in the following order:

(i) first, to pay any costs and expenses then due to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents;

(ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Facility Agent and the Lenders;

(iii) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Loans;

(iv) fourth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans;

(v) fifth, to pay any other Obligations; and

(vi) sixth, to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses (i) through (vi) above the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of the applicable Facility Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or by any other Person that is not a Lender. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.

2.16 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be

deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.17 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower.

(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

(c) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or Governmental Authorization (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or Governmental Authorization not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the

earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(d), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.17(c) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(e) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

2.18 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation, order or Governmental Authorization, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation, order or Governmental Authorization), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder or thereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or

advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder or thereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.18(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.19 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) except to

the extent of a Tax on the overall net income of the recipient, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deduction, withholding, or payment attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Non-US Lender under clause (iii) above in respect of U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on amounts payable to a Non-US Lender at the time such Non-US Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Non-US Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from any Credit Party with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.19.

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

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than a Tax on the overall net income) or Other Taxes (including such Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Federal Withholding Tax. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so: each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that

such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (iii) to the extent such Non-US Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-US lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by Form W-8ECI , W-8BEN, Certificate re Non-Bank Status or W-8BEN from each beneficial owner, as applicable. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI , or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) or W-8IMY and the accompanying forms or certificates, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.19(b)(iii) to the extent that the U.S. federal withholding tax results from such Non-US Lender’s failure to deliver any such form or certificate that such Non-US Lender is legally entitled to deliver.

2.20 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office or take other measures pursuant to this Section 2.20 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office or take other measures as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.21 [Reserved].

2.22 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender

shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (each, a “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and such Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, or otherwise as if it were a prepayment; (3) to the extent an assignment to such Replacement Lender would require the consent of the Administrative Agent under Section 10.6, such Replacement Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Term Loan Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Terminated Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Replacement Lender pursuant to this Section 2.22, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of any Terminated Lender to execute an Assignment Agreement shall not render such assignment invalid.

2.23 Exchange Notes.

(a) Subject to satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2.23 and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, on and after the Initial Maturity Date, each Lender will have the option to notify (an “Exchange Notice”) the Administrative Agent in writing of its request for senior subordinated exchange notes (individually, an “Exchange Note” and collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for Loans Borrowed hereunder. Each Lender’s Exchange Notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount of Loans that such Lender desires to exchange for Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 2.23, which shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) and, if such Lender holds Extended Notes, be accompanied by the Extended Notes to be exchanged for Exchange Notes. Loans delivered to the Borrower in exchange for Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Borrower, and the corresponding amount of the Loan deemed repaid and the Exchange Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Note Indenture. It is understood and agreed that the Loans exchanged for Exchange Notes constitute the same indebtedness as such Exchange Notes and that no novation shall be effected by any such exchange.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Lender’s Loans shall only be exchanged for Exchange Notes hereunder upon the occurrence of an Exchange Trigger Event, notice of which shall be provided to the Borrower and all such Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Borrower shall a set a date (the “Exchange Date”) for the exchange of Loans for Exchange Notes, which date shall be no

less than ten business days and no more than twenty business days after such Exchange Trigger Event; provided that such Exchange Date shall not occur prior to the Initial Maturity Date. Borrower shall not be obligated to establish more than one Exchange Date nor effect the exchange of any Loans for Exchange Notes on more than one occasion.

(c) On such Exchange Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause the Exchange Note Trustee to execute and deliver, to each Lender that exchanges Loans, an Exchange Note in the principal amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount (including any accrued and unpaid interest not required to be paid in cash) of such Loan (or portion thereof) for which each such Exchange Note is being exchanged. The Exchange Notes shall be governed by the Exchange Note Indenture. Upon issuance of the Exchange Notes, any Notes delivered hereunder shall be canceled by Borrower and the corresponding amount of the Loans deemed repaid. If a Default (but not an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such exchange, any notices given or cure periods commenced while any such Loan was outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange Notes (with the same effect as if the Exchange Notes had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof).

(d) Each Lender (other than CNAI or JPMCB or their respective Affiliates) that exchanges Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes shall have the right to fix the interest rate on its Exchange Note (each such Exchange Note being a “Fixed Rate Exchange Note”) at a rate not higher than the then applicable interest rate on such Extended Term Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, upon the written representation of a Lender, certified to by an authorized officer, transferring an Exchange Note that an interest rate higher than the then applicable interest rate on such Extended Term Loan (such higher rate, the “Transfer Rate”) is necessary in order to permit such Lender to transfer such Exchange Note to a third party and receive gross consideration equal to the principal amount thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such transfer, then such interest rate on the Fixed Rate Exchange Note shall be fixed at a rate not higher than the Transfer Rate; provided that such Transfer Rate shall not exceed a rate of 11.25% per annum.

(e) The Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable after being requested to do so by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and following the date of the Exchange Trigger Event, (i) select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Lenders to act as Exchange Note Trustee, (ii) enter into the Exchange Note Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Note Indenture, and (iii) cause counsel to the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed legal opinion in form and substance customary for a transaction of that type to be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, with respect to due authorization, execution and delivery; validity; and enforceability of the Exchange Documents and the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement referred to in clause (ii) above). The Exchange Note Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal offices in the Borough of Manhattan, in The City of New York, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make each Credit Extension to be made thereby, each Credit Party represents and warrants to each Lender, on the Closing Date, that the following statements are true and correct (it being understood and agreed that the representations and warranties made on the Closing Date are deemed to be made concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions):

4.1 Organization; Requisite Power and Authority; Qualification. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization as identified in Schedule 4.1, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (c) is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever its ownership, operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.2 Capital Stock and Ownership. The Capital Stock of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party requiring, and there is no membership interest or other Capital Stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any additional membership interests or other Capital Stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Capital Stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.2 correctly sets forth the ownership interest of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

4.3 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party that is a party thereto.

4.4 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) violate (i) any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any of the Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) to the extent such violation could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except to the extent such conflict, breach or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Liens created under the Term Loan Credit Documents or Liens created under the Revolving Credit Documents); or (d) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and disclosed in writing to the Lenders and except for any such approvals or consents the failure of which to obtain will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5 Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority, as of the Closing Date.

4.6 Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

4.7 Historical Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments. As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.8 Projections. On and as of the Closing Date, the Projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of Fiscal Year 2008 through and including Fiscal Year 2015 (the “Projections”) are based on good faith estimates made by the management of the Borrower based on assumptions believed to be reasonable when made; provided, that it is understood and agreed that actual results of the Borrower and its subsidiaries may differ from the results projected in such Projections and that such differences may be material.

4.9 No Material Adverse Change. Since January 31, 2007, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, or could reasonably be expected to result in, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Insurance. All policies of insurance of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation and employee health and welfare insurance, are in full force and effect and are of a nature and provide such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by businesses of the size and character of such Person.

4.11 Compliance with Laws; Adverse Proceedings, etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is in violation of any applicable laws, statutes, regulations or orders (including Environmental Laws), or any applicable restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority governing the conduct of business or ownership of property by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, in each case, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.12 Payment of Taxes. All material Tax returns and reports of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have duly and timely paid, collected, withheld, or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid, collected, withheld, or remitted all material Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax return) due and payable, collectible, withholdable or remittable by it and all assessments received by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

4.13 Properties. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.14 Environmental Matters. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law. There are and, to each of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under

Environmental Laws could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.15 No Defaults. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.16 Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.17 Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

4.18 Labor Matters. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.19 ERISA Matters. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue

Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.20 Solvency. The Credit Parties (on a consolidated basis) are and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by the Credit Parties on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be Solvent.

4.21 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own or license or otherwise have the right to use all licenses, permits, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, copyright applications, Internet domain names, franchises, authorizations and other intellectual property rights (including all Intellectual Property) that are used in the operations of their respective businesses, without infringement upon or conflict with the rights of any other Person with respect thereto, including all trade names associated with any private label brands of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries except, in each case, as will not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no license, permit, patent, patent application, trademark, trademark application, service xxxx, trade name, copyright, copyright application, Internet domain name, franchise, authorization, other intellectual property right (including all Intellectual Property), slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or component, or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries infringes upon or conflicts with any rights owned by any other Person, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened and, there is no infringement by third parties of any of the foregoing except, in each case, as will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.22 [Reserved].

4.23 Disclosure. All information prepared or furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder taken as a whole, is complete and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. All financial projections, if any, that have been be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made and furnished to the Joint Lead Arrangers, it being understood that actual results may vary materially from financial projections.

4.24 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans are being used by the Borrower (and, to the extent distributed to them by any Borrower, each other Credit Party) solely to finance the Transactions.

4.25 [Reserved].

4.26 Purchase Documents; Representations and Warranties in Acquisition Agreement. The Lenders have been furnished true and complete copies of the Acquisition Agreement and each other document listed on Schedule 4.26. All representations and warranties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries set forth in the Acquisition Agreement were true and correct in all material respects as of the time such representations and warranties were made and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if such representations and warranties were made on and as of such date, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

4.27 Anti-Terrorism Law

(a) No Credit Party and, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, none of its Affiliates is in violation of any requirement of law relating to terrorism or money laundering (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”), and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56.

(b) No Credit Party and to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, no Affiliate or broker or other agent of any Credit Party acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Loans is any of the following:

For so long as the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any document or notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to contain Nonpublic Information unless the Borrower specifies otherwise. The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice which contains Nonpublic Information (or is deemed to contain Nonpublic Information) shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public side Lenders.

5.2 Existence.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 and Section 12, to induce the Lenders to make the Loans, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and each Agent, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment in full when due of all Obligations, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, whether or not enforceable as against the Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing, and whether due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

7.2 Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Section 7, Section 12 or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for which any Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Section 7, Section 12 or any other Credit Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law) (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (a) to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrower to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law, (ii) this Section 7.2(b), (iii) Section 12 or (iv) any other Contractual Obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of Obligations arising under this Section 7.2 or Section 12 or other guaranties of the Obligations of the Borrower by such parties.

7.3 Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Loans and the other financial accommodations provided to the Borrower under the Credit Documents and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought.

7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrower and any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid and without limiting the generality of the

foregoing, if any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Lender or Agent, as applicable, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may have against any such security, in each case as such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in its discretion may determine consistent with the applicable Credit Document or the applicable Related Obligation Document and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Related Obligation Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Related Obligation Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Related Obligation Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Related Obligation Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be

illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Related Obligation Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Lender’s or Agent’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of, or any failure of priority of, a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, for the benefit of the Lenders and each Agent: (a) any right to require any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon 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 that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Lender’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior by such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, which amounts to gross negligence or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the other Credit Documents, the Related Obligation Documents or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 or Section 12 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Lender or Agent, as the case may be. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.3. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may have against such other guarantor (including any Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and each Agent and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Subject to Section 11 hereof, any Indebtedness of any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and each Agent and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.8 Continuing Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9 Authority of Guarantors. It is not necessary for any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10 Financial Condition of the Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Related Obligation Documents may be entered into from

time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Related Obligation Document is entered into, as the case may be. No Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Related Obligation Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Lender or Agent, as the case may be. In the event any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) to disclose any information that such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

7.11 Default, Remedies. The Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from Guaranteed Obligations. If any Obligation of the Borrower is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default hereunder or upon any default by the Borrower as provided in any other Credit Document or Related Obligation Document, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations of the Borrower then due, without first proceeding against the Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) of the Guaranteed Obligations or joining the Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent may (unless the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full), without notice to any Guarantor, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to such Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, or any of its respective Affiliates.

7.12 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued

on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and the Lenders and each Agent that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment or payments are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.13 Waiver of Judicial Bond. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives the requirement to post any bond that otherwise may be required of any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in connection with any judicial proceeding to enforce such Lender’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, rights to payment hereunder or in connection with any other legal or equitable action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with, or related to this Guaranty and the Credit Documents or Related Obligation Documents to which it is a party.

7.14 Discharge of Guaranty upon Sale of Guarantor. If the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and such Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or other disposition.

9.4 Facility Agent Entitled to Act as Lenders. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Facility Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lenders,” “Requisite Lenders” and similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Facility Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. Any Facility Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders, or the other Facility Agent.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Facility Agent and each of its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Facility Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Facility Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon 5 Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint an applicable successor Agent selected from among the Lenders.

(b) The Syndication Agent may resign as Syndication Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the other Facility Agent and the Lenders; provided that upon the effectiveness of such resignation, each reference in this Agreement to the Syndication Agent shall be deemed to be a reference to the Administrative Agent.

9.9 Approved Electronic Communications.

(a) Each of the Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the Agents may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Facility Agent to be their electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(b) Although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Facility Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to understand and assume, the risks of such distribution.

If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because

the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses.

(d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection

with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.19(c). On and after the applicable Assignment Effective Date, the applicable assignee shall be entitled to receive all interest paid or payable with respect to the assigned Loan, whether such interest accrued before or after the applicable Assignment Effective Date.

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Loans represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in loans such as the applicable Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Term Loan Commitments for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f) Effect of Assignment. On and after the applicable Assignment Effective Date, upon the recording of such Assignment Agreement in the Register and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Credit Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(g) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates) in all or any part of its Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or 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 any Loan 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 assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each

participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(h) Participant’s Right. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any change in law after the participant becomes a participant.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, 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, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

10.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.16, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

10.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Facility Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Facility Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Related Obligation Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Facility Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or

in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to any Facility Agent or any Lender (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of any such Person), or any Facility Agent or Lender exercises their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Loans of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

SECTION 11. SUBORDINATION

11.1 Obligations Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower. The Lenders covenant and agree that payments of the Obligations by the Borrower shall be subordinated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 to the prior payment in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, of all amounts payable in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, whether now outstanding or hereafter created (including any interest accruing subsequent to an event specified in Section 8.1(f) or (g) whether or not such interest is an allowed claim against the Borrower), that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, and that each holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement.

11.2 Priority and Payment Over of Proceeds in Certain Events.

(a) Subordination on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of the Borrower. Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower (including any interest accruing subsequent to an event specified in Section 8.1(f) or (g) whether or not such interest is an allowed claim enforceable against the Borrower) shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, before the Lenders shall be entitled to receive any payment by the Borrower of any Obligations and upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 11 shall be made by the Borrower or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or their representatives to the extent necessary to pay all of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower.

(b) Subordination on Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. Upon the maturity of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower becoming due and payable whether by maturity, lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower then due and payable shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, before any payment is made by the Borrower or any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower with respect to the Obligations. No direct or indirect payment by the Borrower or any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower of any Obligations whether pursuant to the terms of the Loans or upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise shall be made, if at the time of such payment, there exists a default (as defined in the document governing any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower) in the payment of all or any portion of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on behalf of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. In addition, during the continuation of any other event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated, upon the earlier of (i) the receipt by the Agent of written notice from the agent or representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or (ii) the date of acceleration of the Loans, no payment may be made by the Borrower upon or in respect of the Obligations, for a period (“Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such notice or the date of such acceleration and ending on the earlier to occur of 179 days after receipt of such notice (unless such Payment Blockage Period shall be terminated by written notice to the Agent from such agent) or the date of such acceleration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period or successive Payment Blockage Periods with respect to the same payment on the Obligations extend beyond 179 days from the date the payment on the Obligations was due and (y) there must be 180 consecutive days in any 365-day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For all purposes of this Section 11.2(b), no event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period by the holders or by the agent or other representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

(c) Rights and Obligations of the Lenders. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Agent or any Lender shall have received any

payment or distribution on account of any Obligation at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section 11.2, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash or Cash Equivalents all Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower in accordance with their terms after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower.

If payment of the Obligations is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall promptly notify the agent or other representatives for Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower of the acceleration.

Upon any payment or distribution of cash, Cash Equivalents, assets or securities referred to in this Section 11, the Lenders (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, and upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making any such payment or distribution, delivered to the Lenders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 11.

The Borrower shall give written notice to each of the Lenders of any default or event of default under any Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower may have been issued, and, in the event of any such event of default, shall provide to the Agent the names and address of the trustees or other representatives of holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, other than as specifically set forth in this Section 11.

With respect to the holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, each Lender undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of such Lender as are specifically set forth in this Section 11, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders or owners of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower shall be read into this Agreement against the Lenders. The Lenders shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders or owners of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or to the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other representative of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower.

11.3 Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution. Nothing contained in this Section 11 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent or delay (i) the Borrower, except under the conditions described in Section 11.2, from making payments at any time for the purpose of paying Obligations, or from depositing with the Agent any moneys for such payments, or (ii) subject to Section 11.2, the application by the Agent of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of paying Obligations.

11.4 Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower Not To Be Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower to enforce subordination as provided in this Section 11 shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions and covenants herein, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing Section, such holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 11 or the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place, terms or time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or otherwise amend

or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which any Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release, or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged, or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or fail to perfect or delay in the perfection of the security interest in such property; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower and any other Person. Each Lender by making a Loan hereunder and purchasing or accepting a Note waives any and all notice of the creation, modification, renewal, extension or accrual of any Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower and notice of or proof of reliance by any holder or owner of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower upon this Section 11 and the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Section 11, and all dealings between the Borrower and the holders and owners of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Section 11.

The provisions of this Section 11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower.

11.5 Subrogation. Upon the payment in full in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2 of all amounts payable under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Lenders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower to receive payments or distributions of assets of Borrower made on such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower until the Obligations shall be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents; and for purposes of such subrogation no payments or distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower of any cash, property or securities to which the Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 11, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower by the Lenders, shall, as between the Borrower, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower and the Lenders, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand. A release of any claim by any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower shall not limit the Lenders’ rights of subrogation under this Section 11.5.

If any payment or distribution to which the Lenders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Section 11 shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11, to the payment of all amounts payable under the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, then and in such case, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower at the time outstanding the full amount of any such payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower payable under or in respect of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower in full in cash or Cash Equivalents in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2.

11.6 Obligations of the Borrower Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Section 11 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair as between the Borrower and the Lenders the obligations of the Borrower, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Lenders the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Lenders and creditors of the Borrower other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Lenders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 11 of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower in respect of cash, property or securities of the Borrower received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

The failure to make a payment on account of Obligations by reason of any provision of this Section 11 shall not prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.

11.7 Lenders Authorize Agent to Effectuate Subordination. Each Lender hereby authorizes and expressly directs the Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Section 11 and appoints the Agent its attorney in fact for such purpose, including, without limitation, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other similar remedy or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Borrower, the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the Obligations in the form required in said proceedings and causing said claim to be approved. If the Agent does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower are hereby authorized to have the right to file and are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Lenders. In the event of any such proceeding, until the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower is paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, without the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, no Lender shall waive, settle or compromise any such claim or claims relating to the Obligations that such Lender now or hereafter may have against the Borrower.

SECTION 12. SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEE OBLIGATIONS

12.1 Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Guarantee Senior Indebtedness. The Lenders covenant and agree that payments of the obligations by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee (collectively, as to any Guarantor, its “Guarantee Obligations”) shall be subordinated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12 to the prior payment in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, of all amounts payable in respect of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor whether now outstanding or hereafter created (including any interest accruing subsequent to an event specified in Section 8.1(f) or (g) whether or not such interest is an allowed claim against such Guarantor), that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, and that each holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement.

12.2 Priority and Payment Over of Proceeds in Certain Events.

(a) Subordination of Guarantee Obligations on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Such Guarantor. Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings (other than a liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor into the Borrower or another Guarantor), all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including any interest accruing subsequent to an event specified in Section 8.1(f) or (g) whether or not such interest is an allowed claim enforceable against such Guarantor) shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, before the Lenders shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to any Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor and upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets or securities of such Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 12 shall be made by such Guarantor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Guarantor Senior

Indebtedness of such Guarantor or their representatives to the extent necessary to pay all of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(b) Subordination of Guarantee Obligations on Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. Upon any Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor becoming due and payable whether by maturity, lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor then due and payable shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, before any payment is made by such Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of such Guarantor with respect to the Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor. No direct or indirect payment by any Guarantor or any Person acting on behalf of such Guarantor of any Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor whether pursuant to the terms of the Loans or upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise shall be made, if at the time of such payment, there exists a default (as defined in the document governing any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor) in the payment of all or any portion of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on behalf of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. In addition, during the continuation of any other event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated, upon the earlier of (i) receipt by the Agent of written notice from the agent or representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or (ii) the date of acceleration of the Loans, no such payment may be made by such Guarantor under its Guarantee for a period (“Guarantor Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such notice or the date of the acceleration referred to in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier to occur of 179 days after receipt of such written notice by the Agent (unless such Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall be terminated by written notice to the Agent from such agent) or the date of the acceleration of the Loans, as the case may be (provided such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall theretofore not have been accelerated). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Guarantor Payment Blockage Period or successive Guarantor Payment Blockage Periods with respect to the same payment on such Guarantee extend beyond 179 days from the date the payment on such Guarantee was due and (y) there must be 180 consecutive days in any 365-day period during which no Guarantor Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For all purposes of this Section 12.2(b), no event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Guarantor Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Guarantor Payment Blockage Period by the holders or by the agent or other representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

(c) Rights and Obligations of the Lenders. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Agent or any Lender shall have received any payment or distribution on account of any Guarantee Obligation with respect to the Loans at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section 12.2, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash or Cash Equivalents all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in accordance with their terms after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing contained in this Section 12 will limit the right of the Lenders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 8 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or otherwise.

Upon any payment or distribution of cash, Cash Equivalents, assets or securities referred to in this Section 12, the Lenders (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, and upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making any such payment or distribution, delivered to the Lender for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 12.

The Guarantors shall give written notice to each of the Lenders of any default or event of default under any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or under any agreement pursuant to which Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, and, in the event of any such event of default, shall provide to the Agent the names and address of the trustees or other representatives of holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

With respect to the holders and owners of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, each Lender undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of such Lender as are specifically set forth in this Section 12, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders or owners of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Agreement against the Lenders. The Lenders shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders or owners of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or to the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other representative of the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, other than those specifically set forth in this Section 12.

12.3 Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution. Nothing contained in this Section 12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent or delay (i) Guarantors, except under the conditions described in Section 12.2, from making payments at any time for the purpose of paying Guarantee Obligations, or from depositing with the Agent any moneys for such payments, or (ii) subject to Section 12.2, the application by the Agent of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of paying Guarantee Obligations.

12.4 Rights of Holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness Not To Be Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided in this Section 12 shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Guarantors with the terms and provisions and covenants herein, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing Section, such holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 12 or the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place, terms or time of payment of, or renew or alter, Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release, or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged, or otherwise securing Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or fail to perfect or delay in the perfection of the security interest in such property; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Guarantors and any other Person. Each Lender by making a Loan and purchasing or accepting a Note waives any and all notice of the creation, modification, renewal, extension or accrual of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and notice of or proof of reliance by any holder or owner of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness upon this Section 12 and the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Section 12, and all dealings

between the Guarantors and the holders and owners of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Section 12.

The provisions of this Section 12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

12.5 Subrogation. Upon the payment in full in accordance with the terms of Section 12.2 of all amounts payable under or in respect of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the Lenders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Guarantors made on such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness until the Guarantee Obligations shall be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of Section 12.2; and for purposes of such subrogation no payments or distributions to holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 12, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 to holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness by the Lenders, shall, as between such Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the Lenders, be deemed to be a payment by such Guarantor to or on account of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand. A release of any claim by any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall not limit the Lenders’ rights of subrogation under this Section 12.5.

If any payment or distribution to which the Lenders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Section 12 shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12, to the payment of all amounts payable under the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, then and in such case, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding the full amount of any payments or distributions received by such holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness payable under or in respect of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or Cash Equivalents in accordance with the terms of Section 12.2.

12.6 Obligations of the Guarantors Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Section 12 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Guarantees is intended to or shall impair as between the Guarantors and the Lenders the obligations of the Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Lenders the Guarantee Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Lenders and creditors of the Guarantors other than the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Lenders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 12 of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantors received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

The failure to make a payment on account of Guarantee Obligations by reason of any provision of this Section 12 shall not prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.

12.7 Lenders Authorize Agent to Effectuate Subordination. Each Lender hereby authorizes and expressly directs the Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Section 12 and appoints the Agent its attorney in fact for such purpose, including, without limitation, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other similar remedy or otherwise)

tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of any Guarantor, the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the Guarantee Obligations in the form required in said proceedings and causing said claim to be approved. If the Agent does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to have the right to file and are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Lenders. In the event of any such proceeding, until the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, without the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, no Lender shall waive, settle or compromise any such claim or claims relating to the Obligations that such Lender now or hereafter may have against the Guarantors.
