(d) Hedging Agreements. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall affect any Loan Party’s obligations under any Hedging Agreement entered into with a Bank Product Provider.

ARTICLE 3
GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan as follows:

(i) as to Base Rate Loans, a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, a rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans.

All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or the Maturity Date shall be payable on demand.

(b) Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(i) The Borrower shall select Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.4 or at the time a Notice of Conversion or Continuation is given pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii).

(ii) The Borrower shall have the option to (A) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (x) convert all or any part of its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans or (y) continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans as Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that, in the case of a conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or the continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Term Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Term Loan is to be effective specifying (1) the Term Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor, (2) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of such Term Loans to be converted or continued, and (4) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurodollar Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such notice.

(iii) No more than one (1) Interest Period may be in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(iv) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless the Administrative Agent has received a request to continue or convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) immediately, automatically and without notice to the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (f) or (g), or (ii) at Required Lenders’ option and upon prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request Eurodollar Rate Loans, (B) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans and (z) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the Maximum Interest Rate (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America as amended, 12 U.S.C. Section 85, as amended). In no event shall the Borrower or any Guarantor be obligated to pay interest or such amounts as may be deemed interest under applicable law in amounts which exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. In the event any interest or deemed interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate (“Excess”), the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be applied, first, to the payment of then outstanding and unpaid principal hereunder; second to the payment of the other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to such Borrower or Guarantor. All monies paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread during the entire term of this Agreement in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time hereunder and the Maximum Interest Rate from time to time in effect in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable laws. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall be deemed to be incorporated into each of the other Loan Documents (whether or not any provision of this Section 3.1 is referred to therein).

(e) Interest Payment and Computations. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month. Interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period. Interest on Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. All other computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

Section 3.2 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

Section 3.3 Loan Accounts. The Term Loans made by each Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loan in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 3.4 Pro Rata Treatment, Sharing of Payments, Funding by Lenders, Etc.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Lenders: (i) the making and conversion of Term Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Term Loans and (ii) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of the Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, while any Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) and Section 3.4(c)), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Loan Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Term Loans owed to such Person or any other amount payable to such Person hereunder (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided that such Person’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, if any Lender (including the Administrative Agent) shall obtain from any Loan Party payment of any principal of or interest on any Term Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Term Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Loan Party to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Term Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining

or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(d) Each Loan Party agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section 3.4 may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section 3.4, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Term Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Loan Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.4 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section 3.4 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Nothing in this Section 3.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Term Loan Commitment.

Section 3.5 Payments Generally.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in clause (b) below, each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Term Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified

for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent Payment Account, in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes hereunder. If any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or (ii) in the event that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent will attempt to honor any written request received from the Borrower to hold such payment until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to do so.

(c) To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of Collateral which payments or proceeds 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, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. This Section 3.5(c) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 3.5 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.6 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

Section 3.7 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested (or deemed requested) hereunder nor shall the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be 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 subject to Section 12.3, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 3.8 Bank Products. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents solely for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and

security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Administrative Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider (including, without limitation, Bank Product Providers that provide Noticed Bank Products and any other Bank Product Provider) unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Administrative Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Administrative Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). The Loan Parties may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although no Loan Party is required to do so. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

ARTICLE 4
YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1 Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) that on any date by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (such notice, the “Initial Notice”) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination. Thereafter, no Term 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 Initial Notice no longer exist (in which case the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders). Upon receipt of the Initial Notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue such Term Loans, as proposed by the Administrative Agent, in the amount specified in such notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Term Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 4.2 Changed Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) any change in any law or interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority makes it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan as to which the

interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Required Lenders determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that it has become impracticable as a result of a circumstance that adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market to make or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders determine that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (or, the LIBOR Rate, in the case of a proposed Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Term Loan, then, in each case, such Lender or Lenders shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and may (A) declare that Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate will not thereafter be made by such Lender, such that any request for Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate from such Lender shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, unless such Lender’s declaration has been withdrawn (and it shall be withdrawn promptly upon the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above) and (B) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans (as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate) immediately, in which event all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate of such Lender shall be so converted.

Section 4.3 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); (b) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever other than any Excluded Tax with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.5 or Excluded Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender described in Sections 4.5(d)); or (c) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Section 4.4 Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender or the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Section 4.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any of the Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings, liabilities, restrictions or conditions of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding all Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable in respect of the Obligations to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.5), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(c) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(d) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.5) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of any Loan Party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 4.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the recipient), whichever of the following is applicable (but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so): (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from, or a reduction to, withholding tax

under an income tax treaty, or any successor form, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business or any successor form, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a certificate of the Foreign Lender to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described and Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to or for a Foreign Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable requirements of law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of an additional amount from any Loan Party pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund. Each Loan Party, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

Section 4.6 Breakage Indemnity. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to the 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 redeployment of such) that it sustains (a) 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 request for borrowing, or a conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a request for conversion or continuation, (b) 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 such Term Loan, or (c) 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. This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 4.7 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 4.3 or 4.4 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.8 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this such Sections for any increased costs incurred or reductions occurring more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender becomes aware of the event giving rise to such Lender’s claim for compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.9 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If Section 4.2 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, then such Lender shall promptly, and in any event if so requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to take such other actions as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such Sections in the future and (ii) would not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and the Administrative Agent or such Lender would not suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9. The Borrower hereby agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If Section 4.2 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, or becomes a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 4.5, then within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.11), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower has received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 14.11, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 14.11, (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Term Loans that it has funded, if any, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and other amounts payable to it hereunder (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, Bank Product Obligations owed thereto), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) and the Borrower (in the case of accrued interest, fees and other amounts, including amounts under Section 4.6), (iv) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation and payments, and (v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws or regulations. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall impair any rights that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

Section 4.10 No Requirement of Match Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to acquire Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to otherwise match fund any Obligations as to which interest accrues based on the Eurodollar Rate. All of the provisions of this Article 4 shall be deemed to apply as if the Administrative Agent, each Lender or any Participant had acquired such deposits to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any other Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the Eurodollar Rate by acquiring such Dollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or other applicable Obligations.

the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date and ratifies and confirms the authorization of the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to adopt on behalf of such Loan Party any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the Collateral in any financing statement naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Loan Party as debtor includes assets and properties of such Loan Party that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Loan Party to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Loan Party at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any continuation, amendment or termination with respect to any financing statement naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party as debtor.

In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the Closing Date, the Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any Loan Party (including by any agent or representative), such Loan Party shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Control Agent, all such tangible chattel paper and instruments, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree. At the Administrative Agent’s option, each Loan Party shall, or the Administrative Agent may at any time on behalf of any Loan Party, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper][instrument] is subject to the security interest of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Administrative Agent and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party.”

(c) In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time hold or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing.

The Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any deposit account (other than an Excluded Bank Account) unless on or before the opening

of such deposit account, such Loan Party shall have obtained a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account, duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained.

(e) No Loan Party owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, as of the Closing Date, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary as of the Closing Date, in each case except for investment, securities and commodities accounts identified on Schedule 8.10 and securities identified on Schedule 8.12.

(i) In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the Closing Date hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Control Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party are uncertificated and are issued to such Loan Party or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and shall as the Administrative Agent may specify, either cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Control Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Loan Party or such nominee, or arrange for the Control Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(ii) The Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or any other similar account (other than an Excluded Bank Account) with any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice of the intention of such Loan Party to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Loan Party is dealing and the purpose of the account, the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account is opened or maintained shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and on or before the opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary, such Loan Party shall as the Administrative Agent may specify either (A) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and such securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary or (B) arrange for the Control Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Loan Parties are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the Closing Date. In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or any similar instrument whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Such Loan Party shall immediately, as the Administrative Agent may specify, either (i) deliver, or cause

to be delivered to the Control Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to the Control Agent by such Loan Party and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to the Control Agent or as the Control Agent may otherwise direct or (ii) cause the Control Agent to become, at the Borrower’s expense, the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).

(g) The Loan Parties do not have any commercial tort claims as of the Closing Date. In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time after the Closing Date have any such commercial tort claims (excluding any commercial tort claim where a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party has reasonably determined that the amount likely to be recovered in respect of such claim will not exceed $500,000), such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include the express grant by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent of a security interest in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof). In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to constitute such grant to the Administrative Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without limiting the authorization of the Administrative Agent provided in Section 6.2(a) or otherwise arising by the execution by such Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, each Loan Party shall promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such commercial tort claim.

(h) Material Government Contracts.

In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time after the Closing Date become a party to any Material Government Contract, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a copy of such Material Government Contract and (B) a duly executed and completed Instrument of Assignment and Notice of Assignment with respect to such Material Government Contract. In addition, in the event that any Material Government Contract is terminated or amended in any manner materially adverse to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in accordance with Section 9.6(b)(ii).

(ii) If (A) a Material Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) any other Event of Default (other than a Material Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing without waiver or cure for sixty (60) consecutive days after the occurrence thereof

(which sixty (60) consecutive days shall be inclusive of any applicable grace period with respect to such Event of Default required to elapse in order for the corresponding Default, if any, to mature into such Event of Default), then, in any such case, the Administrative Agent may deliver all Instruments of Assignment and all Notices of Assignment to the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority for each Material Government Contract and the Loan Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to have such Notices of Assignment acknowledged in writing by the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority.

In the event that any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time after the Closing Date in the custody, control or possession of such carriers, the Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, Loan Parties shall take all reasonable steps to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Collateral Access Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person and the Loan Party that is the owner of such Collateral.

(j) The Loan Parties shall take any other actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and second priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in any and all of the Collateral (subject only to the Liens permitted under Section 10.2), including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC and other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that any Loan Party’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing the Administrative Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral, and (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral.

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Subject to Section 13, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Loan Party to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, at its option and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower, accelerate the payment of all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) and demand immediate payment thereof to the Administrative Agent for itself and the benefit of the Lenders (provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f) and 11.1(g), all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall automatically become immediately due and payable).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Loan Party, at the Borrower’s expense, to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent, (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral

(including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Administrative Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Loan Party, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Loan Parties and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by the Administrative Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by the Administrative Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Loan Parties waive any other notice. In the event the Administrative Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Loan Party waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

(d) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of any Loan Party against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and that the Administrative Agent has a Lien therein and the Administrative Agent may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of the Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and are payable directly and only to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as the Administrative Agent may require. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to the Administrative Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

(e) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by

other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on, or any adverse claims against, Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.2(e) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.2(e). Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.2(e) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.2(e).

(f) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Loan Party, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(g) At any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by the Administrative Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not then due or may hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations. The Loan Parties shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Section 11.3 Crediting Payments and Proceeds.

(a) In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth herein or any other Loan

Document, all payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of all the Obligations (including proceeds of any Collateral) shall be applied as follows (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders):

first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, from any Loan Party;

second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from any Loan Party (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them);

third, to pay interest due in respect of any Term Loan (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them);

fourth, to (a) pay principal in respect of all Term Loan and (b) to pay any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Noticed Bank Products consisting of Hedge Agreements (on a pro rata basis among such Noticed Bank Products and, in each case, based on amounts then certified (in the manner described in Section 3.8) by the applicable Bank Product Provider to the Administrative Agent to be due and payable to such Bank Product Provider) (ratably among the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth payable to them));

fifth, to pay or repay any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Noticed Bank Products (other than Noticed Bank Products consisting of Hedge Agreements), on a pro rata basis among such Noticed Bank Products and, in each case, based on amounts then certified (in the manner described in Section 3.8) by the applicable Bank Product Provider to the Administrative Agent to be due and payable to such Bank Product Provider;

sixth, to pay or prepay any and all other Obligations then due and owing (other than Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders) including Bank Product Obligations (based on amounts then certified (in the manner described in Section 3.8) by the applicable Bank Product Provider to the Administrative Agent to be due and payable to such Bank Product Provider), on a pro rata basis;

seventh, to pay or prepay any and all Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and

last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, to the extent the Borrower uses any proceeds of the Term Loans to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first, to the Obligations arising from Term Loans that were not used for such purposes, and second, to the Obligations arising from Term Loans the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such Collateral.

Section 11.4 Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and

irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.2 and 14.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.2 and 14.3. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release a Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) such Guarantor has ceased to be, or simultaneously with such release will cease to be, a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 10.4 or 10.5, (ii) such Guarantor has ceased to be, or simultaneously with its release from the Guaranty will cease to be, a Subsidiary and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such release.

The Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Loan Party or security interest, mortgage or Liens granted to the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Term Loans hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the Liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.

(d) Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise), relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Each Lender hereby appoints (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and Liens upon the Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Administrative Agent, the Control Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 12.12 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” as used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 and Section 14.4 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Administrative

Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the existing Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed).

Section 12.13 Other Agent Designations. The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time determine that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of any such designation. Any Lender that is so designated as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation by the Administrative Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender rely, on a Lender so identified as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE 13
GUARANTY

Section 13.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loan hereunder or any Lender (or its Affiliates) to provide any Bank Products and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the extensions of credit hereunder and the provision of Bank Products, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional. If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder or in connection with any Bank Product, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their respective order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state).

Section 13.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of any and all Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 11.1(f) and 11.1(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of itself and the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that any Loan Party shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to a Loan Party, the estate of a Loan Party, a trustee, receiver, interim

receiver, monitor or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state, federal, provincial or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

Section 13.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution or termination of, or increase, decrease or change in personnel by, a Loan Party, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Obligations that the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay a Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

Section 13.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party in respect of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Loan Party and whether or not any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

Section 13.5 Authorization. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement or the agreements governing Bank Products, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers or obligors.

Section 13.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or other obligor of the Obligations or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 13.7 Waiver.

(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Obligations, including without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election,

foreclose on or otherwise enforce its rights under any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s or other obligor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against the Borrower or any other guarantor or other obligor of the Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to secure payment of the Obligations until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full.

Section 13.8 Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that another Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13.7. The provisions of this Section 13.8 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 13.9 Limitation on Enforcement. The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender or Bank Product Provider shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement. The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.

Section 13.10 Confirmation of Payment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the Obligations that are the subject of this Guaranty, confirm to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that such Obligations have been paid in full.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or at the Required Lenders’ option, by the Administrative Agent with the authorization or consent of the Required Lenders, and as to amendments to any of the Loan Documents, by each Loan Party (except for amendments to Article 12 that relate solely to the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent and are not adverse to the interests of the Loan Parties) and such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall be effective and binding as to the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; except, that, no such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall:

(i) reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of payment of principal, interest or any fees or reduce the principal amount of any Term Loan without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate during the continuance of an Event of Default,

(ii) increase the amount of the Term Loans of any Lender over the amount thereof then provided hereunder, in each case without the consent of such Lender,

(iii) subordinate the priority of any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any other Person (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 10.2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender);

(iv) release all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral or release all a substantially all of the value of the Guaranties of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents (except as expressly required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and except as permitted under Section 12.10), without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender),

(v) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender),

(vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.4),

without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), and

(vii) amend, modify or waive any terms of this Section 14.2, the definition of Pro Rata Shares or the application of payments in Section 3.4 or 11.3, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a):

(A) this Agreement may be amended to increase the interest rate or any fees hereunder solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(B) modifications to the Loan Documents may be made to the extent necessary to grant a security interest in additional collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties without the consent of any Lender; and

(C) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(b) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, any Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any such right, power and/or remedy which the Administrative Agent, any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.2(a) above, in connection with any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), but the consent of the Required Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, replace such Non-Consenting Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to sell, assign and transfer to an Eligible Assignee, without recourse, the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto; provided that such Eligible Assignee consents to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its right under this Section 14.2(c), which notice shall specify the date on which such purchase and sale shall occur. Such purchase and sale shall be made in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 14.11 (including, without limitation, payment to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower of the assignment fee specified in Section 14.11) and pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption (whether or not executed by the Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, such Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender (except as the Eligible Assignee and such Non-

Consenting Lender may otherwise agree) the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the Term Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Non-Consenting Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be deemed entitled to any early termination fee). The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Assumption if the Non-Consenting Lender fails to execute same.

(d) The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section 14.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.2(a) above, (i) in the event that the Administrative Agent shall agree that any items otherwise required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent as a condition of the making of the Term Loans hereunder may be delivered after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to extend the date for delivery of such items to a date not later than one hundred eighty (180) after the Closing Date or take such other action as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate as a result of the failure to receive such items as the Administrative Agent may determine or may waive any Event of Default as a result of the failure to receive such items, in each case without the consent of any Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent may consent to any change in the type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and amend the terms hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect any such change, in each case without the approval of any Lender.

(e) The consent of the Administrative Agent and a Bank Product Provider that is providing Bank Products and has outstanding any such Bank Products at such time that are secured hereunder shall be required for any amendment to the priority of payment of Obligations arising under or pursuant to any such Hedge Agreements of a Loan Party or other Bank Products as set forth in Section 11.3.

Section 14.3 Costs and Expenses. Subject to any and all limitations and restrictions on the obligation of the Loan Parties to pay fees, costs and expenses contained elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay (a) to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), filing fees and taxes paid or payable in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recording, syndication, and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto, including any amendments, supplements or consents which may hereafter be contemplated (whether or not executed) or entered into in respect hereof and thereof, (b) to the Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent), filing fees and taxes paid or payable in connection with the collection, liquidation, enforcement and defense of the Obligations and the Administrative Agent’s rights in the Collateral, including, without limitation: (i) all costs and expenses of filing or recording (including UCC financing statement filing taxes and fees, documentary taxes, intangibles taxes and mortgage recording taxes and fees, if applicable); (ii) costs and expenses and fees for insurance premiums, inspections, appraisal fees and search fees, costs and expenses of Patriot Act compliance, costs and expenses of remitting loan proceeds and collecting checks and other items of payment, together with the Administrative Agent’s customary charges and fees with respect thereto; (iii) costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; (iv) costs and expenses paid or actually incurred in connection with obtaining payment of the Obligations, enforcing the Liens of the Administrative Agent, selling or otherwise realizing upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforcing the provisions of this Agreement and the

other Loan Documents or defending any claims made or threatened against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters) and (v) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs heretofore and from time to time hereafter incurred by the Administrative Agent during the course of periodic field examinations of the Collateral and such Loan Party’s operations, plus a per diem charge at the Administrative Agent’s then standard rate for the Administrative Agent’s examiners in the field and office (which rate as of the Closing Date is $1,000 per person per day) and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender) actually incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section or (ii) in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any Term Loans.

Section 14.4 Indemnification. Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent (and each sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Arranger, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, partners, advisors and counsel and their respective affiliates (each such person being an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements, settlement costs and other reasonable charges of counsel) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel or (iii) any Term Loan or any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; provided that Loan Parties shall not have any obligation under this Section 14.4 to indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document and such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 14.4 may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to the Indemnitees in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 14.4. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. All amounts due under this Section 14.4 shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.5 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise provided therein) and any dispute arising out of the relationship

between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York.

(b) The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, whichever the Administrative Agent may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or its or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Loan Party or its or their property).

(c) Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mail, or, at the Administrative Agent’s option, by service upon any Loan Party (or the Borrower on behalf of such Loan Party) in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, such Loan Party shall appear in answer to such process, failing which such Loan Party shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by the Administrative Agent against such Loan Party for the amount of the claim and other relief requested.

(d) THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(e) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to any Loan Party (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by such Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on the Administrative Agent and such Lender that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of the

rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement.

No notice to or demand on any Loan Party which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle such Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 14.7 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

Section 14.8 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the Term Loans at the time owing to the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5^th) Business Day;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The assignor and assignee to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (provided that only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds by a Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and accession agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Holdings, the Borrower or any of the their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 14.2 that directly affects such Participant and

could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.4 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.5 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.5 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 14.12 Term.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition, the Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), such termination to become effective upon the repayment in full of the Obligations.

(ii) furnish cash collateral to the Administrative Agent (or at the Administrative Agent’s option, a letter of credit issued for the account of the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, by an issuer reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and payable to the Administrative Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts as the Administrative Agent determines in good faith are

reasonably necessary to secure the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers from loss, cost, damage or expense, (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with:

(A) any contingent Obligations (including checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has not yet received full and final payment);

(B) any continuing obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement; and

(c) No termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and the Administrative Agent’s continuing Lien upon the Collateral and the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to Loan Parties, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and satisfied in full; provided that the Administrative Agent may release such security interests and take such further actions as authorized pursuant to Section 12.10.

Section 14.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 14.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”)) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and/or enters into a business relationship with it, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such person in accordance with the Patriot Act and any other applicable law. Loan Parties are hereby advised that any Term Loans hereunder are subject to satisfactory results of such verification.

Section 14.15 Counterparts, Etc. This Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Loan Documents.
