NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1. Credit Facilities.

(a) Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers from time to time until the Revolving Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”). The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of all Revolving Lenders shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Amount. The obligations of each Revolving Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. Until the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1(a). Each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made on notice by Borrowers to one of the representatives of Agent identified in Schedule 1.1 at the address specified therein. Any such notice must be given no later than (1) noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) noon (New York time) on the date which is 3 Business Days prior to the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Each such notice (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit and such other information as may be reasonably required by Agent. If Borrowers desire to have the Revolving Credit Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrowers must comply with Section 1.5(e).

(ii) The obligation of each Borrower shall be joint and several to pay the full principal amount of each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or, if less, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the

-2-

Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Term Loan.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Term Lender agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “Initial Term Loan”) on the Closing Date to the Borrowers in the amount of the applicable Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Initial Term Loan, the aggregate principal amount of such Initial Term Loan being $126,500,000. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including the requirement that the Effective Time (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) shall have occurred as of, or shall occur simultaneously with, the Delayed Draw Funding Date, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Term Lender agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in the amount of the applicable Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan on the Delayed Draw Funding Date, in accordance with clauses (A) through (C) below of this Section 1.1(b)(i).

(A) Notice of Borrowing. The Borrowers may request during the term of this Agreement prior to the Term Commitment Termination Date the Delayed Draw Term Loan by delivering a notice to one of the representatives of Agent identified in Schedule 1.1 at the address specified therein. Any such notice must be given no later than (1) noon (New York time) on the date which is 1 Business Day prior to the proposed Delayed Draw Term Loan, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) noon (New York time) on the date which is 3 Business Days prior to the proposed Delayed Draw Term Loan, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Such notice (a “Notice of Delayed Draw Term Loan”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b)(i)(A), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit and such other information as may be reasonably required by Agent. Agent shall notify the Term Lenders promptly after receipt of the Notice of Delayed Draw Term Loan on the date such Notice of Delayed Draw Term Loan is received by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. If Borrowers desire to have the Delayed Draw Term Loan bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrowers must comply with Section 1.5(e).

(B) Amount. The Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $3,500,000 and shall be made once, if at all, on the Delayed Draw Funding Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Initial Term Loan is made on the Merger Funding Date in the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Commitment, the Term Lenders shall have no obligation to make the Delayed Draw Term Loan.

(C) Disbursement. Each Term Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan available to the Agent, for the account of the Borrowers, on the Delayed Draw Funding Date at the office of the Agent designated in writing, upon reasonable advance notice by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date specified in the

-3-

Notice of Delayed Draw Term Loan in funds immediately available to the Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrowers by the Agent by depositing in the account designated by the Borrowers the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Term Lenders and in like funds as received by the Agent. All such payments by each Term Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) The obligations of each Term Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. The obligations of each Borrower shall be joint and several to pay each Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5.

(iii) Borrowers shall repay the Term Loan during the six consecutive one year periods following the Merger Funding Date in the applicable aggregate amount set forth opposite such one year period below in the chart below. Each such aggregate amount shall be paid in equal consecutive quarterly installments on the first Business Day of April, July, October and January during each such one year period, commencing on the first Business Day of the Fiscal Quarter immediately following the Merger Funding Date. The amount of each quarterly installment shall equal an amount which, when combined with all installments payable during such one year period, shall equal the annual aggregate amount applicable to such one year period.


Year	Aggregate Annual Amount
1	$	6,500,000
2	$	6,500,000
3	$	13,000,000
4	$	13,000,000
5	$	16,250,000
6	$	19,500,000

The final installment due on February 28, 2014 shall be in the amount of $55,250,000 or, if different, the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan.

(iv) Notwithstanding Section 1.1(b)(iii), the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed.

(v) Each payment of principal with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid to Agent for the ratable benefit of each Term Lender making a Term Loan, ratably in proportion to each such Term Lender’s respective Term Loan Commitment.

-4-

(d) Reliance on Notices. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or similar notice believed by Agent in good faith to be genuine. Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from any Borrower as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to another Borrower or Borrowers.

1.2. Letters of Credit.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in Annex B, Borrowers shall have the right to request, and Lenders agree to incur, or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of each Borrower.

1.3. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments. Borrowers may at any time on at least 5 days’ prior written notice by Borrowers to Agent (i) voluntarily prepay all or part of the Revolving Loan or the Term Loan and/or (ii) permanently reduce (but not terminate) the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that (A) any such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount and (B) after giving effect to such reductions, Borrowers shall comply with Section 1.3(b)(i). In addition, Borrowers may at any time on at least 10 days’ prior written notice by Borrowers to Agent terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that upon such termination, all Loans and other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Annex B hereto. Any voluntary prepayment and any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment must be accompanied by payment of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b). Upon any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, each Borrower’s right to request Revolving Credit Advances, or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf, shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated, as the case may be; provided, that a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit. Each notice of partial prepayment shall designate the Loans or other Obligations to which such prepayment is to be applied; provided that any partial prepayments of the Term Loan made by or on behalf of any Borrower shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loan.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time the aggregate outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan exceeds the Maximum Amount (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the earlier of Borrower’s knowledge of the existence of such Overadvance or notice from Agent of the existence of such Overadvance, repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after

-5-

repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Annex B to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(ii) Within three Business Days of receipt by any Credit Party of proceeds of any asset disposition, including the Sale of Stock of any of its Subsidiaries (excluding proceeds of asset dispositions permitted by clauses (a) or (c) of Section 6.8) in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of (A) reasonable and customary commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), if any, and (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c). Each Credit Party shall distribute or contribute such proceeds of each such asset disposition to one or more Borrowers, as applicable, in order for the Borrowers to make such prepayment.

(iii) If any Credit Party incurs Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.3), no later than three Business Days following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c). Each Credit Party shall distribute or contribute such proceeds of such Indebtedness to one or more Borrowers, as applicable, in order for the Borrowers to make such prepayment.

(iv) Until the Termination Date, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan on the date that is ten (10) days after the earlier of (A) the date on which Holdings’ annual audited Financial Statements for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year are delivered pursuant to Annex E or (B) the date on which such annual audited Financial Statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Annex E, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year. Any prepayments from Excess Cash Flow paid pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining installments of the Term Loan. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.3(b)(iv) signed by Holdings’ chief financial officer certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in the amounts and at the times required under this Section 1.3(b)(iv) and each such prepayment shall be applied as set forth in Section 1.3(c).

(v) Within five (5) Business Days of receipt by any Credit Party of the proceeds of any auction rate securities owned by such Credit Party on the Closing Date, such Credit Party shall, in an amount equal to such proceeds, prepay the principal balance of any Revolving Credit Advances outstanding until the same has been paid in full.

-6-

(vi) Within five (5) Business Days after the Merger Funding Date, Borrowers shall prepay the principal balance of any Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at such time in an amount equal to the amount of any Revolving Credit Advances made on the Closing Date.

(c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Any prepayments made by any Borrower pursuant to Sections 1.3(b)(ii) or (b)(iii) above or Section 5.4(c) shall be applied as follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Term Loan; third, to prepay the scheduled principal installments of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis, until the Term Loan has been prepaid in full; fourth, to interest then due and payable on Revolving Credit Advances; fifth, to the principal balance of Revolving Credit Advances outstanding until the same has been paid in full; and last, to any Letter of Credit Obligations to provide cash collateral therefor in the manner set forth in Annex B, until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth in Annex B. The Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments.

(d) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be construed to constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

1.4. Use of Proceeds.

Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans solely to (i) pay a portion of the consideration for the Acquisition, (ii) repay all amounts owing under all other Indebtedness (except for Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.3), (iii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing and this Agreement, and (iv) in addition, in the case of proceeds of the Revolving Loan, for the financing of Borrowers’ ordinary working capital and Capital Expenditures, to finance Permitted Acquisitions and for general corporate needs.

1.5. Interest and Applicable Margins.

(a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrowers, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time; and (ii) with respect to the Term Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrowers, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin per annum.

Adjustments in the Applicable Margins commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2008 shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, for each calendar month commencing at least five (5) days after the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited or annual audited (as applicable) Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, the Applicable Margins. Failure to timely deliver such Financial Statements shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in the Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the first day of the first calendar month following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which such Event of Default is waived or cured. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the Financial Statements or for any other reason, Agent or Requisite Lenders determine that (a) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher level of pricing for any period, then Borrowers shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to Lenders, and shall pay to Lenders promptly on demand by Agent, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.

(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year (or, in the case of Index Rate Loans,

-8-

calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year), in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers, absent manifest error.

(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a), (h) or (i), or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrowers, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall (x) with respect to any Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (h) or (i), accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default or (y) with respect to any other Event of Default, accrue from the date of receipt of written notice from Agent of such Event of Default and shall continue until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

(e) Subject to the terms of Section 1.1(a)(i), Section 1.1(b)(i), this Section 1.5(e) and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2, Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance or Delayed Draw Term Loan be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance or Delayed Draw Term Loan which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrowers wish to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrowers in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the additional conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 shall not have been satisfied), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrowers must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable

-9-

hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.5(a) through (e), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.5(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in Section 1.11 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrowers or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

1.6. [Intentionally Omitted].

1.7. [Intentionally Omitted].

1.8. Cash Management Systems.

On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers will establish and will maintain until the Termination Date, the cash management systems described in Annex C (the “Cash Management Systems”).

1.9. Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to GE Capital, individually, the Fees specified in that certain fee letter dated January 15, 2008 between Holdings and GE Capital (the “GE Capital Fee Letter”), at the times specified for payment therein. It being agreed and acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth therein, such GE Capital Fee Letter shall survive, and shall not be superseded by, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any reference to the “Facilities” therein shall mean the Commitments herein in an aggregate amount of $160,000,000.

(b) As additional compensation for the Revolving Lenders, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, in arrears, on or before the fifth Business Day of each month prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, a Fee for Borrowers’ non-use of the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (calculated

-10-

on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between (x) the Maximum Amount (as it may be adjusted from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the aggregate Revolving Loan outstanding during the period for which such Fee is due.

(c) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Revolving Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fee as provided in Annex B.

(d) As additional compensation for the Term Lenders, Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term Lenders, in arrears, on or before the fifth Business Day of each month prior to the Term Commitment Termination Date and on the Term Commitment Termination Date, a Fee for Borrowers’ non-use of the Term Loan Commitment in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitment.

1.10. Receipt of Payments.

Borrowers shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account. For purposes of computing interest and Fees as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

1.11. Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) voluntary prepayments shall be applied as determined by Borrowers, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(a); and (ii) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 1.3(c) or Section 1.3(b)(iv) as applicable. All payments and prepayments applied to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. As to any other payment, and as to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Commitment Termination Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Agent shall apply any and all such payments to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to Fees and Agent’s expenses reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the Loans, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan; (3) to principal payments on the Loans and any Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract and to provide cash collateral for Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner described in Annex B, ratably to the aggregate, combined principal balance of the Loans, Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and (4) to all other Obligations, including expenses of Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 11.3.

-11-

(b) At any time an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) has occurred and is continuing for at least ten (10) Business Days, Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of each Borrower and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, Charges, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with Section 5.4(a)) and interest and principal, other than principal of the Revolving Loan, owing by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due, it being understood that in the event Agent charges the Revolving Loan balance for any unpaid amount, the Event of Default then in existence under Section 8.1(a) solely as a result of Borrowers’ failure to pay such amount shall be cured by such charge to Borrowers’ Revolving Loan balance. At Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder.

1.12. Evidence of Debt.

(a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Agent, acting as agent for the Borrowers solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.10 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrowers) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder.

(b) Records of Agent. Agent, acting as agent for the Borrowers solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 1.12, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.10 (or at such other address as the Agent may notify the Borrowers) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan and Letter of Credit, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 9.1 (Assignments and Participations)), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, for LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid and (5) any other payment received by Agent from the Borrowers and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit

-12-

Obligations) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.12 and Section 9.1 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

(d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Credit Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Credit Parties, Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrowers, Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by Agent.

(e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, each Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a Facility and, with respect to Revolving Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.12(e)-1 (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and, with respect to Term Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.12(e)-2 (each a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”); provided, however, that only one Revolving Note and one Term Note, as applicable, shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

1.13. Indemnity.

(a) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the

-13-

transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that no such Credit Party shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from that Indemnified Person’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) any Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) any Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination of, any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of, LIBOR Loans after Borrowers have given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) any Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrowers with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.13(b), and such calculation shall be binding (absent manifest error) on the parties hereto unless Borrowers shall object in writing within 10 Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in reasonable detail.

-14-

1.14. Access.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and by confidentiality agreements, each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon 3 Business Days’ prior notice as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate, but, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no more than twice in any Fiscal Year: (a) provide Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors and employees (including officers) of each Credit Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party’s books and records, and (c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party; provided, that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be responsible for the costs of any such visits, inspections or verifications in any Fiscal Year. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if access is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral as determined by Agent, each such Credit Party shall provide such access to Agent and to each Lender at all times and without advance notice. Each Credit Party shall, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make available to Agent and its counsel, as quickly as is possible under the circumstances, originals or copies of all books and records that Agent may reasonably request. Each Credit Party shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time reasonably request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that maintains records for such Credit Party, and shall maintain duplicate records or supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by such Credit Party. Representatives of other Lenders may accompany Agent’s representatives on regularly scheduled audits at no charge to Borrowers.

1.15. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder (including any payments made pursuant to Section 12) or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with this Section 1.15, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (including any sum payable pursuant to Section 12) or under the Notes, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.15) Agent or Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 45 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Agent and Lenders shall not be obligated to return or refund any amounts received pursuant to this Section.

(b) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable

-15-

under this Section 1.15) paid by Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrowers and Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such exemption (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Any foreign Person that seeks to become a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrowers and Agent prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No foreign Person may become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender.

1.16. Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) If any Lender shall have determined that any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrowers shall from time to time within 5 Business Days of written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to Borrowers and to Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case adopted after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrowers shall from time to time, within 5 Business Days of written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail, submitted to Borrowers and to Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable

-16-

commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.16(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on written notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrowers through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrowers shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing by Borrowers to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrowers, within 5 Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, convert all LIBOR Loans into Index Rate Loans.

(d) Within 15 days after receipt by Borrowers of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Sections 1.15(a), 1.16(a) or 1.16(b), Borrowers may, at their option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers, with the consent of Agent, may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within 90 days following notice of their intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale; provided, that Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement Lender if the Affected Lender rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts within 15 days following its receipt of Borrowers’ notice of intention to replace such Affected Lender. Furthermore, if Borrowers give a notice of intention to replace and do not so replace such Affected Lender within 90 days thereafter, Borrowers’ rights under this Section 1.16(d) shall terminate with respect to such replacement attempt and Borrowers shall promptly pay all increased costs or additional amounts demanded by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 1.15(a), 1.16(a) and 1.16(b).

1.17. Single Loan; Joint and Several Obligations.

All Loans to each Borrower and all of the other Obligations of each Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general joint and several obligation of Borrowers secured, until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral.

-17-

2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

2.1. Conditions to the Initial Loans.

No Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan or incur any Letter of Credit Obligations on the Closing Date or on the Delayed Draw Funding Date, as applicable, or to take, fulfill, or perform any other action hereunder, until the following conditions have been satisfied or provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent, or waived in writing by Agent and Lenders; provided, that only the conditions set forth in clauses (b), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.1 shall be applicable for the Delayed Draw Funding Date to the extent the Delayed Draw Funding Date is not the Closing Date:

(a) Credit Agreement; Loan Documents. This Agreement or counterparts hereof shall have been duly executed by, and delivered to, Borrowers, each other Credit Party that is a party hereto, Agent and Lenders; and Agent shall have received such documents, instruments, agreements and legal opinions as Agent shall reasonably request in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all those listed in the Closing Checklist attached hereto as Annex D, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(b) Approvals; Absence of Litigation. Agent shall have received (i) reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Credit Parties have obtained all required consents and approvals of all Persons including all requisite Governmental Authorities, to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the Related Transactions (other than the Merger in case the Closing Date occurs on a date that is prior to the Merger Funding Date) or (ii) an officer’s certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent affirming that no such consents or approvals are required. There shall not exist any action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding pending or threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority that has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on any of the Related Transactions.

(c) Payment of Fees. Borrowers shall have paid the Fees required to be paid on the Closing Date in the respective amounts specified in Section 1.9 (including the Fees specified in the GE Capital Fee Letter), and shall have reimbursed Agent for all fees, costs and expenses of closing incurred (to the extent Borrowers have been notified of such costs and expenses) as of or prior to the Closing Date.

No Credit Party is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, or any other federal or state statute that restricts or limits its ability to incur Indebtedness or to perform its obligations hereunder. The making of the Loans by Lenders to Borrowers, the incurrence of the Letter of Credit Obligations on behalf of Borrowers, the application of the proceeds thereof and repayment thereof will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.10. Margin Regulations.

No Credit Party owns any Margin Stock (other than Target Margin Stock which will no longer be Margin Stock as of the Merger Funding Date), and none of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock (other than Target Margin Stock which will no longer be Margin Stock as of the Merger Funding Date), for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of

-25-

Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will violate Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Credit Party will take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

Neither any Credit Party nor ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any material contribution or pay any amount due as required by either Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any such Plan. Neither any Credit Party nor ERISA

-26-

Affiliate has engaged in a “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the IRC, in connection with any Plan, that could reasonably be expected to subject any Credit Party to a material tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC.

5.3. Books and Records.

Each Credit Party shall keep adequate books and records with respect to its business activities in which proper entries, reflecting all financial transactions, are made in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements attached as Disclosure Schedule 3.4(a).

(a) The Credit Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, maintain the policies of insurance described on Disclosure Schedule 3.18 as in effect on the date hereof or otherwise in form and amounts and with insurers reasonably acceptable to Agent; provided that the Credit Parties shall have at least thirty (30) days to effect any changes in their policies of insurance described on Disclosure Schedule 3.18 reasonably requested by Agent. Such policies of insurance (or the loss payable and additional insured endorsements delivered to Agent) shall contain provisions pursuant to which the insurer agrees to provide 30 days’ prior written notice to Agent in the event of any non-renewal, cancellation or amendment of any such insurance policy. If any Credit Party at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the

-33-

policies of insurance required above, or to pay all premiums relating thereto, Agent may at any time or times thereafter obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto that Agent deems advisable. Agent shall have no obligation to obtain insurance for any Credit Party or pay any premiums therefor. By doing so, Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default or Event of Default arising from any Credit Party’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor. All sums so disbursed, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by Borrowers to Agent and shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral.

(b) Agent reserves the right at any time upon any change in any Credit Party’s risk profile (including any change in the product mix maintained by any Credit Party or any laws affecting the potential liability of such Credit Party) to, after prior written notice to Borrowers, require additional forms and limits of insurance to, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, adequately protect both Agent’s and Lenders’ interests in all or any portion of the Collateral and to ensure that each Credit Party is protected by insurance in amounts and with coverage customary for its industry. If reasonably requested by Agent in writing, each Credit Party shall deliver to Agent from time to time a report of a reputable insurance broker, reasonably satisfactory to Agent, with respect to its insurance policies.

(c) Each Credit Party shall deliver to Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, endorsements to (i) all “All Risk” insurance naming Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, as loss payee, and (ii) all general liability and other liability policies naming Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, as additional insured. Each Credit Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Agent), so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the anticipated insurance proceeds exceed $1,000,000, as such Credit Party’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such “All Risk” policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Credit Party on any check or other item of payment for the proceeds of such “All Risk” policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such “All Risk” policies of insurance. Agent shall have no duty to exercise any rights or powers granted to it pursuant to the foregoing power-of-attorney, but, while exercising any rights and powers hereunder, agrees to act in good faith. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent of any loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral in the amount of $1,000,000 or more, whether or not covered by insurance. After deducting from such proceeds the expenses, if any, incurred by Agent in the collection or handling thereof, Agent may, at its option, apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in accordance with Section 1.3(c), or permit or require the applicable Credit Party to use such money, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Collateral in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the casualty giving rise to such insurance proceeds could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such insurance proceeds do not exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate for such casualty and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall make available to the applicable Credit Party such proceeds and permit such Credit Party to replace, restore, repair or rebuild the property; provided, that if such Credit Party shall not have completed or entered into binding agreements

-34-

to complete such replacement, restoration, repair or rebuilding within 180 days of such casualty, such Credit Party shall pay such proceeds to Agent and Agent may apply such insurance proceeds to the Obligations in accordance with Section 1.3(c). To the extent not used to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Collateral, such insurance proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c).

5.5. Compliance with Laws and Corporate Integrity Agreement.

Each Credit Party shall comply with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations applicable to it, including all Healthcare Laws and those laws and regulations relating to ERISA and labor matters and Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with the terms and conditions of the Corporate Integrity Agreement in all material respects, subject to any transition period agreed to in writing by the Office of the United States Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services with respect to the Target and the Target’s Subsidiaries.

5.6. Supplemental Disclosure.

From time to time as may be reasonably requested by Agent (which request will not be made more frequently than once each year absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), the Credit Parties shall supplement each Disclosure Schedule hereto, or any representation herein or in any other Loan Document, with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing or occurring at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedule or as an exception to such representation or that is necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedule or representation which has been rendered inaccurate thereby (and, in the case of any supplements to any Disclosure Schedule, such Disclosure Schedule shall be appropriately marked to show the changes made therein); provided, that (a) no such supplement to any such Disclosure Schedule or representation shall amend, supplement or otherwise modify any Disclosure Schedule or representation, or be or be deemed a waiver of any Default or Event of Default resulting from the matters disclosed therein, except as consented to by Agent and Requisite Lenders in writing, and (b) no supplement shall be required or permitted as to representations and warranties that relate solely to any preceding specific date.

Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are appropriate or necessary to comply with Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Material on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate except where noncompliance could be reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $1,000,000; (c) notify Agent promptly after such Credit Party becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $1,000,000; and (d) promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice, request for information or any communication or report received by such Credit Party in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $1,000,000, in each case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party shall, upon Agent’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrowers’ expense, as Agent may from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, and (ii) permit Agent or its representatives to have access to all Real Estate for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and testing as Agent deems appropriate, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the reasonable costs of such audits and tests and the same will constitute a part of the Obligations secured hereunder.

5.9. Landlords’ Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters, Lease Performance and Real Estate Purchases.

(a) Each Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord’s agreement, mortgagee agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee with respect to any location where data, systems or information critical to the business of any Credit Party are located (excluding the current corporate headquarters of Target so long as the material data, systems and information located at the corporate headquarters of Target are transferred to the Dallas, Texas corporate headquarters of the Credit Parties within nine (9) months following the Closing Date), which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent. Each Credit Party shall timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or public warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located.

-36-

(b) In the event that the aggregate value of the real property owned by the Credit Parties is greater than $10,000,000, to the extent not previously delivered to the Agent, each Credit Party shall promptly deliver to Agent a Mortgage on any real property owned or thereafter acquired by such Credit Party, together with all Mortgage Supporting Documents relating thereto (or, if such real property is located in a jurisdiction outside the United States, similar documents deemed appropriate by Agent to obtain the equivalent in such jurisdiction of a first-priority mortgage on such real property) and all legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 5.9(b), which opinions shall be as reasonably required by, and in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to, Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Credit Parties shall continue to be obligated to deliver such Mortgages, Mortgage Supporting Documents and legal opinions described in the preceding sentence notwithstanding the fact that the aggregate value of such owned real property declines below $10,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless Borrowers and the Agent otherwise agree, prior to the Merger Funding Date, in no event shall AcquisitionCo, the Target or any of the Target’s Subsidiaries be required to grant a security interest in any of their respective real property or personal property as security for any Obligation.

Except with respect to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and, prior to the Merger Funding Date, the Target and the Target’s Subsidiaries, each Credit Party shall (i) cause each Person, upon it becoming a Subsidiary of such Credit Party (provided that this shall not be construed to constitute consent by any of the Lenders to any transaction not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement), promptly to guaranty the Obligations and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a first priority perfected security interest in and Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the personal property and fee-owned real property of such Subsidiary to secure the Obligations, (ii) pledge and deliver, or cause to be pledged and delivered, to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of the Stock (and all documents representing all certificated Stock) of such Subsidiary to secure the Obligations together with undated powers or endorsements duly executed in blank and (iii) execute such documents and take such actions (including the delivery of legal opinions, organizational documents, good standing certificates, resolutions and incumbency certificates) as may be reasonably required by Agent in connection therewith.

The parties to each sale, transfer or assignment made in reliance on clause (a) above (other than those described in clause (d) or (e) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such sale, transfer or assignment together with any existing Note subject to such sale, transfer or assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(c) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a sale, transfer or assignment by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such sale, transfer or assignment, and (2) if a sale, transfer or assignment by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one

-52-

assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such sale, transfer or assignment. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 9.1(a)(iii), upon Agent (and the Borrowers, if applicable) consenting to such assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment Agreement.

(c) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment Agreement by Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 1.12(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note, if any, shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Sections 9.2 through 9.9).

(d) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.1, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s securities by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (a) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.1, each Lender may, (x) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties towards such

-53-

Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 1.13, 1.15 and 1.16, but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 1.15(c) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 11.2(c) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 11.2(c)(v). No party hereto shall institute (and each of the Borrowers and each Credit Party signatory hereto shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person against any Indemnified Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnified Person as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Indemnified Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

9.2. Appointment of Agent.

GE Capital is hereby appointed to act on behalf of all Lenders as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party or any other Person. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by GE Capital or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent nor any of its

-54-

Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final court of competent jurisdiction.

If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite Term Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite Term Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to Environmental Liabilities or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Requisite Term Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

9.3. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages caused by its or their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which

-55-

may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

9.4. GE Capital and Affiliates.

With respect to its Commitments hereunder, GE Capital shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include GE Capital in its individual capacity. GE Capital and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such Affiliate, all as if GE Capital were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. GE Capital and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

9.5. Lender Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 3.4(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.6. Indemnification.

Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the obligations of Borrowers hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties.

-56-

9.7. Successor Agent.

Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor Agent appointed by Agent or Requisite Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the prior approval of Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that such approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.8. Setoff and Sharing of Payments.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.9(f), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or Guarantor) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (other than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to

-57-

Sections 1.13, 1.15 or 1.16). Each Credit Party that, during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, is a Borrower or Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

9.9. Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a) Advances; Payments.

(i) Agent shall notify Lenders, promptly after receipt of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of Revolving Advance is received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account as set forth in Annex G not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, and not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Revolving Credit Advance to Borrowers. All payments by each Revolving Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) Once each calendar week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments or Advances required to be made by it and has purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by Borrowers since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments and Advances, failed to fund the purchase of all such participations or failed to fund all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(i), Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrowers. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex G or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

-58-

(b) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender and Term Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, as applicable, available to Agent on each funding date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 9.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or Term Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender or Term Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Revolving Lender or Term Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender or Term Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to any Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender or Term Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance or Delayed Draw Term Loan is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance or Delayed Draw Term Loan until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender or Term Lender.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance or Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan or any payment required by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender or Term Lender (each such other Revolving Lender or Term Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance or fund the Delayed Draw Term Loan, purchase a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender,” a “Requisite Revolving Lender”

-59-

or a “Requisite Term Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders,” “Requisite Revolving Lenders” or “Requisite Term Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. At Borrowers’ request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(e) Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, any Credit Party, with notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event of Default; provided, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final court of competent jurisdiction. Lenders acknowledge that Borrowers are required to provide Financial Statements to Lenders in accordance with Annex E hereto and agree that Agent shall have no duty to provide the same to Lenders.

(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders; provided, that nothing in this Section 9.9(f) shall prohibit any Lender from (i) defending any action, suit or proceeding brought against such Lender by a Credit Party, (ii) filing suit regarding the collection of Obligations owed to it to the limited extent necessary to avoid the running of the applicable statute of limitations period, and (iii) filing a proof of claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

9.10. Titles.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no party hereto designated as a documentation agent, a syndication agent, an arranger or a bookrunner shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any fiduciary duty to any Lender or L/C Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any such documentation agent, syndication agent, arranger or bookrunner, in such capacity.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”):

(i) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (i) and in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”);

(ii) requiring the consent of Requisite Term Lenders, the consent of Term Lenders holding fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the aggregate Term Loan Commitments and Term Loan is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Term Lenders is not obtained;

(iii) requiring the consent of Requisite Revolving Lenders, the consent of Revolving Lenders holding fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Revolving Lenders is not obtained; or

(iv) requiring the consent of Requisite Lenders, the consent of Lenders holding fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the aggregate Commitments and Loans is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Lenders is not obtained,

then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrowers’ request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued but unpaid interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(e) Upon payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Obligations (other than unasserted indemnification Obligations), termination of the Commitments and a release of all claims against Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, Agent shall promptly deliver to Borrowers termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations.

11.3. Fees and Expenses.

Borrowers shall reimburse Agent (and, with respect to clauses (c), (d) and (e) below, all Lenders) for all fees, costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel, consultants, auditors or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers), incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents, closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder and those the perfection of Liens on Collateral and incurred in connection with:

-63-

(a) the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers by Agent of the proceeds of any Loan (including a wire transfer fee of $25 per wire transfer);

(b) any amendment, modification or waiver of, consent with respect to, or termination of, any of the Loan Documents or Related Transaction Documents or advice in connection with the syndication and administration of the Loans made pursuant hereto or its rights hereunder or thereunder;

(c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person and whether as a party, witness or otherwise), other than any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action instituted by Agent or any Lender against one or more other Lenders or the Agent only, in any way relating to the Collateral, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against any or all of the Borrowers or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent by virtue of the Loan Documents; including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders; provided, further, that no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement under this clause (c) in respect of any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action to the extent any of the foregoing results from such Person’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final court of competent jurisdiction;

(d) any attempt to enforce any remedies of Agent against any or all of the Credit Parties or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent or any Lender by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

(e) any workout or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; and

(f) efforts to verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral;

including, as to each of clauses (a) through (f) above, all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services and other advice, assistance or other representation, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 11.3, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by Borrowers to Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses;

-64-

court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or telecopy charges; secretarial overtime charges; and reasonable expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.

11.4. No Waiver.

Agent’s or any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Credit Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of an Event of Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, none of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Credit Party contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by any Credit Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of Agent and the applicable required Lenders, and directed to Borrowers specifying such suspension or waiver.

11.5. Remedies.

Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Agent or any Lender may have under any other agreement, including the other Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required.

11.6. Severability.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

11.7. Conflict of Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

11.8. Confidentiality.

Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Agent or such Lender applies to maintaining the confidentiality of its own

-65-

confidential information) to maintain as confidential all confidential information provided to them by the Credit Parties and designated as confidential for a period of two years following receipt thereof, except that Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Lender; (b) to any bona fide assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 9.1(d) and Section 11.8 (and any such bona fide assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or reasonably believed by Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Agent’s or such Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party; or (f) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Lender.

11.9. GOVERNING LAW.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN XXX XXXX XXXXXX, XXXX XX XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY X XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXX XXXX XXXXXX; PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER

-66-

PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH CREDIT PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN ANNEX H OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR 3 DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

11.10. Notices.

(a) Addresses. All notices, demands, requests, directions and other communications required or expressly authorized to be made by this Agreement shall, whether or not specified to be in writing but unless otherwise expressly specified to be given by any other means, be given in writing and (i) addressed to (A) the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Annex H, or (B) otherwise to the party to be notified at its address specified on the signature page of any applicable Assignment Agreement, (ii) posted to Intralinks^{^®}(to the extent such system is available and set up by or at the direction of the Agent prior to posting) in an appropriate location by uploading such notice, demand, request, direction or other communication to xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, faxing it to 000-000-0000 with an appropriate bar-coded fax coversheet or using such other means of posting to Intralinks^® as may be available and reasonably acceptable to the Agent prior to such posting, (iii) posted to any other E-System set up by or at the direction of Agent in an appropriate location or (iv) addressed to such other address as shall be notified in writing (A) in the case of Borrowers and Agent, to the other parties hereto and (B) in the case of all other parties, to Borrowers and Agent. Transmission by electronic mail (including E-Fax, even if transmitted to the fax numbers set forth in clause (i) above) shall not be sufficient or effective to transmit any such notice under this clause (a) unless such transmission is an available means to post to any E-System.

(b) Effectiveness. All communications described in clause (a) above and all other notices, demands, requests and other communications made in connection with this Agreement shall be effective and be deemed to have been received (i) if delivered by hand, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by overnight courier service, one Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iv) if delivered by facsimile (other than to post to an E-System pursuant to clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above), upon sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission, and (v) if delivered by posting to any E-System, on the later of the date of such posting in an appropriate location and the date access to such posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the standard procedures applicable to such E-System. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Borrowers or Agent) designated in Annex H to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.

-67-

11.11. Section Titles.

The Section titles and Table of Contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

11.12. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

11.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

11.14. Press Releases and Related Matters.

Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of GE Capital or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior written consent of GE Capital unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with GE Capital before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using the Credit Parties’ name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to Borrowers for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

-68-

11.15. Reinstatement.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, should any Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Borrower’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

11.16. Advice of Counsel.

Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 11.9 and 11.13, with its counsel.

11.17. No Strict Construction.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

11.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

11.19. Effect of Amendment and Restatement on Existing Credit Agreement.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Closing Date; (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as

-69-

provided in this Agreement; (iii) the Liens and security interests as granted under the Loan Documents (whether delivered hereunder or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement) securing payment of such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in this Agreement); and (iv) upon the effectiveness of this Agreement all loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately before the effectiveness of this Agreement will be Loans hereunder and all outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement will be Letters of Credit hereunder, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the modification effected by this Agreement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any choses in action or other rights created in favor of the Agent, the “Agent” under the Existing Credit Agreement, any lender under the Existing Credit Agreement, any Lender and each of their respective successors and assigns arising out of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers contained in or delivered (including representations, warranties and covenants delivered in connection with the making of Loans or other extensions of credit thereunder) in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided that it is understood and agreed that the Borrowers’ monetary obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of the loans thereunder are evidenced by this Agreement.

(c) All indemnification obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Except as expressly amended and restated hereby and by the Notes, the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall continue in full force and effect. On and after the Closing Date, (a) each reference in the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or similar words referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement (as further amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time) and (b) each reference in the Loan Documents to a “Note” or amendment or restatement thereof shall be a reference to a Note hereunder, and (c) each reference to “Agent”, “L/C Issuer” or “Lender” in a Loan Document shall be a reference to the Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender hereunder as the case may be.

12. CROSS-GUARANTY

12.1. Cross-Guaranty.

Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent, Lenders and each Secured Swap Provider and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 12 shall not be discharged until payment

-70-

and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

12.2. Waivers by Borrowers.

Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to xxxxxxxx assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

12.3. Benefit of Guaranty.

Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Agent or Lenders, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

12.4. Subordination of Subrogation, Etc.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 12.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to

-71-

subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 12, and that Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.

12.5. Election of Remedies.

If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

12.6. Limitation.

Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 12 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 1) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

(a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to Borrowers under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers; and

-72-

(b) the amount that could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such Borrower under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 12.7.

12.7. Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(c) This Section 12.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 12.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 12.1. Nothing contained in this Section 12.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit Parties under this Section 12.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

-73-

12.8. Liability Cumulative.

The liability of Borrowers under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Agent and Revolving Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, upon the request of any Borrower, Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by GE Capital or a Subsidiary thereof or a bank or other legally authorized Person selected by or acceptable to Agent and Borrowers, in each case in their reasonable discretion (each, an “L/C Issuer”) for Borrowers’ account on behalf of a Credit Party and guaranteed by Agent; provided, that if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by Agent but rather each Revolving Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, purchase (or be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the written consent of Agent, as more fully described in paragraph (b)(ii) below. The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) $15,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”) and (ii) the Maximum Amount less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise determined by the Agent, in its sole discretion, and neither Agent nor Revolving Lenders shall be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit may provide for a renewal thereof for additional one (1) year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date).

(b) Advances Automatic; Participations.

(i) In the event that Agent or any Revolving Lender shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance under Section 1.1(a) of the Agreement regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding any Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2, and each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to Agent for Agent’s own account its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving Credit Advance or payment by Agent under or in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

Annex B — Page 1

(ii) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Borrower to incur Revolving Credit Advances as contemplated by paragraph (b)(i) above because of an Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(h) or (i) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Revolving Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to an L/C Issuer, or if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then (A) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in the Agreement with respect to Revolving Credit Advances.

(i) If Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to the Agreement, including Section 8.2 of the Agreement, prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers will pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and Revolving Lenders cash or Cash Equivalents acceptable to Agent in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding for the benefit of Borrowers. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to Agent. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Borrowers and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Each Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. The Agreement, including this Annex B, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, or (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus 30 additional days) as, and in an amount equal to one

Annex B — Page 2

hundred five percent (105%) of, the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are satisfactory to Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by any Borrower, whether before or after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by such Borrower to Agent and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of such Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of such Borrower, to any other Obligations of any Borrower then due and payable.

(iv) No Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations, any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrowers or as otherwise required by law. Interest earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account shall be for the account of Borrowers.

(d) Fees and Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrowers shall pay to any L/C Issuer, on demand, such fees (excluding all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrowers shall give Agent at least 2 Business Days’ prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer) and a completed application for standby Letter of Credit or application and agreement for documentary Letter of Credit or application for documentary Letter of Credit (as applicable), each to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrowers and approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and

Annex B — Page 3

transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among Borrowers, Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(f) Obligation Absolute. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Agent and Revolving Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligations of each Revolving Lender to make payments to Agent with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable.

(v) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, that is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in the Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations are explicitly modified by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. If any “Accounting Changes” (as defined below) occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial

Annex F — Page 1

covenants, standards or terms used in the Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Borrowers, Agent and Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made; provided, however, that the agreement of Requisite Lenders to any required amendments of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all Lenders. “Accounting Changes” means (i) changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor thereto or any agency with similar functions), (ii) changes in accounting principles concurred in by any Borrower’s certified public accountants; (iii) purchase accounting adjustments under A.P.B. 16 or 17 and EITF 88-16, and the application of the accounting principles set forth in FASB 109, including the establishment of reserves pursuant thereto and any subsequent reversal (in whole or in part) of such reserves; and (iv) the reversal of any reserves established as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. All such adjustments resulting from expenditures made subsequent to the Closing Date (including capitalization of costs and expenses or payment of pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the expenditures are made and deducted as part of the calculation of EBITDA in such period. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders agree upon the required amendments, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon the required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change. For purposes of Section 8.1, a breach of a Financial Covenant contained in this Annex F shall be deemed to have occurred as of the earlier of the date the Financial Statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent or the date such Financial Statements were required to be delivered to Agent.
