On the Restatement Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding is $85,578,311.88, of which $5,578,311.88 constitutes the amount previously added to, and the amount of interest accrued but not yet added to, the principal amount of the Loans made on the Closing Date pursuant to the Existing Loan Agreement. Schedule A hereto sets forth the outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by each Lender on the Restatement Date.

SECTION 2.03 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Promise to Repay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender, the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date. Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent notice of any such payment promptly upon payment, which notice shall detail the amount of such payment and the Lenders to whom such payment was made.

(b) Lender and Administrative Agent Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by 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. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan hereunder; (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by each Lender of which the Administrative Agent is aware. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(c) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit B. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.05 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to 16.00% per annum compounded quarterly.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default occurring under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h), all Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.06 (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. On each Interest Payment Date prior to the Interest Payment Date in the month of April 2014 (such period, the “PIK Period”), Borrower shall (subject to its election in the succeeding sentence), in lieu of the payment in cash in whole of interest due on the Loans (other than interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), pay up to all (the “PIK Portion”) of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date by adding such PIK Portion to the principal amount of the Loans on such Interest Payment Date. If, during the PIK Period, Borrower elects to pay any or all of the PIK Portion in cash it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days of each relevant Interest Payment Date, written

notice of such election (it being understood that in the absence of any such notice with respect to an Interest Payment Date the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected not to pay interest due in cash). On the Interest Payment Date in the month of April 2014, and on all Interest Payment Dates thereafter, Borrower shall pay the interest due on each such date in cash. For all purposes under this Agreement, all amounts in respect of the PIK Portion for which the Borrower has not elected to make payment in cash shall be treated as additional principal amounts of the Loans and all references in this Agreement to Loans shall include the amount of such PIK Portion. Amounts in respect of the PIK Portion shall be allocated ratably to the principal amounts of the loans of each Lender in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans of such Lender at such Interest Payment Date.

(e) Interest Calculation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day).

(b) Mandatory AHYDO Prepayment. On each Interest Payment Date occurring after the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date, Borrower shall prepay a portion of each Loan outstanding on such Interest Payment Date equal to the AHYDO Amount on such Interest Payment Date at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the portion so prepaid.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with the consummation of a transaction, such notice of prepayment may be conditioned on the consummation of such transaction, and such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such transaction is not effected as contemplated in such notice. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by telecopier or electronic mail. Each partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in an amount that would be permitted, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06(d).

SECTION 2.11 [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.12 Yield Protection.

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

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

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) .

SECTION 2.13 [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments due to the Administrative Agent shall be made to the Administrative Agent and all such payments due to a Lender shall be made to such Lender, as applicable, at its payment office set forth on Schedule A or such other office as provided to the Borrower from time to time. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified otherwise.

(b) Pro Rata Treatment.

(i) Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders; and

(ii) Each payment on account of principal of the Loans shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders.

(c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to any Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such Lender, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such Lender.

(d) Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(d) applies, such Lender shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Lender is entitled under this Section 2.14(d) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(e) Lender Default. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the

Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.15 Taxes.

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

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

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall, upon the Borrower’s request and at the expense of the Borrower, provide such documents to the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Borrower may reasonably request, to enable the Borrower to contest such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to appropriate proceedings then available to the Borrower (so long as neither such contest nor the provision of such documents to the Borrower shall, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or the Lender, have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in any liability of, or a material adverse consequence to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and doing so is otherwise permitted under applicable law as determined by the Administrative Agent or such Lender). This Section 2.15(c) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a

Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. To the extent that a Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so, such Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit C, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is

required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

(g) U.S. Lenders. Each Lender who is a U.S. Person on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender, in the case of an assignee, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with duplicate executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if Borrower exercises its replacement rights under Section 10.02(d), then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13), from the assignee (to the

extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts;

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law; and

(iv) each Lender agrees that, if Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.16, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and such notes deemed cancelled.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, with respect to an exercise by Borrower of its rights under this Section 2.16(b) resulting from a claim for compensation by such Lender under Section 2.12, such Lender withdraws or waives such claim within 10 Business Days of such Lender’s receipt of the notice to such Lender of Borrower’s intent to exercise of its rights under this Section 2.16(b) referred to above.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.03 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower (a) will not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) consents, approvals, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure to obtain or perform which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of Borrower, (c) will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law, (d) will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon Borrower or its property, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by Borrower, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of Borrower.

The use of such Intellectual Property by each Company does not infringe the rights of any person, except for such claims and infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Registrations.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $1.0 million the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

duly paid, no Company has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof, except, in such case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in similar locations.

SECTION 3.20 Anti-Terrorism Law.

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

conveying, transferring or leasing, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 6.06 Limitations on Asset Sales.

(a) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale; provided, however, any Restricted Subsidiary may consummate an Asset Sale if:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of a sale of its property or assets or the issuance of its Equity Interests (other than in a merger or consolidation)) or another Restricted Subsidiary or the Borrower (in the case of a merger or consolidation) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by such Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of a sale of its property or assets or the issuance of its Equity Interests (other than in a merger or consolidation)) or another Restricted Subsidiary or the Borrower (in the case of a merger or consolidation) is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b) For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(1) any liabilities, as shown on the Borrower’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of any Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases such Restricted Subsidiary from such liabilities;

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days of the Asset Sale, converted by such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and

(3) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (2) or (4) of Section 6.06(c).

(c) Within twelve (12) months and five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, or, with respect to clauses (2) and (3) of this Section 6.06(c), if a contract for such investment has been entered into within twelve (12) months and five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, within 180 days of the date of such contract (but only if such 180th day occurs later than the end of such twelfth month), the Borrower may cause its Restricted Subsidiary to apply those Net Cash Proceeds at its option:

(1) to repay any secured Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owed to Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Equity Interests of, a person engaged in a Permitted Business; provided that in the case of acquisition of Equity Interests of any person, such acquisition is permitted by Section 6.04 (without giving effect to clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”);

(3) to make a capital expenditure permitted by Section 6.13; or

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(d) When the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds not applied or invested in accordance with the preceding paragraph (“Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $15.0 million, the Borrower will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Lenders with such Net Cash Proceeds, on a pro rata basis, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans with the remaining Excess Proceeds (the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”). In any Asset Sale Offer, the offer to prepay the Loans will be in an amount equal to 100% of principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of such prepayment (the “Asset Sale Payment”), and will be payable in cash; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make an Asset Sale Offer with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale that constitutes a Change of Control if the Borrower makes a Change of Control Offer in respect of such Change of Control in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement and prepays the principal amount of Loans properly requested by the Lenders and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(e) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise may invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Borrower may allow any Restricted Subsidiary to use those amounts for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Loans exceeds the pro rata amount of Excess Proceeds allocable to the Accepted Loans, the Administrative Agent will select the Accepted Loans to be repaid on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(g) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer (which shall remain open for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days following its commencement (the “Offer Period”)), the Borrower shall send, by first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each Lender at its address appearing in the Register, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the date of the Asset Sale Offer. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Lender to accept the Asset Sale Offer with respect to its Loans. Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Lenders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.06;

(2) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness subject to the Asset Sale Offer to be made pursuant to Section 6.06(d) and the amount of Excess Proceeds available to consummate the Asset Sale Offer and that, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the expiration of the Offer Period (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”), the Borrower shall prepay at par all Loans in respect of which the applicable Lender has validly accepted and not withdrawn the offer to prepay (the “Accepted Loans”) pursuant to this Section 6.06;

(3) that any Loan not accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Borrower defaults in making such payment, Accepted Loans shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(5) that Lenders electing to have a Loan prepaid pursuant to a Asset Sale Offer may elect to have all or any portion of such Loan prepaid;

(6) that Lenders electing to have a Loan prepaid pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such consent documentation as the Borrower may reasonably request;

(7) that Lenders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the aggregate principal amount of the Accepted Loans of such Lender and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans prepaid; and

(8) that if the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Loans exceeds the pro rata amount of Excess Proceeds allocable to the Accepted Loans (determined based on the principal amount of Accepted Loans that has accepted a prepayment offer with respect to such Excess

Proceeds), the Accepted Loans shall be prepaid on a pro rata basis (based upon the outstanding principal amount accepted for prepayment pursuant to this Section 6.06).

On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Borrower shall apply the lesser of (1) 100% of the Excess Proceeds available in accordance with this Section 6.06 and (2) the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Loans to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Accepted Loans.

SECTION 6.18 Limitations on Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of Borrower may not designate (a) Holdings or Opco as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (b) any other Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would cause a Default or an Event of Default.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints TCW IV, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Each person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent.

SECTION 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a person with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring

Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrower or Required Lenders may give any notice on behalf of an Administrative Agent under clause (a) above deeming the applicable Administrative Agent to have requested resignation and commencing the process of replacement in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) above if any of the events set forth in Sections 8.01(g) or (h) shall have occurred mutatis mutandis with respect to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.08 Equity Cure Documents. Each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Equity Cure Documents and to act as Administrative Agent under the Equity Cure Documents on such Lender’s behalf. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall act under the Equity Cure Documents solely at the direction of all of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the

Administrative Agent, and the actions taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under the Equity Cure Documents, shall be subject to and afforded the same protections and rights as the Administrative Agent has under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the other sections of this Article IX).

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may (subject to Section 10.01(d)) be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided however that the foregoing shall not apply to any notices that a Lender or the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that such Lender or Administrative Agent does not wish to receive electronically. The Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it (including as set forth in Section 10.01(d)); provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent or any Lender otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

communication that (i) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (ii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (iii) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender at its address set forth on Schedule A hereto or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to Borrower from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall require. In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as such Lender shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall require.

To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent and each Lender in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent and such Lender agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent or such Lender at its e-mail address(es) set forth on Schedule A hereto shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) Generally. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Required Consents. Subject to Section 10.02(d), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the

Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii));

(iii) (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or (B) change the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), without the written consent of each Lender;

(iv) [Intentionally Omitted];

(v) permit the assignment by Borrower of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) [Intentionally Omitted];

(vii) modify or change any provision of this Agreement or the related definitions affecting the subordination of the Loans without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(viii) change Section 2.14(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any other provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders of Loan disbursements, including the requirements of Section 2.02(a), without the written consent of each Lender;

(ix) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.02(d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(x) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lender” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any additional Lender or group of

Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination or grant any such consent;

(xi) modify or change Prepayment Premiums or instances in which they apply, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(xii) change or waive any provision of Article X as the same applies to the Administrative Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, in each case without the written consent of the Administrative Agent;

(xiii) in the event that the obligation to make a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer has arisen, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of Borrower to make and consummate such Change of Control Offer or such Asset Sale Offer, without written consent of each Lender.

(d) Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 10.02(b), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.16 so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided, however, that Borrower shall pay any Prepayment Premium above par to each non-consenting Lender at the time of such assignment. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and such Notes shall be deemed cancelled.

(e) Certain Amendments without Lender Consent. If the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. Notification of such amendment shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders promptly upon such amendment becoming effective.

SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay from time to time upon demand on and after the Closing Date (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, if any Lender requests the Borrower to obtain CUSIP numbers, the cost of obtaining and maintaining CUSIP numbers for the Loans) or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing searches to confirm that security filings and recordations have been properly made, (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which shall be limited to one primary counsel, any local counsel and any other counsel deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in the event of a conflict of interest under applicable rules of legal ethics), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans and (iii) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or any Company, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the failure of the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Company, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 5 Business Days after demand therefor.

SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than Black Diamond or Ares) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1.0 million, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents in writing (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) each of the Administrative Agent and Borrower consents to such assignment, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (x) no consents shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries and (y) no consent of Borrower shall be required during an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h);

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;

(v) TCW Group and their respective Affiliates shall not be permitted to effect any assignment which would result in such persons, in the aggregate, holding less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, without the consent of the other Lenders; and

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Assignment and Assumption to the Borrower, along with the address for notices for the assignee thereunder.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the

extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04.

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

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any person (other than a natural person, Black Diamond or Ares) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (iv), in the event that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates are the Participant, the other Lenders have been offered the opportunity to sell participations to such Participant on a pro-rata basis. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15

(subject to the requirements of that Section) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any change in Requirements of Law after the participant becomes a Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated

hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided that, with respect to Section 10.12, the survival thereof shall expire upon the one year anniversary of the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower on the Closing Date or thereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any objection which it may on the Closing Date have had or may thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier or electronic mail) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

SECTION 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

SECTION 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and

other representatives (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided, unless prohibited by applicable law in the opinion of its counsel or court order, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any such requirement or subpoena), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to this Section 10.12 or a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12 or a written confirmation of the same, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations or (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Lender or (g) with the written consent of Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information concerning Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect shareholders, or any of their respective employees, directors or Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Permitted Holders) received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a confidential basis from Borrower or any other person under or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, financial terms and financial and organizational information contained in any documents, statements, certificates, materials or information furnished, or to be furnished, by or on behalf of Borrower or any other person on a confidential basis in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents, but does not include any such information that (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (ii) was acquired or becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any of its direct or indirect shareholders, or any of their respective employees, directors, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Permitted Holders) or any of their respective agents or representatives. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies 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 Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of Borrower and other information regarding Borrower that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

100

SECTION 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.15 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 10.16 Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, supersede the Existing Loan Agreement from and after the Restatement Date with respect to the transactions hereunder and with respect to the Loans outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that except to the extent contemplated under the Assumption Agreement and this Agreement, (i) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the Existing Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Date and (ii) such Obligations, as assumed by the Borrower, are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in the Assumption Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.17 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, all obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Borrower;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against the Borrower;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

101

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

Exhibit D

Form of Opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP

March 20, 2009

To the Administrative Agent
and each Lender party to the
Loan Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of March 20, 2009 (the “Loan Agreement”), among Mattress Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and TCW/Crescent Mezzanine Partners IV, L.P., as Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

We have acted as counsel to the Company and Mattress Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Opco”), in connection with the Loan Documents (as defined below) being executed and delivered on the date hereof.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following documents:

(a) the Loan Agreement;

(b) the Notes (if any) being delivered on the date hereof;

(c) the Assignment, Assumption and Release Agreement, dated March 20, 2009, among Opco, the Company, TCW/Crescent Mezzanine Partners IV, L.P., as successor administrative agent, Mattress Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the other guarantors party thereto and the lenders party thereto.

The agreements referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Documents”.

We have examined such certificates, documents and records and have made such investigation of fact and such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of

New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States of America (collectively, the “Covered Laws”).

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Company and Opco (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

2. Each of the Company and Opco has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

3. Each of the Loan Documents to which each of the Company and Opco is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each such person and is enforceable against each such person in accordance with its terms.

4. The execution and delivery by the each of the Company and Opco of the Loan Documents to which such person is a party and the performance by such person of its obligations thereunder will not violate or require the repurchase of securities under its charter or by-laws. The execution and delivery by each of the Company and Opco of the Loan Documents to which such person is party and the performance by such person of its obligations thereunder will not violate any Covered Laws.

5. Under the Covered Laws, no consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Company or Opco in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each such person is party or the performance by each such person of its obligations thereunder.

6. We are not representing the Company or Opco in any pending litigation in which it is a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Loan Documents.

7. Neither the Company nor Opco is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinion that each of the Loan Documents to which each of the Company and Opco is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each such person, enforceable against each such person in accordance with its terms, is subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties and (ii) general principles of equity.

The opinions expressed herein do not purport to cover, and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability of Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable

provision of state law.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the qualification that the enforceability of provisions in the Loan Documents providing for indemnification or contribution may be limited by public policy considerations. In addition, we express no opinion as to (i) the extent to which broadly worded waivers, conclusive presumptions or determinations or powers of attorney may be enforced, (ii) the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents which purports to grant the right of setoff to an affiliate of a lender or a purchaser of a participation in the loans outstanding thereunder, which permits the exercise of a right of setoff against amounts not then due, or which constitutes a penalty or forfeiture or provides for liquidated damages, or (iii) the enforceability of any provision which provides for non-effectiveness of oral modifications, waiver of or consent to service of process and venue, waiver of offset or defenses, or judgment currency. In connection with the provisions of the Loan Documents whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts.

In addition, certain provisions contained in the Loan Documents may be unenforceable in whole or in part but the inclusion of such provisions in the Loan Documents does not affect the validity of any of the other provisions thereof, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents are sufficient for the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby.

This opinion is being furnished only to the addressees and is solely for their benefit and the benefit of their assignees who become Lenders or Administrative Agent under the Loan Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person without our prior written consent.

	Very truly yours,
