THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of December 24, 2008, by
and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their
respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a
“Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), and
OMNITURE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).
The parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings
specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.
1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be
construed in accordance with GAAP. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include
the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrower” is used in respect of a financial
covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be
construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided,
however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term
is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in
Article 9 of the Code shall govern.
1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the
singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term
“or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase
“and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be,
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as
the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and
supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations,
amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders,
and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the
same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties,
including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein or in any other
Loan Document to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment
in full in cash (or, in the case of Letters of Credit or Bank Products, providing Letter of Credit
Collateralization) of all Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations
and other than any Bank Product Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank
Product Provider to remain outstanding and that are not required by the provisions of this
Agreement to be repaid or cash collateralized. Any reference herein to any Person shall be
construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained
herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.
1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this
Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
1
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Revolver Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this
Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and
severally) to make advances (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (x) the Letter of Credit Usage and (y) the Bank Product
Reserve at such time, and (ii) the Credit Amount at such time less the sum of (x) Letter of Credit
Usage and (y) the Bank Product Reserve at such time.
(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement.
The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and
payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the
right to establish reserves against the Credit Amount or the Maximum Revolver Amount in such
amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem
necessary or appropriate, including without limitation, the Bank Product Reserve.
2.2 Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing
Date each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and
severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to Borrower in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Amount. The principal of the Term Loan
shall be repaid on the following dates and in the following amounts:
Date | Installment Amount | |||
on the last day of each June, September, December and
March commencing on March 31, 2009 |
$ | 375,000 |
The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan shall
be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of the acceleration
of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. All principal of, interest on, and other
amounts payable in respect of the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations.
2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an
Authorized Person delivered to Agent. Unless Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan
pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00
a.m. (California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the
amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day;
provided, however, that if Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan as to
a requested Borrowing, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California
time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date. At Agent’s
election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give
Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower
agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving
of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect
the validity of the request.
2
(b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as either (i)
the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of
Collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of
the requested Advance does not exceed $5,000,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion,
shall agree to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make
an Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such Advances being
referred to collectively as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date
applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to Borrower’s Designated Account.
Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms
and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be
payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if
Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable
Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto
prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute
Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that
are Base Rate Loans.
(c) Making of Loans.
(i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after
receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the
Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of
the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not
later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s
receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to
Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such
proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, that,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any Lender to
make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if (1) one or more of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the
requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2)
the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. (California time) on the
date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to
Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing,
Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in
immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If
any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds
and if Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on
the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with
interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by
Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such
Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is
not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify
Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent
for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances
composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of
any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender
on any Funding Date.
3
(iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by
Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the
Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender
member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent
that such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if
so directed by Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and
to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to
be re-advanced to Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrower. Subject to
the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account
of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with
respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such
Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect
to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall
have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall
have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro
Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in
respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise
affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender
or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the
performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other
than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a
material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower at its
option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In
connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no
right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of
Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to
have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its
share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an
assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or
penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided, however, that any such assumption of the
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the
Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of
or in relation to such failure to fund.
(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
(i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole
discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Advances to Borrower on behalf of the Lenders that
Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the
Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the
Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this
Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”).
4
(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize
Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is
not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to
Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (A)
after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Credit
Amount by more than $5,000,000, and (B) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding
Revolver Usage (except for and
excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses)
does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the
Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of
the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable
(and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding
amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent
determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value), and the
Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms
of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable
time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount permitted by the
preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolver Commitment objects to the
proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment
thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. Each Lender
with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section
2.3(e) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by
Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this
Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of
interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.
(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder,
except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and,
prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent
solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand,
secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate
applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of this
Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and
are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way.
(e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by
the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such
agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall
not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing
Loans, and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the
following provisions:
(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis,
or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect
to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective
Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received,
as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission,
of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement
being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary
statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances for the
period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein
(including Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including
Swing Loans and Protective Advances) exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances
(including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no
later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available
funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each
such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share
of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of
the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such
Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in
immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall,
upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances
(including Swing Loans and Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause
(z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Protective Advances and, together with
the portion of such Swing Loans or Protective Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share
thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to
Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms
hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender
together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
5
(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective
Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances,
Swing Loans, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant
Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent
with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders
hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.
(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective Advances or Swing Loans are
outstanding, may pay over to Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments
received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the
reduction of the Advances, for application to the Protective Advances or Swing Loans. Between
Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may
pay over to Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of
Borrower or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have
been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as
provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the
Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such
Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such
Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates,
Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each
Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to
the Advances other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the
applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by
Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.
(f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing
the principal amount of the Advances (and portion of the Term Loan, as applicable), owing to each
Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Protective Advances owing to Agent,
and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest
error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.
(g) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Protective
Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor
shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any
other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.
2.4 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.
(a) Payments by Borrower.
(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to
Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available
funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment
received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to have been received on the
following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such
following Business Day.
6
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may
assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when
due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender,
together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount
is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
(b) Apportionment and Application.
(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise
provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments shall be
apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations
to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses (other
than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among the
Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee
or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by Borrower shall be remitted to Agent and
all (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv)) such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received
by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to
reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the
Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
(ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as
otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all
proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows:
(A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements)
or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,
(B) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent under the Loan Documents
until paid in full,
(C) third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective Advances until paid in
full,
(D) fourth, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances until paid in full,
(E) fifth, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense
reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid
in full,
(F) sixth, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under
the Loan Documents until paid in full,
(G) seventh, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Advances (other than
Protective Advances), the Swing Loans, and the Term Loan until paid in full,
7
(H) eighth, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full,
(ii) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (iii) to Agent, to be held by Agent,
for the benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a share of the Risk Participation
Liability, as cash collateral in an amount up to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, (iv) to Agent,
to be held by Agent, for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an amount
up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve established prior to the occurrence of, and not in
contemplation of, the subject Event of Default, and (v) to pay the outstanding principal balance of
the Term Loan (in the inverse order of the maturity of the installments due thereunder) until the
Term Loan is paid in full,
(I) ninth, to pay any other Obligations, and
(J) tenth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person
entitled thereto under applicable law.
(iii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire
instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive,
subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e).
(iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing,
Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by
Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(v) For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all
amounts owing under the Loan Documents, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees,
interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any
of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency
Proceeding.
(vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section
2.4 and any other provision contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible,
to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot
be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and
govern.
(c) Reduction of Commitments.
(i) Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
Borrower may reduce the Revolver Commitments to an amount not less than the greater of (x) the sum
of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Advances not yet
made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the
amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and (y) $10,000,000. Each such reduction made pursuant to
this Section 2.4(c) shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $5,000,000,
shall be made by providing not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to Agent and shall be
irrevocable. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of
the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(ii) Term Loan Commitments. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the
Term Loan.
8
(d) Optional Prepayments.
(i) Advances. Borrower may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in whole or in
part.
(ii) Term Loan. Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to Agent,
prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.4(d)(ii) shall (A) be made in an amount which is an integral multiple of
$1,500,000 and (B) be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on
the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of
principal due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any
amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
(e) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Credit Amount. If, at any time, (A) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the
Term Loan on such date plus the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds (B) the Credit Amount (such
excess being referred to as the “Credit Amount Excess”), then Borrower shall immediately
prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an aggregate amount equal to
the Credit Amount Excess.
(ii) Dispositions. Within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt by Borrower or any Loan
Party of the Net Cash Proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by Borrower or
any Loan Party of assets (including casualty losses or condemnations but excluding sales or
dispositions which qualify as Permitted Dispositions under clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (i), (l), or
(m) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions), Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100%
of such Net Cash Proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by
such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions; provided that, so long as (A) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, (B) Borrower shall have given
Agent prior written notice of Borrower’s or the applicable Loan Party’s intention to apply such
monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or
disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of
Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, (C) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Agent
has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) Borrower or the applicable Loan Party
completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within 180 days (or 270 days if a binding
contract for such replacement, purchase, or construction has been entered into by Borrower or the
applicable Loan Party within 180 days) after the initial receipt of such monies, Borrower or the
applicable Loan Party shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the
assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition unless and to the extent that such
applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase or construction being made
or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to
Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii). Nothing contained in this
Section 2.4(e)(ii) shall permit Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise
dispose of any assets other than in accordance with Section 6.4.
(iii) Extraordinary Receipts. Within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt by Borrower or
any Loan Party of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 50%
of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such
Extraordinary Receipts.
(iv) Indebtedness. Within 1 Business Day of the date of incurrence by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such
incurrence. The
provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(iv) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any
such incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
9
(v) Equity. Within 1 Business Day of the date of the issuance by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any shares of its or their Stock (other than (A) in the event that Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries forms any Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof, the issuance by such
Subsidiary of Stock to Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, (B) the issuance of Stock of
Borrower to directors, officers, consultants, and employees of Borrower pursuant to stock option
plans (or other employee incentive plans or other compensation arrangements) approved by the Board
of Directors, and (C) the issuance of Stock of Borrower in order to finance the purchase
consideration (or a portion thereof) in connection with a Permitted Acquisition), Borrower shall
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in
connection with such issuance. The provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(v) shall not be
deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
(f) Application of Payments.
(i) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i) shall, (A) so long as no Application
Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount
of the Advances until paid in full, second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan
until paid in full, and third, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to
105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred
and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). Each such
prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the
Term Loan on a pro rata basis (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on
the Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
(ii) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iii),
2.4(e)(iv), or 2.4(e)(v) above shall (A) so long as no Application Event shall have
occurred and be continuing, be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan until
paid in full, with any remaining amounts to be paid to Borrower, and (B) if an Application Event
shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section
2.4(b)(ii). Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining
installments of principal of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis (for the avoidance of doubt, any
amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in foregoing provisions of this Section
2.4(f)(ii), any prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iii),
or 2.4(e)(v) above, shall be applied first to the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan that is made up of Base Rate Loans and then to the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan that is made up of LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, however, that any such
prepayments that would be applied to LIBOR Rate Loans under clause (A) of this Section
2.4(f)(ii) may, at the option of Borrower, be held by Agent to cash collateralize the
Obligations and applied by Agent to prepayment of such LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of their
Interest Periods.
2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed
by Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.11 is greater
than any of the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.11, as applicable
(an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such
excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). Borrower promises to pay the Obligations
(including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full on the Maturity Date
or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
2.6 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for
undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the
Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as
follows:
10
(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR
Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and
(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.
(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), a
Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in
Section 2.11(e)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate Margin
times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and
at the election of the Required Lenders,
(i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product
Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear
interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the
per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and
(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased to 2
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
(d) Payment. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or Section
2.12(a), interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and
payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are
outstanding. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower,
to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all Lender Group Expenses (as and when
incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.11(e) (as
and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when
accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document
(including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products)
to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue
interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. Any interest not paid
when due shall be compounded by being charged to the Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute
Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base
Rate Loans.
(e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed
on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time
hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately
shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or
rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the
highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated
within it; provided, however, that,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest
or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of
the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as
allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever
received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such
excess.
11
2.7 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be
considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately
available federal funds made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is
honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for
payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be
calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment
item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent’s Account on a
Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into the
Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it
shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day.
2.8 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan,
and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon
telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or,
without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and
maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the
proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Advance, Protective Advance, or Swing Loan requested by
Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
2.9 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain an
account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be
charged with the Term Loan, all Advances (including Protective Advances and Swing Loans) made by
Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit
issued by Issuing Lender for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued
interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7,
the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for
Borrower’s account. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower,
including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses
constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower
and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such
statements.
2.10 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent,
(a) for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter,
the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
(b) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Revolver Commitments, on the first day of
each month from and after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff
Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.375% per annum times the
result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver
Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof).
2.11 Letters of Credit.
12
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue
letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, an “L/C”) or to purchase
participations or execute indemnities, guarantees, or reimbursement obligations (each such
undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of credit issued by an
Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Xxxxx Fargo)
for the account of Borrower. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the
amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by
an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender and Agent via hand delivery,
telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested
date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its Permitted Discretion and shall
specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or the beneficiary of the Underlying Letter of Credit,
as applicable), and (v) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or
extension, identification of the outstanding Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or
extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the Issuing Lender, Borrower also shall be an applicant under the application with
respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The
Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would
result after giving effect to the issuance of such requested Letter of Credit:
(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Credit Amount less the sum of (A) the Bank
Product Reserve, and (B) the outstanding amount of Advances, or
(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $7,500,000, or
(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (A)
the Bank Product Reserve, and (B) the outstanding amount of Advances.
Borrower and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit
may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date,
including the SVB Letter of Credit. Borrower and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that the
Existing WFB Letter of Credit shall for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents be deemed to be an Underlying Letter of Credit for which Issuing Lender has issued an L/C
Undertaking. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in
form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion),
including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If
Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse
such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement
not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if
Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00
a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to
such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day that
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on
the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately
and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at
the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. To the extent an L/C Disbursement
is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of
any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section
2.11(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their
interests may appear.
13
(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section
2.11(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if
Borrower had requested such Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so
received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have
granted to each Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall
be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation
Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender
agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrower on
the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount
equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be
made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the
failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make
available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the
Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, such Lender shall
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.
(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from
any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender Group
arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that Borrower shall
not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent
that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other
member of the Lender Group. Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and
interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any
L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be
different from Borrower’s own, and Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender Group shall not
be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following
Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require
Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of
claims by Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save,
defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including
reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as
a result of the Lender Group’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost,
expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that neither the Lender Group nor the Issuing Lender shall be responsible for delays,
errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of
Credit.
(d) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing
Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying
Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing
Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter
of Credit and the related application.
(e) Any and all issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender
relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this
Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrower to Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn
amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to
time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions,
drawings, and renewals.
14
(f) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule,
or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction,
request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time
to time in effect (and any successor thereto):
(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect
of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or
(ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition
regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto,
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Lender
Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
receivable in respect thereof by the Lender Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any
time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is
reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts
as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such additional cost or
reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment
in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided that
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any such amounts
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender first demands payment from Borrower
of such amounts; provided further that if an event or circumstance giving rise to
such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to
this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable
detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all of the parties hereto.
2.12 LIBOR Option.
(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based
upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on
all or a portion of the Advances or the Term Loan be charged (whether at the time when made (unless
otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon
continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR
Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations
are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period,
unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then
applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances or
the Term Loan bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.
(b) LIBOR Election.
(i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00
a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest
Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a
permitted portion of the Advances or the Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section
shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline,
or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to
Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day).
Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of
the affected Lenders.
15
(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each
LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against
any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment
of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered
pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of
Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts
that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as
applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.
(iii) Borrower shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time.
Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000.
(c) Conversion. Borrower may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time;
provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid
on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a
result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any
other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or
any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and
hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in
accordance with Section 2.12(b)(ii) above.
(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis
to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining
any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law
occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes
in tax laws (except (1) changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws and (2)
changes in tax laws with respect to any taxes required to be withheld or deducted by Borrower
(which is addressed in clauses (b) through (g) of Section 16)) and changes in the reserve
requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor),
excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of
funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected
Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent
promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from
the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to
furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the
method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with
respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section
2.12(b)(ii)).
(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or
directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time
after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for
such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to
determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed
circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other
Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date
specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such
LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue
interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to
elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or
impractical to do so.
16
(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually
to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
2.13 Capital Requirements.
(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any
law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding
companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s
then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such
entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify
Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender
on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is
determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount
and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon
which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest
error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 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 reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of
such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if
such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline
that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section
2.12(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) (any such Lender, an “Affected
Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a
different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such
designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of
such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower
agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such
Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or
assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s
obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i)
or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due
to such Affected Lender under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable)
may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its
request for such additional amounts under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as
applicable, designate another Lender reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations
owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement
Lender”), such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and
Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the
Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this
Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement.
17

3.1 Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of each
Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder, is subject to the
fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent and each Lender of each of the conditions precedent set
forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of such initial extension of credit by a Lender being
conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent ).
3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of the Lender
Group (or any member thereof) to make any Advances hereunder (or to extend any other credit
hereunder) at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) the representations and warranties of Borrower or its Subsidiaries contained in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except
that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that
already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such
extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date); and
(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof.
3.3 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
December 24, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group,
upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default.
3.4 Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this Agreement, all
Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrower with respect to outstanding
Letters of Credit and including all Bank Product Obligations) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand (including the requirement that Borrower provide (a) Letter of
Credit Collateralization, and (b) Bank Product Collateralization). No termination of this
Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower or its Subsidiaries of their duties,
Obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the Agent’s Liens in the
Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender
Group’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this
Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender
Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated
irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination
statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security

security interests and liens previously filed by Agent with respect to the Obligations.
3.5 Early Termination by Borrower. Borrower has the option, at any time upon 5
Business Days prior written notice to Agent, to terminate this Agreement and terminate the
Commitments hereunder by paying to Agent the Obligations (including (a) providing Letter of Credit
Collateralization with respect to the then existing Letter of Credit Usage, and (b) providing Bank
Product Collateralization with respect to the then existing Bank Products), in full. If Borrower
has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section, then the Commitments
shall terminate and Borrower shall be obligated to make the foregoing payments of the Obligations
on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice, provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may rescind such a termination notice twice
during the term of this Agreement by written notice received by Agent prior to 9:00 a.m.
(California time) on the date set forth as the date of termination in such notice of termination.
18

to continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment,
on or before the date applicable thereto, of each of the conditions subsequent set forth on
Schedule 3.6 (the failure by the Borrower to so perform or cause to be performed
constituting an Event of Default).

and patent applications, and licenses as to which Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is the owner
or is an exclusive licensee (but excluding any (i) off-the-shelf software license agreement, (ii)
open source codes, (iii) end-user agreements with such Loan Party’s customers, partners,
distributors, resellers and end users of such customers, partners, distributers, and resellers);
provided, however, that Borrower may amend Schedule 4.13 to the Disclosure
Letter to add additional intellectual property.
4.14 Leases. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed
possession under all leases material to their business and to which they are parties or under which
they are operating, and, subject to Permitted Protests, all of such material leases are valid and
subsisting and no material default by the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiaries exists under
any of them.
4.15 Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. Set forth on Schedule 4.15 to
the Disclosure Letter (as updated pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreement from time to
time) is a listing of all of the Loan Parties’ and (and upon the request of Agent) their
Subsidiaries’ Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, including, with respect to each bank or
securities intermediary (a) the name and address of such Person, and (b) the account numbers of the
Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts maintained with such Person.
4.16 Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or
on behalf of a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in writing to Agent or any Lender (including all
information contained in the Schedules hereto, in the Disclosure Letter or in the other Loan
Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any
transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a
whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in writing to Agent
or any Lender will be, true and accurate, in all material respects, on the date as of which such
information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to
make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such
time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided. On the Closing
Date, the Closing Date Projections represent, and as of the date on which any other Projections are
delivered to Agent, such additional Projections represent Borrower’s good faith estimate of the
Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries future performance for the periods covered thereby based upon
assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time of the delivery thereof to Agent (it
being understood that such projections and forecasts are subject to uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and
no assurances can be given that such projections or forecasts will be realized).
22
4.17 Material Contracts. Set forth on Schedule 4.17 to the Disclosure Letter
(as updated from time to time) is a reasonably detailed description of the Material Contracts of
each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Borrower may amend
such Schedule 4.17 to add additional Material Contracts so long as such amendment occurs by
written notice to Agent upon the sooner to occur of (i) at the time that Borrower provides its
quarterly financial statements pursuant to Section 5.1, or (ii) at the time that Borrower
requests Advances or L/Cs. Except for matters which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each Material Contract
(other than those that have expired at the end of their normal terms) (a) is in full force and
effect and is binding upon and enforceable against the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiary and,
to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each other Person that is a party thereto in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights
generally, (b) has not been otherwise amended or modified (other than amendments or modifications
permitted by Section 6.7(b)), and (c) is not in default due to the action or inaction of
the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiary.
4.18 Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Loan Party is in compliance, in all
material respects, with the (a) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign
assets control regulations of the Untied States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V,
as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (b) Uniting
and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct
Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001) (the “Patriot Act”). No part of the proceeds of the
loans made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental
official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political
office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct
business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
4.19 Indebtedness. Set forth on Schedule 4.19 to the Disclosure Letter is a
true and complete list of all Indebtedness of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date that is to remain outstanding after the Closing
Date and such Schedule accurately sets forth the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness as
of the Closing Date.
4.20 Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.5, all
tax returns and reports of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them
have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon a Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and upon
their respective assets, income, businesses and franchises that are due and payable have been paid
when due and payable. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have made adequate provision in
accordance with GAAP for all taxes not yet due and payable. Borrower knows of no proposed tax
assessment against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being actively contested by
such Loan Party or such Subsidiary diligently, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings;
provided such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in
conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor. No Loan Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries has ever been a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter”
within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the IRC or within the meaning of Section
6111(c) or Section 6111(d) of the IRC as in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4,
except as would not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Change.
4.21 Margin Stock. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally,
or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the loans made to Borrower
will be used for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation
T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as in effect from time to time.
4.22 Governmental Regulation. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to
regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other
federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which
may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. No Loan Party nor any of
its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered
investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
23
4.23 OFAC. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the
country or list based economic and trade sanctions administered and enforced by OFAC. No Loan
Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, (b) has a more
than 10% of its assets located in Sanctioned Entities, or (c) derives more than 10% of its revenues
from investments in, or transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities. The proceeds
of any Advance or of the Term Loan will not be used to fund any operations in, finance any
investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity.
4.24 Location of Equipment. The Equipment (other than (i) vehicles or Equipment out
for repair, and (ii) other Equipment having value of not more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate) of
the Loan Parties is located only at, or in-transit between, the locations identified on
Schedule 4.24 to the Disclosure Letter (as such Schedule may be updated pursuant to
Section 5.15).
4.25 Excluded Subsidiaries. None of the Excluded Subsidiaries owns or is owed any
Subscription Revenues, or owns any material assets (other than the Stock of its direct
Subsidiaries), or contributes (in the aggregate with all other Excluded Subsidiaries) a material
portion of Borrower’s consolidated net earnings or EBITDA .
5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
Borrower covenants and agrees that, until termination of all of the Commitments and payment in
full of the Obligations, the Loan Parties shall and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to
comply with each of the following:
5.1 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates. Deliver to Agent, with copies to
each Lender, each of the financial statements, reports, and other items set forth on Schedule
5.1 at the times specified therein. In addition, Borrower agrees that no Subsidiary of a Loan
Party will have a fiscal year different from that of Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees to
maintain a system of accounting that enables Borrower to produce financial statements in accordance
with GAAP. Each Loan Party shall also maintain its billing systems/practices as approved by Agent
prior to the Closing Date and shall only make material modifications thereto with notice to Agent.
5.2 Collateral Reporting. Provide Agent (and if so requested by Agent, with copies
for each Lender) with each of the reports set forth on Schedule 5.2 at the times specified
therein.
5.3 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.3, each Loan
Party to, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and
effect its existence (including being in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization) and all
rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to its business.
5.4 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its assets that are
necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition,
ordinary wear, tear, and casualty excepted and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), and
comply with the material provisions of all material leases to which it is a party as lessee, so as
to prevent the loss or forfeiture thereof, unless such provisions are the subject of a Permitted
Protest.
24
5.5 Taxes. Cause all assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against any
Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or in respect of any of its
income, businesses, or franchises to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration
of any extension period, except to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall be
the subject of a Permitted Protest and so long as, in the case of an assessment or tax that has or
may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to
stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such assessment or tax. Borrower will and
will cause each of its Subsidiaries to make timely payment or deposit of all tax payments and
withholding taxes required of it and them by applicable laws, including those laws concerning
F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon
request, furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent indicating that Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have made such payments or deposits. Notwithstanding anything this Section 5.5
to the contrary, the Loan Parties may have an aggregate amount of unpaid or delinquent taxes,
assessments, or other governmental fees or charges outstanding in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$500,000 at any one time.
5.6 Insurance. At Borrower’s expense, maintain insurance respecting each of the Loan
Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire, theft,
explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons
engaged in the same or similar businesses. Borrower also shall maintain (with respect to each of
the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries) business interruption, public liability, and product
liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal
misappropriation. All such policies of insurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance
companies and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by
companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and in any event in amount, adequacy
and scope reasonably satisfactory to Agent. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral
are to be made payable to Agent for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, as their interests may
appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard loss payable endorsement with a standard non
contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Agent
may reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments
to be made under such policies. All certificates of insurance are to be delivered to Agent, with
the loss payable and additional insured endorsement in favor of Agent and shall provide for not
less than 30 days (10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the
exercise of any right of cancellation. If Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Agent may
arrange for such insurance, but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s
part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the
coverage, or the collection of claims. Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss
exceeding $250,000 covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the sole right to file claims
under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be
payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments,
reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or
settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. If no Event of Default exists,
Borrower or the applicable Loan Party shall have the sole right to file claims under any insurance
policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder,
and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other
documents that may
be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such
insurance policies.
5.7 Inspection. Permit Agent and each of its duly authorized representatives or
agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to
examine and make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances, and
accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at such reasonable
times and intervals as Agent may designate and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists,
with reasonable prior notice to Borrower.
5.8 Compliance with Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and
orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

Environmental Liens or post bonds or other financial assurances sufficient to satisfy the
obligations or liability evidenced by such Environmental Liens,

documentation of such compliance which Agent reasonably requests,
(c) promptly notify Agent of any release of a Hazardous Material in any reportable quantity
from or onto property owned or operated by Borrower or its Subsidiaries and take any Remedial
Actions required to xxxxx said release or otherwise to come into compliance with applicable
Environmental Law, and
(d) promptly, but in any event within 5 Business Days of its receipt thereof, provide Agent
with written notice of any of the following: (i) notice that an Environmental Lien has been filed
against any of the real or personal property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (ii) commencement of
any Environmental Action or notice that an Environmental Action will be filed against Borrower or
its Subsidiaries, and (iii) notice of a violation, citation, or other administrative order which
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
5.10 Disclosure Updates. Promptly and in no event later than 5 Business Days after
obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Agent if any written information, exhibit, or report furnished
to the Lender Group contained, at the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which made. The foregoing to the contrary
notwithstanding, any notification pursuant to the foregoing provision will not cure or remedy the
effect of the prior untrue statement of a material fact or omission of any material fact nor shall
any such notification have the effect of amending or modifying this Agreement or any of the
Schedules hereto.
5.11 Formation of Subsidiaries. At the time that any Loan Party forms any direct or
indirect Subsidiary or acquires any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such Loan
Party shall (a) within 10 days of such formation or acquisition cause any such new Subsidiary to
provide to Agent a joinder to the Guaranty and the Security Agreement, together with such other
security documents (including mortgages with respect to any Real Property owned in fee of such new
Subsidiary with a fair market value of at least $250,000), as well as appropriate financing
statements (and with respect to all property subject to a mortgage, fixture filings), all in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (including being sufficient to grant Agent a first
priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired
Subsidiary); provided that the Guaranty, the Security Agreement, and such other security
documents shall not be required to be provided to Agent with respect to any Subsidiary of Borrower
that is a CFC, (b) within 30 days of such formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted
by Agent in its sole discretion) provide to Agent a pledge agreement and appropriate certificates
and powers or financing statements, hypothecating all of the direct or beneficial ownership
interest in such new Subsidiary reasonably satisfactory to Agent; provided that only 65% of
the total outstanding voting Stock of any first tier Subsidiary of Borrower that is a CFC and none
of the total outstanding voting Stock of any other Subsidiary of such CFC shall be required to be
pledged, and (c) within 30 days of such formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted
by Agent in its sole discretion) provide to Agent all other documentation, including one or more
opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which in its opinion is appropriate with
respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above (including
policies of title insurance or other documentation with respect to all Real Property owned in fee
and subject to a mortgage). Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to
this Section 5.11 shall be a Loan Document.
26
5.12 Further Assurances. At any time upon the reasonable request of Agent, execute or
deliver to Agent any and all financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges,
collateral assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, mortgages, deeds of trust, opinions
of counsel, and all other documents (collectively, the “Additional Documents”) that Agent
may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect,
and continue perfected or to better perfect the Agent’s Liens in all of the assets of Borrower and
the Loan Parties (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired, tangible or intangible, real
or personal), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent in any Real Property acquired by
Borrower or the Loan Parties after the Closing Date with a fair market value in excess of $250,000,
and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other
Loan Documents); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Subsidiary of Borrower
that is a CFC. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower authorizes Agent to
execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s ‘s name, as applicable, and
authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall take such actions as
Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guarantied by the
Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Borrower and the Loan Parties and
all of the outstanding Capital Stock of Borrower’s Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained
in the Loan Documents with respect to CFCs).
5.13 Lender Meetings. Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of
Borrower, at the request of Agent or of the Required Lenders and upon reasonable prior notice, hold
a meeting (at a mutually agreeable location and time or, at the option of Agent, by conference
call) with all Lenders who choose to attend such meeting at which meeting shall be reviewed the
financial results of the previous fiscal year and the financial condition of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and the projections presented for the current fiscal year of Borrower.
5.14 Material Contracts. Contemporaneously with the delivery of each Compliance
Certificate pursuant hereto, provide Agent with notice of (a) each Material Contract entered into
since the delivery of the previous Compliance Certificate, and (b) each material amendment or
modification of any Material Contract entered into since the delivery of the previous Compliance
Certificate. Such notice may be in the form of a link to the filed Material Contract or amendment,
as applicable, in Borrower’s filings with the SEC, or, if such Material Contract or amendment has
not been filed, a copy of the same .
5.15 Location of Equipment. Keep each Loan Party’s Equipment (other than (i) vehicles

the aggregate) only at the locations identified on Schedule 4.24 to the Disclosure Letter
and their chief executive offices only at the locations identified on Schedule 4.6(b) to
the Disclosure Letter, provided, however, that Borrower may amend Schedule

such Equipment is moved to such new location or such chief executive office is relocated and so
long as such new location is within the continental United States, and so long as, at the time of
such written notification, Borrower provides Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect
thereto.
5.16 Assignable Material Contracts. Use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that any Material Contract entered into after the Closing Date by Borrower or one of its
Subsidiaries that generates or, by its terms, will generate revenue, permits the assignment of such
agreement (and all rights of Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, thereunder) to Borrower’s
or such Subsidiary’s lenders or an agent for any lenders (and any transferees of such lenders or
such agent, as applicable).

Borrower’s Subsidiaries,
(ii) any Material Contract except to the extent that such amendment, modification, alteration,
increase, or change could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be

interests of the Lenders. Nothing in this Section 6.7(b)(iii) shall permit Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries to make any distributions under such a stockholders rights plan other than as

9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default, Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall, in each case by
written notice to Borrower and in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following on
behalf of the Lender Group:
(a) declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and
(b) declare the Revolver Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolver Commitments shall
immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make Advances and
the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, in addition to the remedies set forth
above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations then outstanding, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender
Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed
an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing
waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice
of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
10.2 The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a)
so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not
in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any
loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any
diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the
Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
34
10.3 Indemnification. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the
Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and
damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all
other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the
enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit
is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in
connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided that Borrower
shall not be
liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) of any Lender (other than WFF)
incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or syndicating the Loan
Documents), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout
with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance
with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than disputes solely between the Lenders), (b) with
respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner
related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous
Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and Costs or
Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing
to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under
this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If
any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an
Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person
receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified
and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL
APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART
ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY
OTHER PERSON.

12. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE.
(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO
THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION,
INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND
THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO
SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
(b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER
PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE AGENT ELECTS TO
BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. BORROWER AND EACH
MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY
HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE
TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 12(b).
(c) BORROWER AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A

GROUP REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY

36
(d) THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT PREFER THAT ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM BE RESOLVED IN
LITIGATION SUBJECT TO A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12(c). IF, HOWEVER,
UNDER THE THEN APPLICABLE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH A PARTY SEEKS TO COMMENCE ANY SUCH
LITIGATION, A PRE-DISPUTE JURY TRIAL WAIVER OF THE TYPE PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12(c) IS
UNENFORCEABLE IN LITIGATION TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR CONTROVERSY UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EACH, A “CLAIM”), THEN, UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST
OF SUCH PARTY, SUCH CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL
BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY A JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
SECTION 12(b), VENUE FOR ANY SUCH REFERENCE PROCEEDING SHALL BE IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURT IN THE COUNTY OR DISTRICT WHERE VENUE IS APPROPRIATE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (THE
"COURT”). THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE
OR FEDERAL JUDGE. IF THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE COURT SHALL APPOINT THE REFEREE.
THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL
LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST

DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS
SECTION 12(d). THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY CLAIM DETERMINED BY REFERENCE PURSUANT TO

13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.
13.1 Assignments and Participations.
(a) With the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent of Borrower shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, and (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a
Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender and with the prior written consent of
Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall
not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate
(other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees
(each an “Assignee”; provided that no Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall be
permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the
other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a
minimum amount (unless waived by the Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not
apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any
Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund
of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders
is at least $5,000,000); provided, however, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i)
written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related
information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Agent by such Lender and
the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in
accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by the Agent, the assigning
Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of
$3,500.
37
(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower)
that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the
required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii)
the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights (except with respect to Section 10.3) and be released from any future obligations
under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall
effect a novation among Borrower, the assigning Lender, and the Assignee; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the
termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15
and Section 17.9(a) of this Agreement.
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation
or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or
the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning
Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent,
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto,
and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of
this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and
delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement
shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The
Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro
tanto.
38
(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions,
or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its
Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the
“Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that
(i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the
Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not
constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the
Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv)
no Lender shall transfer or
grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any
amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of
any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in
which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations
hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan
Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D)
postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant
through such Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or
prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as
if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set
off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating
Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent,
Borrower, the Collections of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect
of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of
decisions by the Lenders among themselves.
(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest
in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all
documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this
Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal
Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
(h) Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each
Lender as the registered owner of the Term Loan (and the principal amount thereof and stated
interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than in
connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Term Loan to
an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly
so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such
assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal
amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration
of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same),
Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if
any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all
payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case
of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of the Term Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender
or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the
assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.
39
(i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a
non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of
all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A Registered
Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part
only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note
shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note,
if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the
Participant Register.
(j) Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its
Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrower from time to time
as Borrower may reasonably request.
13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may
not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written
consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment
by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section
13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval
by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.
14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
14.1 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect
to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and
Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby and
Borrower, do any of the following:
(i) increase the amount of or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender,

credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (except (y) in connection with the waiver of applicability of Section 2.6(c)
(which waiver shall be effective with the written consent of the Required Lenders), and (z) that
any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or a reduction of fees for purposes of
this clause (iii)),
(iv) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or
other action by all Lenders,
(v) other than as permitted by Section 15.11, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of

40
(vii) contractually subordinate any of the Agent’s Liens,
(viii) other than in connection with a merger, liquidation, dissolution or sale of such Person
expressly permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents, release Borrower or any
Guarantor from any obligation for the payment of money or consent to the assignment or transfer by
the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents,
(ix) amend any of the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(i) or (ii) or Section
2.4(e) or (f),
(x) amend Section 13.1(a) to permit a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party to be
permitted to become an Assignee, or
(xi) change the definition of Credit Amount or any of the defined terms (including the
definition of EBITDA) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results
in more credit being made available to Borrower based upon the Credit Amount, but not otherwise, or
the definitions of Maximum Revolver Amount or Term Loan Amount, or change Section 2.1(c).
(b) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive (i) the
definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the written consent of
Agent and Borrower (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Lenders), and (ii) any
provision of Section 15 pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Agent, Borrower, and the
Required Lenders,
(c) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Issuing Lender, or any other rights or
duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written
consent of Issuing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(d) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Swing Lender, or any other rights or
duties of Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written
consent of Swing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(e) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group
among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Borrower.
14.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender.
(a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous
consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders and if such action has received the consent,
authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not all of the Lenders, then Agent, upon at
least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender (a “Holdout
Lender”) that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement with one or more
Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder.
Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement,
which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.
41
(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement
Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender
being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata
Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever.
If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and
Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to
have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender
shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the
Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other
rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances and
to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.
14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise
any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or
any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any
Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated.
No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s
rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement.
Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.
15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and
appoints WFF as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents
on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions
contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 are solely for the
benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and
agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that WFF is merely the
representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as
expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion
with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or
refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent,
Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this
Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices,
ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or
similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of
claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances,
for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive,
apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan
Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems
necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with
respect to the Collateral and the Collections of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and
remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the
Collateral, the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same
as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may
deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers
pursuant to the Loan Documents.
42
15.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
15.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any
Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
15.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other
experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received,
Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall
first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite
Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all of the Lenders.
15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for
the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual
knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or
of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual
knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of
such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its
Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any
such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as it shall deem advisable.
43
15.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons
has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed
to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each
Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and
all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices,
reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent,
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition
or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the
possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group
Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and
fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including
court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors,
consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees
and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral,
whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient
amounts from the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent
for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In
the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each
Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall
indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata
Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such
Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an
Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket
expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred
by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall
survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
44
15.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. WFF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue
letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business
with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though WFF were not Agent
hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender
Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFF or
its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person
party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or
such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the
Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such
confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain),
Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender”
and “Lenders” include WFF in its individual capacity.
15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to
the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice
is waived by Borrower). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be
entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a
successor Agent for the Lenders. If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is
acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate
its resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall
automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit or make Swing Loans.
If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has
materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable
law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent
from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s
appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days
following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
15.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity
interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting,
or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to
any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent
of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that,
pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information
regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit
the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such
circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver
such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any
obligation to provide such information to them.
15.11 Collateral Matters.
45
(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion,
to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies
to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further
inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which
Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at
any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a
lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as
provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without
the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the
Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or
Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such
Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11;
provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document
necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien
without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being
released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower,
including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.
(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or
insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or
to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity,
or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given
Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as
otherwise provided herein.
15.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of
Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request
of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained
with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically
requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the
commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Borrower or
any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of
the Collateral.
(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or
otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for
any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such
distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and
with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately
available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to
the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the
Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of
participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of
the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest
except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the
recovery of the excess payment.
15.13 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent
(and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens
in assets which,
in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by
possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver
possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
46
15.14 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the
Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire
transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent.
Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion
thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.
15.15 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender
Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of
its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
15.16 Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other
Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries
(each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of
Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information
contained in any Report,
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s
personnel,
(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in
a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.9, and
(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any
action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender
may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that
the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s
participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and (ii)
to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a
Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and
other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender
preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or
part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing
that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower or its
Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower or such Subsidiary
to such Lender, and, upon
receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the
extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional
reports or information from Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time,
reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent,
whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably
specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower or such Subsidiary, Agent
promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to
Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each
Lender.
47
15.17 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan
Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its
capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of
Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint)
obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective
Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time
outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer
upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the
business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the
extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability
to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of
the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No
Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to
fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf
in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in
connection with the financing contemplated herein.
16. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be
made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in
the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the next
sentence of this Section 16(a). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to
pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or other Loan Document, including any
amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account
of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable
results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as
possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies
of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise
with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United
States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the
following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:
(i) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States
withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or
Participant,
signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);
48
(ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS
Form W-8BEN;
(iii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this
Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a
United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form
W-8ECI;
(iv) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this
Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as
an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper
attachments); or
(v) a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9,
as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption
from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax.
Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which
would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(d) If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction
other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to
deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only)
any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its
first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to
deliver such forms, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16(d) shall require a
Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including
without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or
successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to
promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation
only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction.
(e) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and
such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or
part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant
agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender
granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial
owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage
amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to
Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount,
such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or
16(d), if applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the
Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth
in this Section 16 with respect thereto, and provided that a Participant shall not be
entitled to any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16 in excess of the amount to
which the Lender granting the participation would have been entitled with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant.
(f) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax,
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from
any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation
required by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 16 are not delivered to Agent
(or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in
the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest
payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
49
(g) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that Agent or Borrower (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the
participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify Agent or Borrower (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the
participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent
and Borrower harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold
the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by
Agent or Borrower (or, in the case of a Participant, by the Lender granting the participation), as
tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or Borrower (or, in the case of a Participant, to the
Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and
expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the
Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation
or replacement of Agent.
(h) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the
extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 16 with
respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such
Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of 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, other than such penalties, interest or other
charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to
Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, this
Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
17.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when
executed by Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages
hereof.
17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for
convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each
Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
17.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein
shall be construed against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or
otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed
and interpreted according
to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and
intentions of all parties hereto.
17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable
from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.
50
17.5 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party
beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference
in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting; it being understood and agreed that the
rights and benefits of such Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of
such Bank Product Provider’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as
more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections,
Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank
Product Provider has notified Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it prior
to such distribution.
17.6 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on
the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No
member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to
any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of
the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan
Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
17.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement
by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also
shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
17.8 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the
Obligations by Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for
any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal
law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to
fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or
transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to
repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the
reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof
that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs,
expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrower or
Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such
Voidable Transfer had never been made.
17.9 Confidentiality.
(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that
material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets,
and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a
confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not
parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors,
and consultants to any member of the Lender Group, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any
member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such
Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information
hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iii) as may be required by
statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (iv) as may be agreed
to in advance by Borrower or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
subpoena or other legal process, (v) as to any such information that is or becomes generally
available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders),
(vi) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under
this Agreement, provided that any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in
writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and (vii) in
connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such
litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
51
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may provide information
concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan
syndication and pricing reporting services.
17.10 Lender Group Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses
promptly after demand therefor by Agent and agrees that its obligations contained in this
Section 17.10 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.
17.11 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot
Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
17.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date
hereof.

3. The Assignee (a) confirms that it has received copies of the Credit Agreement and the other

Re: Compliance Certificate dated .
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as
of December 24, 2008, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages thereof (such
lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to
hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”),
XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the arranger and administrative
agent for the Lenders (“Agent”), and Omniture, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”.) Capitalized terms used in this Compliance Certificate have the meanings set
forth in the Credit Agreement unless specifically defined herein.
Pursuant to Schedule 5.1 of the Credit Agreement, the undersigned officer of Borrower
hereby certifies that:
