The Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment pursuant to this Note such amounts as are required by applicable law to be deducted or withheld under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or under any other applicable legal requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate tax forms, including IRS Form W-9, from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

ARTICLE 4.

CONVERSION

4.1 Conversion. (a) Optional Conversion. The Holder may, at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon giving written notice to the Borrower, elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, less the Aggregate PIK Amount, into that number of whole Conversion Shares as is determined by dividing (x) such principal amount by (y) the Conversion Price Per Share as in effect on the date the notice of conversion is given. Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, any accrued and unpaid Interest outstanding on the portion of this Note being converted, plus such portion of the Aggregate PIK Amount that has been capitalized on the portion of this Note being converted, at the time of such conversion will become immediately due and payable to the Holder in cash. Any accrued and unpaid Interest on the principal portion of this Note that is not converted shall be due and payable in accordance with the Section 3.2.

(b) Sale or Qualified IPO. Simultaneously with either a Sale of Borrower in which the consideration to be received by or payable to the Holder in respect of the Conversion Shares, assuming the full conversion of the Note, equals or exceeds the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note or a Qualified IPO in which the product of the initial public offering price per share and the number of Conversion Shares equals or exceeds 150% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note (each, a “Conversion Event”), the Borrower will have the right to

compel the Holder to either, at the option of the Holder, exercise its conversion right pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or accept $29,823,926.46 (or such lesser principal amount as may be then outstanding) plus all accrued and unpaid Interest on this Note (whether Cash Interest or the Aggregate PIK Amount) in cash plus any other Obligations then outstanding as payment in full under this Note. The date on which such Conversion Event occurs is sometimes referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”. For purposes of this section, the calculation of consideration will exclude any escrow, holdback, earn-out or other contingent payment, in such amounts as the Borrower or its shareholders can reasonably expect to receive as determined by the Board (including the affirmative vote of at least one Investor Director) in good faith. The Borrower will give notice of a Conversion Event to Holder as herein provided as soon as practicable prior to the Conversion Date, but in no event later than 15 calendar days prior to the Conversion Date. Such notice will specify the Conversion Date, the amount of the consideration that may be issued or paid or the amount of the net proceeds that may be received by the Borrower upon such Conversion Event and that the Borrower is electing to compel the Holder, at the option of the Holder, to either exercise its conversion rights pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or accept $29,823,926.46 (or such lesser principal amount as may be then outstanding) plus all accrued and unpaid Interest (whether Cash Interest or the Aggregate PIK Amount) plus any other Obligations then outstanding as payment in full under this Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Holders Agreement, the Holder will receive its proceeds from the Conversion Event in the same proportions and at the same time as all other Security Holders.

4.2 Reservation. The Borrower will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Conversion Shares, such number of shares of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note into Conversion Shares in full. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note into Conversion Shares, the Borrower will take such action as may, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number as is sufficient for such purpose, including engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Borrower further agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the conversion of the rights represented by this Note will be duly authorized and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, Liens (other than Liens created by Holder), charges and preemptive rights with respect to the issuance thereof, other than restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws or the Security Holders Agreement.

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion; Delivery of Shares. Upon total or partial conversion of this Note, the Holder will surrender the original of this Note, duly endorsed, to the Borrower at its principal office. The Borrower will deliver a certificate or, if requested by the Holder, certificates for Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of this Note as soon as practicable after surrender of this Note for conversion (bearing such legends as may be required in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Borrower), but the Person or Persons to whom such certificates are issuable will be considered the holder of record of the Conversion Shares from the time this Note is surrendered by the Holder. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of this Note is converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a), the Borrower will additionally deliver to the Holder an amended and restated Note, containing an original principal amount equal to that portion of the

then-outstanding principal amount not converted containing the other terms and provisions of this Note and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the conversion of this Note, all rights of the Holder, except the right to receive the Conversion Shares in accordance with this Article 4, will cease as to that portion of the Note so converted and this Note will no longer be deemed to be outstanding as to that portion of the Note so converted.

4.4 Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing fractional shares upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note, the Borrower shall pay cash in an amount equal to the product of the then applicable Conversion Price Per Share and the number of fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable hereunder.

4.5 Taxes on Conversion. The Borrower will pay any and all issue and transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note.

4.6 Security Holders Agreement. This Note is deemed to be a “Convertible Note” for all purposes of the Security Holders Agreement, and the Conversion Shares issued hereunder will be deemed to be shares of “Common Stock” and “Securities” for all purposes of the Security Holders Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.

ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

5.1 Adjustment. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof) and the Conversion Price Per Share therefor are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of any of the following events between the Issue Date and the date that all Obligations hereunder are repaid or this Note is converted into Conversion Shares:

(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc. The Conversion Price Per Share of this Note will be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding Conversion Shares.

(b) Adjustment for Reorganization. Consolidation, Merger. In case of any reorganization, reclassification or similar event involving the Borrower (or of any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the conversion of this Note) after the Issue Date, or in case, after such date, the Borrower (or any such corporation) shall consolidate with or merge with another entity, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger, will be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note, and, in

such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower, including at least one Investor Director) will be made in the application of the provisions in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note. The successor or purchasing corporation in any such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower) will duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto reasonably acceptable to the Holder acknowledging such entity’s obligations under this Note and, in each such case, the terms of the Note will be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger.

(c) Conversion of Stock. In case all the authorized Common Stock of the Borrower is converted, pursuant to the Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation, into other securities or property, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon conversion of this Note at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), will receive, in lieu of the number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Former Number of Conversion Shares”), the stock and other securities and property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had converted this Note with respect to the Former Number of Conversion Shares immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note).

(d) Adjustment of Conversion Price Per Share Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(i) In the event the Borrower will at any time after the date of this Note issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 5.1(d)(iii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price Per Share will be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 x (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions will apply:

(A) “CP2” means the Conversion Price Per Share in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(B) “CP1” means the Conversion Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(C) “A” means the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock computed on a Fully Diluted Basis;

(D) “B” means the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Borrower in respect of such issue by CP1); and

(E) “C” means the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

(ii) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 5.1(d), the consideration received by the Borrower for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock will be computed as set forth in this Section 5.1(d)(ii). Such consideration will (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Borrower, including in the case of Derivative Securities the aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Borrower upon the direct or indirect exercise, conversion or exchange of such Derivative Securities; (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower, including at least one Investor Director; and (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Borrower for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board, including at least one Investor Director.

(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(A) If the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note shall issue any Derivative Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Derivative Securities, then the number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) directly or indirectly issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Derivative Securities, will be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date will have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

(B) If the terms of any Derivative Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price Per Share pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(d)(i), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Derivative Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Derivative Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Derivative Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Borrower upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon

such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price Per Share computed upon the original issue of such Derivative Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) will be readjusted to such Conversion Price Per Share as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Derivative Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause will have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price Per Share to an amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Conversion Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Derivative Security and (2) the Conversion Price Per Share that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Derivative Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(C) If the terms of any Derivative Security, the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price Per Share pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(d)(i) (either because the consideration per share of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price Per Share then in effect, or because such Derivative Security was issued before the date of this Note), are revised after the date of this Note as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Derivative Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Derivative Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Derivative Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Borrower upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Derivative Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 5.1 (d)(iii)(A)) will be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

(D) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Derivative Security, or the consideration payable to the Borrower upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Derivative Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price Per Share provided for in this Section 5.1(d)(iii) will be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments will be treated as provided in Section 5.1(d)(iii)(B) and Section 5.1(d)(iii)(C)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Derivative Security, or the consideration payable to the Borrower upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Derivative Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price Per Share that would result under the terms of this Section 5.1(d)(iii) at the time of such issuance or amendment will instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price Per Share that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

5.2 Adjustment in Connection with Final Determination of actual 2008 EBITDA. Upon the final determination of the Borrower’s Adjusted 2008 EBITDA, calculated in accordance with Annex A, the Conversion Price Per Share will be adjusted in the manner set forth in Annex A (the “Revised Conversion Price Per Share”). The Revised Conversion Price Per Share shall be deemed to have been the Conversion Price Per Share for this Note in effect from the original issuance of this Note, and shall be adjusted as provided herein for Additional Shares of Common Stock and other events occurring after the initial issuance of this Note.

5.3 Certificate of Adjustments. The Borrower will, at its expense, cause an authorized officer promptly to prepare a written certificate showing each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price Per Share or the number of Conversion Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note and cause such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2. The certificate will describe the adjustment or readjustment and include a description in reasonable detail of the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.

5.4 No Change Necessary. The form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price Per Share or in the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon its conversion.

This Note and the other Transaction Documents to which it is party have been duly executed and delivered to the Holder by the Borrower. The Borrower has authorized and taken all action necessary or proper action to reserve for issuance as necessary at all times that number of Conversion Shares necessary for the conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms hereof.

10.3 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Holder or Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law, in equity or otherwise.

10.4 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Holder and the Agent on demand for all costs and expenses, if any (including counsel fees and expenses of the Agent), in connection with the exercise of its rights under Section 9.2.

10.5 Lost or Destroyed Note. Upon receipt by the Borrower of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or, in case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Borrower will issue a new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note.

10.6 No Impairment. The Borrower will not by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note against wrongful impairment; provided that the amendment of the Borrower’s certificate of

incorporation or bylaws shall not be deemed to violate this Section 10.6 so long as the Borrower has obtained the requisite Board and Security Holder approvals as required by Delaware law and the Security Holders Agreement or provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock.

10.7 Usury Savings Clause. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with applicable state and federal usury laws (now or hereafter enacted). Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event (including prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Obligation) will this Note require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If, under any circumstance whatsoever, any provision of this Note provides for the payment or collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws, then, ipso facto, the Obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the Holder will ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or otherwise an amount that would exceed the maximum amount permitted by such laws, such amount that would be excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Holder, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess will be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Holder, under any specified contingency, exceeds the maximum permitted amount, the Borrower and the Holder will, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that interest thereon does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, or (iv) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion will bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.

(b) If at any time the interest rate hereunder (for purposes of this subsection, the “Stated Rate”) exceeds the highest maximum permitted amount, then the rate at which interest accrues hereunder will automatically be limited to the maximum permitted amount, and will remain at the maximum permitted amount until the earlier of (i) the time when total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the total amount of interest that would have accrued but for the operation of this sentence and (ii) the Maturity Date. Thereafter, interest will accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the maximum permitted amount, in which case the immediately preceding sentence will apply.

10.8 Waiver, Etc. The Borrower and each other surety, guarantor, endorser and other party ever liable for payment of this Note or any part hereof jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any Collateral, all without prejudice to the Holder or the Agent. The Holder and the Agent will similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this

Note or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.

10.9 Governing Law. This Note will be governed by, and for all purposes construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

10.10 Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Note will affect any right that the Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Note in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note in any such court. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) The Borrower agrees to not assert any claim against the Holder or the Agent, any of its respective affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, attorneys, agents and advisers, arising under this Note or the Security Documents to the extent such parties comply with their obligations hereunder and under any applicable laws.

10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTIONS OF THE HOLDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.

10.12 Successors and Assigns; Transfer. This Note is binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower will not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights or obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder. Except to the extent permitted by the Security Holders Agreement, the Holder may not assign, participate, pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Borrower. If the Borrower consents to any transfer, upon such transfer the Holder will notify the Borrower and the Borrower (at its expense) will execute and deliver a new promissory note, in substantially the form of this Note, to such Permitted Assign. The Borrower will maintain a registry to reflect any such Transfer on its registry or record books.

10.13 Severability. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.14 Relationship of the Parties. Notwithstanding any business or personal relationship between the Borrower and the Holder, or any officer, director, member, manager or employee of the Holder, that may exist or have existed, the relationship between the Borrower and the Holder under and with respect to this Note is solely that of debtor and creditor, the Holder has no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower by virtue of this Note, the Borrower and the Holder are not partners or joint venturers, and no term or condition of any of this Note will be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Borrower and the Holder to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

10.15 Further Assurances. The Borrower from time to time after the Issue Date at the request of the Holder and without further consideration will execute and deliver further instruments and take such other action as a party may reasonably require to fully implement the provisions of this Note. The Holder from time to time after the Issue Date at the request of the Borrower and without further consideration will execute and deliver further instruments and take such other action as a party may reasonably require and as are customary to fully implement the provisions of Section 8.1.

10.16 Xxxxx Skullcandy Holdings LLC, as Agent. (a) Each Holder, by its acceptance hereof, hereby appoints Xxxxx Skullcandy Holdings LLC as the agent (the “Agent”) under this Note and the Transaction Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Agent thereunder and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have and to act as agent for the Holder under the Transaction Documents.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that any action taken by the Agent at the instruction of the requisite Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, and the exercise by the Agent of the powers set forth herein therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Holders and with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith; (ii) execute and deliver the Note and each Transaction Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) act as collateral agent for the secured parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Note and the Transaction Documents and (vi) exercise all remedies given to the Agent and the other secured parties with respect to the Collateral under the Transaction Documents, applicable law or otherwise.

(c) As to matters not expressly provided for by this Note and the other Transaction Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Holder, and such instructions shall be binding upon the Holder; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Agent believes exposes it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Note or applicable law. The Agent may perform any of its duties under this Note or any Transaction Document by or through its agents or employees. None of the Agent, any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Note in their capacity as Agent, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Holder. Upon any such resignation, the retiring Agent has the right to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of an appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under this Note and the Transaction Documents.

(e) Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Agent and each of its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to the terms of this Note or any Transaction Document) on a proportionate basis from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person relating to the Note or any other Transaction Document; provided, however, in no event will a Holder have any obligation to indemnify the Agent for the fraud, willful misrepresentation or gross negligence of the Agent.

(f) The Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Section 10.16. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Note, the Agent will not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities will be read into this Note or otherwise exist against the Agent. The provisions of this Section 10.16 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Holders and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party will have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Note, the Agent will act solely as agent of the Holders and does not assume and will not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company,

10.17 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
