(a) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Borrower shall indemnify, save and hold Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, payments made by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall be bound by Agent’s or Issuer’s regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit, although this interpretation may be different from Borrowers’ own interpretation; and, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or of any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit except for Agent’s, any Lender’s, or any Issuer’s willful misconduct.

(b) The Borrowers shall authorize and direct any Issuer of a Letter of Credit to deliver to Agent all related payment/acceptance advices, to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(c) In connection with all Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Agent under this Agreement, each Borrower, during the existence of an Event of Default, hereby appoints Agent, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority (i) to sign and/or endorse each Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, Letter of Credit Applications and acceptances; (ii) to sign each Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through Customs in the name of each Borrower or Agent or Agent’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the

name of each Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in each Borrower’s name or Agent’s, or in the name of Agent’s designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent nor its attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent’s or its attorney’s willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Each Lender, according to its Commitment Percentage, shall to the extent of the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed reimbursement obligations arising from disbursements made or obligations incurred with respect to the Letters of Credit be deemed to have irrevocably purchased an undivided participation in (i) each such unreimbursed reimbursement obligation, (ii) Agent’s credit support enhancement provided to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit and (iii) each Revolving Advance made as a consequence of the issuance of a Letter of Credit and all disbursements thereunder. In the event that at the time a disbursement is made the unpaid balance of Revolving Advances exceeds or would exceed, with the making of such disbursement, the amount permitted under Section 2.1(a), and such disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrowers within two (2) Business Days, upon Agent’s demand each Lender shall pay to Agent such Lender’s proportionate share of such unreimbursed disbursement together with such Lender’s proportionate share of Agent’s unreimbursed costs and expenses relating to such unreimbursed disbursement. Upon receipt by Agent of a repayment from the Borrowers of any amount disbursed by Agent for which Agent had already been reimbursed by Lenders, Agent shall deliver to each Lender that Lender’s pro rata share of such repayment. Each Lender’s participation commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letters of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled and (C) Agent, Issuer and all Persons (other than the Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.12. Additional Payments/Protective Advances.

Any sums expended (a) by Agent or any Lender due to any Loan Party’s failure to perform or comply with its Obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, or (b) by Agent to protect the Collateral or enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or any portion thereof (as determined by Agent in its sole discretion) may, at the sole discretion of Agent, be charged to the Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance (regardless of whether or not the conditions specified in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance have been satisfied, including, without limitation, Section 8.2) and added to the Obligations, and each Lender shall be obligated in connection therewith as if such conditions had been satisfied (including, without limitation, to fund its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Advances). Such sums charged to the

Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance (collectively, “Protective Advances”), exclusive of amounts advanced pursuant to Section 16.2(d), shall not exceed $3,000,000 without the consent of each of the Lenders.

2.13. Manner of Borrowing and Payment.

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of the principal of the Revolving Advances, shall be applied to the Revolving Advances pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Account, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time), in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.13(a) and 2.13(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date, each or any borrowing of Advances may, in the sole discretion of Agent, be advanced by Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and each payment by the Borrowers on account of Advances shall be applied first to those Advances advanced by Agent. Alternatively, Agent may request that each Lender, and each Lender shall on or before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested borrowing date, transfer in immediately available funds to Agent its Commitment Percentage of such requested borrowing. On each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (i) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances) exceeds such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall 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 Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances) and (ii) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances) is less than such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances).

(d) A Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate on outstanding Revolving Advances which it has

funded for the periods in which such Revolving Advance was so funded by such Lender. Agent shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate on outstanding Revolving Advances (including Protective Advances) which it has funded for the periods in which such Revolving Advance (including Protective Advances) was so funded by Agent.

(e) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Revolving Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of Lenders; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(g) Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing prior to the making of any Advance, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make (and such Lender unconditionally shall be obligated to make) such amount available to Agent on or prior to the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Administrative Borrower of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to

Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (g) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from the Borrowers; provided, however, that, Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender.

2.14. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) When any Loan Party sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral, Loan Parties shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent. Such repayments shall be applied to the Advances and shall not reduce the Maximum Advance Amount (except to the extent any prepayment would otherwise be required by the Senior Secured Note Documents), subject to the Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Loan Parties may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year and retain such net proceeds solely to acquire replacement Collateral without making a mandatory prepayment hereunder so long as (1) the fair market value of the acquired Collateral is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Collateral which was sold or otherwise disposed, (2) the acquired Collateral is purchased by the applicable Loan Party within thirty (30) days of the sale or other disposal of the Collateral, (3) the acquired Collateral shall be deemed to be acceptable Collateral by Agent in its reasonable discretion, (4) the acquired Collateral shall be subject to Agent’s first priority security interest created hereunder (unless such Collateral is Excluded Collateral), and (5) until such time as the proceeds are used to acquire such replacement Collateral, at Agent’s option, either (x) such proceeds shall be held by Agent as cash collateral for the Obligations pursuant to terms acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion or (y) such proceeds shall be applied as a repayment of Revolving Advances and a Reserve against loan availability under Section 2.1(a) in the amount of such repayment shall be established. Such cash collateral or loan availability Reserve, as the case may be, shall be released by Agent only in connection with the making of a Revolving Advance to be used by the Borrowers solely for the purposes of funding the acquisition of replacement Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14; provided, however, that, nothing contained herein shall waive or modify any conditions to the making of Revolving Advances or any other provisions of this

Agreement. If a Loan Party fails to meet the conditions set forth above, the Loan Parties hereby authorize Agent and Lenders to apply the proceeds held by Agent as a prepayment of the Advances in the manner set forth above. The provisions of this Section 2.14(a) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale or disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Within 1 Business Day of the date of receipt by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts.

(c) Within 1 Business Day of the date of the issuance by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its or their Stock (other than (i) in the event that any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries forms any Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof, the issuance by such Subsidiary of Stock to a Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, and (ii) the issuance of Stock of VEC to directors, officers and employees of a Borrower and any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to employee stock option plans (or other employee incentive plans or other compensation arrangements) approved by the board of directors of VEC), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received by such Person in connection with such issuance. The provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.11, Agent shall apply the proceeds of any insurance settlements from casualty losses which are received by Agent to the outstanding Advances, subject to the Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.15. Use of Proceeds.

The Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit hereunder only for: (a) payments to each of the Persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by the Borrowers to Agent on or about the Closing Date and (b) costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Other Documents. All other Revolving Advances made or Letters of Credit provided to or for the benefit of the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by the Borrowers only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of the Borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. Further, none of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Advances to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.

2.16. Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (i) has refused (if the refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance or (ii) notifies either Agent or Administrative Borrower that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Default”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.16 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

(b) The obligations of each Lender to make Advances shall continue to be based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable Advances of each Lender pro rata based on their respective Commitment Percentages; provided, that, such amount shall not be applied to any Advances of a Defaulting Lender (and instead shall be applied to the Advances of the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of Advances of any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all Advances then outstanding.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to any Defaulting Lender and, solely for the purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders”, no Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be a Lender or to have either Advances outstanding or a Commitment Percentage.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.16, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which the Borrowers, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, then, from and after the date on which such cure has been so effected, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement.

2.17. Joint and Several Liability.

(a) All Borrowers shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all Obligations, including, without limitation, all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Advances or other proceeds of the Obligations or the manner in which Agent and Lenders account for such Advances or other Obligations on its books and records or for any other reason. The Obligations with respect to Advances made to a Borrower, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, with respect to Advances made to the other Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers. The Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Advances or other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to Agent or Lenders, (iv) the failure by Agent, Lenders or any other Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (v) the election of Agent, Lenders or any other Person in any proceeding instituted under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (“Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of Agent, Lenders or any other Person for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (vii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the other Borrowers. With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Advances, Letters of Credit or other Obligations, each Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy

which Agent, Lenders or any other Person now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent, Lenders or any other Person. Upon any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that none of Agent, Lenders or any other Person shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower(s) or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement.

2.18. Interrelated Businesses.

Loan Parties hereby represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that (a) Borrowers make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrowers share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others; (b) certain of Borrowers render services to or for the benefit of other Borrowers, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrowers of creditors of the other Borrowers and guarantees by Borrowers of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers), and (c) Borrowers have centralized accounting and legal service, common officers and directors and are identified to creditors as a single economic and business enterprise.

2.19. Appointment of Administrative Borrower as Agent for Requesting Advances and Receipts of Advances and Statements.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to request and receive Revolving Advances pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Documents from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Revolving Advances to such bank account of Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Revolving Advances be disbursed directly to an operating account of a Borrower or to any other Person.

(b) Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by the Borrowers to act as the agent of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.19. Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Advances to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of the Borrowers, or the issuance of any Letters of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower or any Guarantor by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower or Guarantor.

(e) No purported termination of the appointment of Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent.

3. INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1. Interest.

Interest on Advances shall be payable to Agent for the benefit of Lenders in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Base Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, in arrears at the end of each Interest Period or, for LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of six months, three months following the commencement of such Interest Period and at the end of such Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding at a rate per annum equal to with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate; it being understood that except as expressly provided herein Letters of Credit shall not accrue interest. Concurrent with any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, the Revolving Interest Rate for Base Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and all other Obligations other than LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Base Rate Loans plus two (2) percentage points per annum and (ii) LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear

interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans plus two (2) percentage points per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”). At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, such Default Rate shall be applied retroactively to commence on the date of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to such Event of Default.

3.2. Letter of Credit Fees; Cash Collateral.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and for so long as any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and (ii) to Agent for the benefit of the Issuer, any and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowers in connection with any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and shall reimburse Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders Agent shall, increase the Letter of Credit Fees by two (2) percentage points per annum. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, such increased Letter of Credit Fee shall be applied retroactively to commence on the first date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Event of Default. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b) (i) At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, at any time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) on the Termination Date, the Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in a non-interest bearing account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five (105) percentage points of the outstanding Letters of Credit and, if requested by Agent, Bank Product Obligations, and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in its discretion, on the Borrowers’ behalf and in the Borrowers’ or Agent’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by the Borrowers, in the amounts required to be made by the Borrowers, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of the Borrowers coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. The Borrowers may not withdraw amounts credited to any such account

except upon payment and performance in full of all Obligations and all Letters of Credit and, if applicable, Bank Product Obligations, have expired or been cancelled.

3.3. Loan Fees.

(a) Unused Line Fee. If, for any month during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances for each day of such month does not equal the Maximum Advance Amount, then the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. Such fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing April 1, 2009.

(b) Servicing Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account (and not for the account of any Lender), a servicing fee in an amount equal to $5,000 per month on the Closing Date and on the fist day of each month thereafter during the Term. The servicing fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c) Closing Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date according to their Commitment Percentages, a closing fee in an amount equal to $115,000 on the Closing Date. The closing fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(d) Success Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account (and not for the account of any Lender), a success fee in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $500,000 and (ii) two and one half (2.5) percentage points of the Maximum Credit then in effect immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (x) a Change of Control (it being understood that a Change of Control is not permitted by this Agreement), (y) the Obligations are paid in full prior to the last day of the Potential Three Year Term (other than after all or any portion of the Obligations have been declared due and payable by the Agent or the Required Lenders, or the Agent or the Required Lenders have terminated or limited the obligation of Lenders to make Advances, each pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof), or (z) the purchase option under Section 16 of the Intercreditor Agreement is exercised. The success fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

3.4. Intentionally Omitted.

3.5. Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the Revolving Interest Rate for Base Rate Loans during such extension.

3.6. Maximum Charges.

In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.7. Increased Costs.

In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where any Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of any Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office);

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of any Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances, then, in any case the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Administrative Borrower and Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.8. Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 for any Interest Period; or

(b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available to Agent or such Lender in the London interbank market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or

(c) the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent or any Lender of funding such LIBOR Rate Loan,

then Agent, on behalf of itself or at the direction of such Lender, shall give the Administrative Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, unless Administrative Borrower shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing (A) shall be cancelled, (B) shall be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period for which LIBOR can be ascertained (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (a) above), (C) shall be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which is available in the London interbank market to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (b) above) or (D) shall be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which does adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (c) above), and (ii) any Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Administrative Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, such Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, (A) shall be continued or converted as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period for which LIBOR can be ascertained (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (a) above), (B) shall be continued or converted as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which is available in the London interbank market to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to

clause (b) above) or (C) shall be continued or converted as a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which does adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (c) above), and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Administrative Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into (A) a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period for which LIBOR can be ascertained (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (a) above), (B) a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which is available in the London interbank market to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (b) above) or (C) a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period which does adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent or such Lender (if such notice is given solely with respect to clause (c) above). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and the Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of Borrowers) shall have no right to convert a Base Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.9. Capital Adequacy.

(a) In the event that any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling any Lender) shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, the Borrowers shall pay upon demand to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.

(b) A certificate of such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) when delivered to Administrative Borrower and Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10. Withholding Taxes.

Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 16.3 hereof, each payment by the Borrowers or the Guarantors under this Agreement or the Other Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than income taxes or similar levies on or incurred by the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdictions in which the Borrowers or Guarantors are domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrowers or Guarantors make any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required (unless and to the extent the same is being contested or disputed by the Borrowers or Guarantors in good faith), the Borrowers or Guarantors, as applicable, shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Agent and each Lender free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrowers and Guarantors shall reimburse the Agent or such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrowers or Guarantors pay any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Agent or Lender on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any such Person and Agent or any Lender with respect to which Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent’s or any Lender’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may without notice to Loan Parties pay such taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding; provided, that, any related tax Lien is stayed and sufficient Reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13 may, at the election of Agent, be charged to the Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to Loan Parties’ credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by Agent.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the UCC and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the Liens granted herein and in the Other Documents and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion, without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Loan Parties at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like at any sale of

Collateral. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Agent shall have the right to use all of each Loan Party’s Intellectual Property and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with (i) Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (ii) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods, in each case without any obligation to compensate any Loan Party therefor.

11.2. Application of Proceeds; Payments.

If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor. If it is determined by an authority of competent jurisdiction that a disposition by Agent did not occur in a commercially reasonably manner, Agent may obtain a deficiency judgment for the difference between the amount of the Obligation and the amount that a commercially reasonable sale would have yielded. Agent will not be considered to have offered to retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations unless Agent has entered into a written agreement with Loan Party to that effect.

11.3. Agent’s Discretion.

Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder.

The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.6. Commercial Reasonableness.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (1) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (2) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Body or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (3) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (4) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (5) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (6) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (7) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (8) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (9) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (10) to disclaim disposition warranties, (11) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (12) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

12. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.1. Waiver of Notice.

Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

12.2. Delay.

No delay or omission on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

12.3. Jury Waiver.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

12.4. Waiver of Counterclaims.

Each Loan Party waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

13. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

13.1. Term.

This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until the earliest of (a) March 13, 2012 (the “Potential Three Year Term”), (b) March 31, 2010, so long as the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes has not been extended past June 30, 2010 in a manner acceptable to Agent, (c) 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes if the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes has been extended to a date later than June 30, 2010 in a manner acceptable to Agent, (d) the acceleration of all Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (e) the date on which this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof or by operation of law (the earliest of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), the “Termination Date”). Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent upon payment in full of the Obligations. In the event the Obligations are paid in full prior to the last day of the Potential Three Year Term (other than any prepayment to the extent such prepayment is financed solely by a refinance in which Burdale is the lead agent and lead lender), or there is an exercise of the purchase option under Section 16 of the Intercreditor Agreement (the date of such payment or exercise, as applicable, hereinafter referred to as the “Early Termination Date”), the Loan Parties shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders an early termination fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) three (3%) percent of the Maximum Credit if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) two (2%) of the Maximum Credit if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date to and including the date immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) one (1%) of the Maximum Credit if the Early Termination Date occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date to and including the Termination Date. The Early Termination Fee shall be fully earned, due and payable as of the date of such prepayment or purchase option exercise, as applicable, and shall not be subject to rebate or proration (except as expressly provided in Section 3.3(d)) upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

13.2. Termination.

The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Loan Party’s, Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations arising or incurred prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof and of the Other Documents shall continue to be fully operative until all such Obligations have been paid in full. The Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that the Borrowers’ Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations of each Loan Party have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit and any other contingent Obligations, each Loan Party shall have furnished Agent and Lenders with cash collateral or an indemnification from a Person that is not an Affiliate of Loan Parties,

satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which it may have under Section 9-513 of the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing office, until all of the Obligations of each Loan Party have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit and any other contingent Obligations which have been asserted or are reasonably anticipated to be asserted, each Loan Party shall have furnished Agent and Lenders with cash collateral or an indemnification from a Person that is not an Affiliate of Loan Parties, satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein and in the Other Documents shall survive termination hereof until all of the Obligations of each Loan Party have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit and any other contingent Obligations, each Loan Party shall have furnished Agent and Lenders with cash collateral or an indemnification from a Person that is not an Affiliate of Loan Parties, satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14. REGARDING AGENT.

14.1. Appointment.

Each Lender hereby designates Burdale to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set in Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(d)), charges and collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including without limitation, collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that, Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or applicable law unless Agent agrees to do so in its sole discretion and is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion with respect thereto.

14.2. Nature of Duties.

Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. None of Agent, any Lender, or any Issuer nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) responsible in any manner

for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents 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 of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not 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 of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of Agent in respect of the Advances shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Issuer or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except to the extent, if any, expressly required in this Agreement. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

(b) Agent may resign (i) on thirty (30) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Administrative Borrower and (ii) at any time following the exercise of the purchase option under Section 16 of the Intercreditor Agreement, and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Loan Parties. If no such successor Agent is appointed at the end of such thirty (30) day period or Agent resigns pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, Agent may designate one of the Lenders as a successor Agent. If no Lender accepts such designation, Required Lenders shall serve as the successor Agent, and Agent shall remain entitled to so resign.

(c) Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14, Section 16.5 and Section 16.10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

14.4. Certain Rights of Agent.

If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

14.5. Reliance.

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, email, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.6. Notice of Default.

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, the institution of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof) as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, 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 (including, without limitation, the institution of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof) as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

100

14.7. Indemnification.

To the extent Agent and/or Issuer, as applicable, is not reimbursed and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent and each Issuer in proportion to its respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent and/or such Issuer in performing its duties hereunder or under any Other Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided, that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the indemnified party’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

14.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.9. Intentionally Omitted.

14.10. Actions in Concert.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and Agent that (a) Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce and exercise all rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents at all times following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, on behalf of itself and all Lenders, subject to the direction of Required Lenders as provided for herein, and (b) no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents (including exercising any rights of setoff or compensation) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders.

101

14.11 Intercreditor Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as a “Senior Facility Creditor” as if such Lender were a signatory thereto and hereby authorizes Agent to enter into, execute and perform the Intercreditor Agreement.

15. GUARANTEE.

15.1. Guaranty.

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

15.2. Waivers.

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (b) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (c) any requirement that Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, and (e) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations by the Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.

15.3. No Defense.

No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

15.4. Guaranty of Payment.

The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 15, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other

102

Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party.

15.5. Liabilities Absolute.

The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrowers or otherwise;

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

(c) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or instrument executed an delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

103

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents.

15.6. Waiver of Notice.

The Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

15.7. Agent’s Discretion.

Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

15.8. Reinstatement.

(a) The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or the respective property of each, or any settlement or

104

compromise of any claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lenders.

(b) Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.

(c) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.

(d) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

(e) All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s and Lenders’ prior right to payment in full of Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent and Lenders. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

(f) Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

105

15.9. Action Upon Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may and upon written request of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party or any other Person, declare any Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the Obligations of each Guarantor. Upon such declaration by Agent, Agent, Lenders and any of their Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisions or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Agent or Lenders to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether or not Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder against any other Loan Party and although such Obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Agent and Lenders hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Agent and Lenders may have. Upon such declaration by Agent, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against any Loan Party (the “Claims”), Agent shall have the full right on the part of Agent in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Agent and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Agent and will pay to Agent forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Loan Party on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Claims be represented by any notes, other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Agent, or if payable to any Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

15.10. Statute of Limitations.

Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Loan Party or others (including any Lenders) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

15.11. Interest.

All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to Base Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances.

106

15.12. Guarantor’s Investigation.

Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of the Loan Parties and of the financial condition of the Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender has made, Agent and Lenders do not hereby make, any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party nor has Agent or any Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Section 15 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Agent or any Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

15.13. Termination.

The provisions of this Section 15 shall remain in effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and irrevocable termination of this Agreement.

16. MISCELLANEOUS.

16.1. Governing Law.

16.2. Entire Understanding; Amendments; Overadvances.

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees of Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party not herein contained or contained in any Other Document executed on or after the Closing Date shall have no force and effect. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing pursuant to clause (b) below. Any Default or Event of Default that occurs hereunder shall continue unless and until expressly waived in writing pursuant to clause (b) below. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Agent and the Required Lenders (or Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), and the Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written amendments and supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by the Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default hereunder or thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that, no such amendment or supplemental agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment Percentage of any Lender without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(ii) increase the Maximum Credit or the Maximum Advance Amount without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(iii) extend the Term or maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any scheduled principal payment or fee payable by the Borrowers to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, without the consent of Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby;

108

(iv) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b) without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(v) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including any sale thereof permitted by this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(vi) change the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of Agent; or

(vii) increase the Advance Rate above the Advance Rate in effect on the Closing Date without the consent of Agent and all Lenders.

Any such amendment or supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such Lender shall not respond or reply to Agent in writing within ten (10) days of delivery of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the matter that was the subject of the request. In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Burdale may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to Burdale or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from the Borrowers. In the event Burdale elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Burdale or to the Designated Lender, Burdale will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Burdale or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Burdale or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing (and in addition to the Agent’s rights to make Protective Advances hereunder), Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the

109

outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Borrowing Base by up to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Borrowing Base for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Borrowing Base was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be “Eligible Accounts” becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than ten percent (10%), Borrowers shall decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess, provided, that, any Event of Default resulting therefrom shall remain in existence. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.

16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders; Taxes; Syndication.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns; except, that, no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons with the consent of Agent (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Transferee”). Each Transferee may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof; provided, that, Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to the Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee, had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder, and in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee. Transferee’s rights under Section 16.2 shall be limited to those items in Section 16.2(b) which require consent of each Lender or affected Lender, as applicable. Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Transferee a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other

110

property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security for the Transferee’s interest in the Advances. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any Participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

(c) Any Lender may with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents to Qualified Assignees (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) a sale, assignment or transfer by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 or (y) a sale, assignment or transfer by any Lender of 100% of its Commitment Percentage and all of its Advances hereunder), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties hereby consent to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may assign all or any portion of the Advances or Notes held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, any payment in respect of such assigned Advances or Notes made by the Borrowers to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in respect to

111

such assigned Advances or Notes to the extent of such payment. No such assignment described in the immediately preceding sentence shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(d) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Advances owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Loan Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment to such Purchasing Lender.

(e) Loan Parties authorize each Lender to disclose to any Transferee or Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing Lender any and all financial and other information in such Lender’s possession concerning Loan Parties which has been delivered to Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with Agent’s or such Lender’s credit evaluation of Loan Parties.

(f) Each Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, and from time to time thereafter if either requested by the Borrowers (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers) or Agent or upon the obsolescence or expiration of any previously delivered form, shall provide Agent and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers) with (i) two (2) original executed copies of a correct and completed Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that payments to such Lender or Participant are not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Participant of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax by reason of the application of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise exempt, (ii) or to the extent permitted by law, as an alternative to form 1001 or 4224, each such Lender or Participant may provide Administrative Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers) and Agent with two original executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal withholding tax pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, together with an annual certificate stating that such Lender or Participant is not a “person” described in Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3) of the Code and (iii) a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W 8 or W 9, as appropriate, or any successor or other form establishing an exemption from

000

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx federal backup withholding tax. Each such Lender further agrees to complete and deliver to Administrative Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers), upon its request, such other forms or other documentation as may be appropriate to minimize any withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement under the laws of any other jurisdiction unless such completion and delivery may in any event be disadvantageous for such Lender. For purposes of this subsection (f), the term “United States” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701 of the Code.

(g) At the request of Agent from time to time both before and after the Closing Date, the Loan Parties will assist Agent in the syndication of the credit facility provided pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Documents. Such assistance shall include, but not be limited to (i) prompt assistance in the preparation of an information memorandum and the verification of the completeness and accuracy of the information and the reasonableness of the projections contained therein, (ii) preparation of offering materials and financial projections by Loan Parties and their advisors, (iii) providing Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by Agent to successfully complete the syndication, (iv) confirmation as to the accuracy and completeness of such offering materials and information and confirmation that management’s projections are based on assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made, and (v) participation of the Loan Parties’ senior management in meetings and conference calls with potential lenders at such times and places as Agent may reasonably request.

16.4. Application of Payments.

Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5. Indemnity.

Each Loan Party shall indemnify Agent, each Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent, such Issuer or any Lender in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to

113

in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent, any Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct of the party being indemnified, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

16.6. Notice.

Any notice or request required to be given hereunder to any Loan Party or to Agent or any Lender shall be in writing (except as expressly provided herein) at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section 16.6.

16.7. Survival.

The obligations of Loan Parties under Sections 2.2(g), 3.7, 3.9, 4.19(h), 14.7, 16.5 and 16.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

16.8. Waiver of Subrogation.

Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

16.9. Severability.

If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

16.10. Expenses.

The Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Agent (and, with respect to clause (a) below, Lenders) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including, without limitation:

(a) reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Agent and, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, by Lenders (i) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any Obligation or effect collection of any Collateral, (ii) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or Other Document, and (iv) in enforcing Agent’s security interest in or Lien on any of the Collateral, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise; and

All reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by Agent in connection with any appraisals of Inventory or other Collateral, field examinations, collateral analysis or monitoring or other business analysis conducted by outside Persons in connection with this Agreement and all related agreements, may be charged to the Borrowers’ Account and shall be part of the Obligations.

16.11. Injunctive Relief.

Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.12. Consequential Damages.

None of Agent, any Issuer, any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Loan Party for special, punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations.

Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or email transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

16.15. Construction.

The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

116

Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (i) to its examiners, affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (ii) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees and Purchasing Lenders, (iii) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Lender, and (iv) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further, that, (A) unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use reasonable efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify Administrative Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers) of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (1) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of Agent, a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (2) pursuant to legal process, and (B) in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Loan Party other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by Agent, any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Agent or such Lender and each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender to share any information delivered to Agent or such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of Agent or such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of Agent or such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of Agent or any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provision of this Section 16.16 as if it were a Lender hereunder.

117
