Except as this Agreement may specifically provide otherwise, all prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the Obligations in inverse order of maturity; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during an Event of Default, all prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.6. The monthly payments required under Schedule 2.1 shall continue in the same amount (for so long as the Term Loan and/or (if applicable) any advance thereunder shall remain outstanding) notwithstanding any partial prepayment, whether mandatory or optional, of the Term Loan.

     Section 2.2 Interest, Interest Calculations and Certain Fees.

     (a) Interest. From and following the Closing Date, the Loans and the other Obligations shall bear interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin, subject to the provisions of Section 10.4 below regarding default rates of interest. Interest on the Loans shall be paid in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest on all other Obligations shall be payable on demand and upon the Termination Date. For purposes of calculating interest, all funds transferred from the Payment Account for application to the Term Loan shall be subject to a two (2) Business Day clearance period.

     (b) Commitment Fee. Contemporaneous with Borrowers’ execution of this Agreement, Borrowers shall pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee in an amount equal to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000). All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date.

     (c) Exit Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders, as compensation for the costs of making funds available to Borrowers under this Agreement an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) calculated in accordance with this subsection and upon the date or dates required under this subsection. The Exit Fee shall be equal to One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000). The Exit Fee shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory). All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed fully accrued and earned as of the Closing Date.

     (d) Prepayment Fee. If any advance under the Term Loan is prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, for any reason (whether by voluntary or mandatory prepayment by Borrowers, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the acceleration of the Term Loan, or otherwise), or if the Term Loan shall become accelerated and due and payable in full, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders, as compensation for the costs of such Lenders making funds available to Borrowers under this Agreement, a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) calculated in accordance with this subsection. If such prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Fee for the Term Loan shall be equal to the amount prepaid multiplied by five percent (5.0%), if such prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, but prior to the second anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Fee for the Term

Credit and Security Agreement

17

Loan shall be equal to the amount prepaid multiplied by two percent (2.0%) and if such prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Fee for the Term Loan shall be equal to the amount prepaid multiplied by one percent (1.0%). Notwithstanding the above, the prepayment fee provided for in this Section 2.2(d) shall not apply to or be assessed upon any prepayment made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(B)(i) (relating to casualty proceeds). All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Borrowers under Sections 2.2(c) and (d) are distinct and separate obligations, and Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the Exit Fee and the Prepayment Fee in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and (d), respectively.

     (e) Audit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, all reasonable fees and expenses in connection with audits and inspections of Borrowers’ books and records, audits, valuations or appraisals of the Collateral, audits of Borrowers’ compliance with applicable Laws and such other matters as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, which shall be due and payable on the later of (i) the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance by Administrative Agent of a written request for payment thereof to Borrowers, or (ii) the tenth (10^th) day following the issuance of such notice; provided, that so long as no Event of Default or Default has occurred, Borrowers shall be liable for such fees and expenses for no more than four (4) such audits in any given calendar year.

     (e) Wire Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, on written demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by Administrative Agent to any other Lender) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers, by Administrative Agent, of proceeds of the Loans made by any Lender to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the depositing for collection, by Administrative Agent, of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Administrative Agent on account of Obligations.

     (f) Late Charges. If payments of principal (other than a final installment of principal upon the Termination Date), interest due on the Obligations, or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents are not timely made and remain overdue for a period of five (5) days, Borrowers, without notice or demand by Administrative Agent, promptly shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional compensation to Administrative Agent in administering the Obligations, an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of each delinquent payment.

     (g) Computation of Interest and Related Fees. All interest and fees under each Financing Document shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding of a Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest. The date of payment of a Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be charged.

     (h) Automated Clearing House Payments. If Administrative Agent so elects, monthly payments of interest and amortization shall be paid to Administrative Agent by Automated Clearing House debit of immediately available funds from the financial institution account designated by Borrower Representative in the Automated Clearing House debit authorization executed by Borrowers or Borrower Representative in connection with this Agreement, and shall be effective upon receipt. Borrowers shall execute any and all forms and documentation necessary from time to time to effectuate such automatic debiting. In no event shall any such payments be refunded to Borrowers.

     Section 2.3 Notes. The portion of the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced, if so requested by such Lender, by one or more promissory notes executed by Borrowers on a joint and several basis (each, a “Note”) in an original principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

     Section 2.4 Reserved.

     Section 2.5 Reserved.

     Section 2.6 General Provisions Regarding Payment; Loan Account.

Credit and Security Agreement

18

     (a) All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received in the Payment Account before noon (Chicago time) on any date shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent on such date, and any payments received in the Payment Account after noon (Chicago time) on any date shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.

     (b) Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon made by each Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Administrative Agent’s books and records at any time shall be conclusive and binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent by each Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under any other Financing Document. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrowers with a monthly statement regarding the Loan Account (but neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Administrative Agent shall fail to provide any such statement). Unless any Borrower notifies Administrative Agent of any objection to any such statement (specifically describing the basis for such objection) within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all respects as to all matters reflected therein, absent manifest error.

     Section 2.7 Maximum Interest. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of Illinois or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. Any such reduction in the principal balance shall be applied to the Obligations owing to Lenders in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of each Lender. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

Section 2.8 Taxes; Capital Adequacy.

     (a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s net income by the jurisdictions

Credit and Security Agreement

19

under which Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Administrative Agent (with a copy to the applicable Lender) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Administrative Agent (and such applicable Lender) for the account of Administrative Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Administrative Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Administrative Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Administrative Agent or such Lender first made written demand therefor.

     (b) If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

     (c) Each Lender that (i) is organized or incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, and (ii)(A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) purports to become an assignee of an interest as a Lender under this Agreement after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “Foreign Lender”) shall execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Administrative Agent one or more (as Borrowers or Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 with respect to United States withholding and income Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph other than as a result of a change in law.

     (d) If any Lender shall determine in its commercially reasonable judgment that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor.

Credit and Security Agreement

20

     (e) If any Lender requires compensation under Section 2.8(d), or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), then, upon the written request of Borrower Representative, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such subsection, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     Section 2.9 Appointment of Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Notices of Borrowing, and giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Financing Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower other than Borrower Representative shall be entitled to take any of the foregoing actions. The proceeds of each Loan made hereunder shall be advanced to or at the direction of Borrower Representative and if not used by Borrower Representative in its business (for the purposes provided in this Agreement) shall be deemed to be immediately advanced by Borrower Representative to the appropriate other Borrower hereunder as an intercompany loan (collectively, “Intercompany Loans”). All proceeds of Collateral of each Borrower received by Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations shall be deemed to be repayments of the Intercompany Loans owing by such Borrower to Borrower Representative. Borrowers shall maintain accurate books and records with respect to all Intercompany Loans and all repayments thereof. Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Financing Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

     Section 2.10 Joint and Several Liability. Borrowers are defined collectively to include all Persons named as one of the Borrowers herein; provided, however, that any references herein to “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein. Each Person so named shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Persons named as the Borrowers herein, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons. Accordingly, each Borrower, individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons named as one of the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the credit facilities actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower. In addition, each entity named as one of the Borrowers herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person named as one of the Borrowers herein as well as all such Persons when taken together. By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 10.1 of this Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person named as one of the Borrowers herein (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.1 of this Agreement as to any Person named as one of the Borrowers herein shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons named as the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole.

     Section 3.14 Compliance with ERISA.

     (a) Each ERISA Plan (and the related trusts and funding agreements) complies in form and in operation with, has been administered in compliance with, and the terms of each ERISA Plan satisfy, the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code in all material respects.

No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in the incurrence by any Credit Party of any material liability, fine or penalty. No Credit Party has incurred liability to the PBGC (other than for current premiums) with respect to any employee Pension Plan. All contributions (if any) have been made on a timely basis to any Multiemployer Plan that are required to be made by any Credit Party or any other member of the Controlled Group under the terms of the plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable Law; no Credit Party nor any member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued, could result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any such plan, and no Credit Party nor any member of the Controlled Group has received any notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the Code, that any such plan is or may be terminated, or that any such plan is or may become insolvent.

All brokerage and finder’s fees, commissions and other expenses payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents have been paid in full by Borrowers contemporaneously with the execution of the Financing Documents and the initial funding of the Loan.

     Section 3.16 Related Transactions. All transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents to be consummated on or prior to the date hereof have been so consummated (including, without limitation, the disbursement and transfer of all funds in connection therewith) in all material respects pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Financing Documents, true and complete copies of which have been delivered to Administrative Agent, and in compliance with all applicable Law, except for such Laws the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Schedule 3.17 sets forth, with respect to each real estate lease agreement to which any Borrower is a party (as a lessee) as of the Closing Date, the address of the subject property, the name and address of the landlord and the annual rental (or, where applicable, a general description of the method of computing the annual rental). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents will not give rise to a right of termination in favor of any party to any Material Contract (other than any Credit Party). All Material Contracts may be terminated by Borrower upon ninety (90) days or sooner.

     Section 3.18 Compliance with Environmental Requirements; No Hazardous Materials.

     Except in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.18:

     (a) no notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order has been issued, no complaint has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation or review is pending, or to such Borrower’s knowledge, threatened to or against any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s real or personal property (now owned or leased or previously owned or leased) by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any (i) alleged violation by any Credit Party of any Environmental Law, (ii) alleged failure by any Credit Party to have any Permits under any Environmental Law or relating to any Hazardous Materials required in connection with the conduct of its business or to comply with the terms and conditions thereof, (iii) generation, treatment, storage, recycling, transportation or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, or (iv) release of Hazardous Materials; and

     (b) no property now owned or leased by any Credit Party and, to the knowledge of each Borrower, no such property previously owned or leased by any Credit Party, on which any Credit Party has generated, stored or disposed of or to which any Credit Party has, directly or indirectly, transported or arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Materials, is listed or, to such Borrower’s knowledge, proposed for listing, on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, or CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or any similar state list or is the subject of federal, state or local enforcement actions or other investigations which may lead to claims against any Credit Party for clean-up costs, remedial work, damage to natural resources or personal injury claims, including, without limitation, claims under CERCLA.

For purposes of this Section 3.18, each Credit Party shall be deemed to include any business or business entity (including a corporation) that is, in whole or in part, a predecessor of such Credit Party.

     Section 3.19 Intellectual Property. Each Credit Party owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use, all Intellectual Property that is material to the condition (financial or other), business or operations of such Credit Party. All Intellectual Property existing as of the Closing Date and registered with any United States or foreign Governmental Authority (including without limitation any and all applications for the registration of any Intellectual Property with any such United States or foreign Governmental Authority) and all licenses under which any Borrower is the licensee of any such registered Intellectual Property (or any such application for the registration of Intellectual Property) owned by another Person are set forth on Schedule 3.19. Such Schedule 3.19 indicates in each case whether such registered Intellectual Property (or application therefor) is owned or licensed by such Credit Party, and in the case of any such licensed registered Intellectual Property (or application therefor), lists the name and address of the licensor and the name and date of the agreement pursuant to which such item of Intellectual Property is licensed and whether or not such license is an exclusive license and indicates whether there are any purported restrictions in such license on the ability to such Credit Party to grant a security interest in and/or to transfer any of its rights as a licensee under such license. Except as indicated on Schedule 3.19, the applicable

Credit and Security Agreement

25

Credit Party is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to each such registered Intellectual Property (or application therefor) purported to be owned by such Borrower, free and clear of any Liens and/or licenses in favor of third parties or agreements or covenants not such xxx third parties for infringement. All Intellectual Property of each Credit Party is fully protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filings or issuances, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrowers are not a party to, nor are bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which any Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts such Borrower from granting a security interest in such Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or other property. To such Borrower’s knowledge, each Credit Party conducts its business without infringement or claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property rights of others and there is no infringement or claim of infringement by others of any Intellectual Property rights of any Credit Party, which infringement or claim of infringement could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.20 Solvency. Each Borrower and each additional Credit Party is Solvent.

     Section 3.21 Full Disclosure. None of the written information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in connection with the Financing Documents after the Closing Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. All financial projections delivered to Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrowers (or their agents) have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein. Such projections represented such Borrower’s good faith estimate as of the date thereof of such Borrower’s future financial performance and such assumptions were believed by such Borrower to be fair and reasonable as of the date thereof in light of business conditions then prevailing; provided, however, that Borrowers can give no assurance that any such projections will be attained.

     Section 3.22 Reserved.

     Section 3.23 Subsidiaries. Borrowers do not own any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

     (b) Upon completion of any Permitted Contest, Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Administrative Agent proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any, following which Administrative Agent shall return the security, if any, deposited with Administrative Agent pursuant to the definition of Permitted Contest.

All such insurance shall be provided by insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders rating reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not be required to maintain such insurance for Collateral that the applicable Borrower determines in good faith is no longer used or useful in the business of such Borrower.

     (d) On or prior to the Closing Date, and at all times thereafter, each Borrower will cause Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, to be named as an additional insured, assignee and loss payee (which shall include, as applicable, identification as mortgagee), as applicable, on each insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 4.4 pursuant to endorsements in form and content acceptable to Administrative Agent.

     (e) In the event any Borrower (i) fails to maintain the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, or (ii) fails to provide Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement and such failure to provide evidence continues for five (5) Business Days, Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) purchase insurance at Borrowers’ expense to protect Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interests in the Collateral and to protect Administrative Agent and Lenders from liability claims relating to the Borrowers’ operations, and the costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in obtaining and paying the premiums on any such insurance shall constitute part of the Obligations for which the Borrowers are jointly and severally liable hereunder and which are secured by the Collateral.

     Section 4.5 Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower will comply with the requirements of all applicable Laws, except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to (a) have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in any Lien upon either (i) a material portion of the assets of any such Person in favor of any Governmental Authority, or (ii) any Accounts.

Each Borrower will keep proper books of record substantially in accordance with GAAP in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities; and will permit at the sole cost of Borrowers (subject, however, to any limitations set forth in Section 2.2(d)), representatives of Administrative Agent and of any Lender (but at such Lender’s expense unless such visit or inspection is made concurrently with Administrative Agent) to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts or copies from any of their respective books and records, to conduct a collateral audit and analysis of their respective operations and the Collateral, to verify the amount and age of the Accounts, the identity and credit of the respective Account Debtors, to review the billing practices of Borrower and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants as often as may reasonably be desired. In the absence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or any Lender exercising any rights pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall give the applicable Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary commercially reasonable prior notice of such exercise. No notice shall be required during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default or any time during which Administrative Agent reasonably believes an Event of Default exists.

     Section 4.8 Estoppel Certificates. After written request by Administrative Agent, and not more than four (4) times during any twelve-month period unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers will within fifteen (15) days and at their expense furnish Administrative Agent with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified (the “Estoppel Certificate”), setting forth (a) the amount of the original principal amount of the Notes, and the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, (b) the rate of interest of the Notes, (c) the date payments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (d) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Obligations, and if any are alleged, the nature thereof, (e) that the Notes and this Agreement have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, and (f) that there has occurred and is then continuing no Default or Event of Default or if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed, and the action being taken to remedy such Default or Event of Default.

     Section 4.10 Hazardous Materials; Remediation.

     (a) If any release or disposal of Hazardous Materials shall occur or shall have occurred on any real property or any other assets of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, such Borrower will cause, or direct the applicable Credit Party to cause, the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Materials and the remediation of such real property or other assets as is necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws and to preserve the value of such real property or other assets.

     Section 4.11 Further Assurances.

     (a) Each Borrower will, at its own cost and expense, cause to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as may from time to time be necessary or as Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purposes of the Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including all such actions to (i) establish, create, preserve, protect and perfect a first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Collateral (including Collateral acquired after the date hereof), and (ii) unless Required Lenders shall agree otherwise in writing, cause all Domestic Subsidiaries of Borrowers to be jointly and severally obligated with the other Borrowers under all covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to repay the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the request of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, following the disclosure by Borrowers on any Compliance Certificate of the acquisition by any Credit Party of any rights under a license as a licensee with respect to any registered Intellectual Property or application for the registration of any Intellectual Property owned by another Person, Borrowers shall execute any documents requested by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to establish, create, preserve, protect and perfect a first priority lien in favor of Administrative Agent, to the extent legally possible, in such Borrower’s rights under such license and shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the written consent of the licensor to the granting in favor of Administrative Agent of a Lien on such Borrower’s rights as licensee under such license.

     (c) As of the Closing Date, no Borrower has any ownership interest in any Chattel Paper, Letter of Credit Rights, Commercial Tort Claims, Instruments, Documents or Investment Property (other than equity interests in any Subsidiaries of such Borrower disclosed on Schedule 3.4), and Borrowers shall give notice to Administrative Agent promptly (but in any event not later than the delivery by Borrowers of the next Compliance Certificate required pursuant to Section 4.1 above) upon the acquisition by any Borrower of any such Chattel Paper, Letter of Credit Rights, Commercial Tort Claims, Instruments, Documents or Investment Property.

          (i) The right to take possession of, send notices regarding, and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process;

Credit and Security Agreement

37

          (ii) The right to (by its own means or with judicial assistance) enter any of Borrowers’ premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or to render it usable or saleable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises in compliance with subsection (iii) below and to take possession of Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to Borrowers’ data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate, without any liability to Borrowers for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrowers shall not resist or interfere with such action (if Borrowers’ books and records are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor or other third party agent, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize such service, contractor or other agent, upon notice by Administrative Agent to such Person that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to deliver to Administrative Agent or its designees such books and records, and to follow Administrative Agent’s instructions with respect to further services to be rendered);

          (iii) The right to require Borrowers at Borrowers’ expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Administrative Agent at any place designated by the Administrative Agent;

          (iv) The right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrowers’ mail to an address designated by Administrative Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower.

          (v) The right to enforce Borrowers’ rights against Account Debtors and other obligors, including, without limitation, (i) the right to collect Accounts directly in Administrative Agent’s own name (as agent for Lenders) and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers, and (ii) the right, in the name of Administrative Agent or any designee of Administrative Agent or Borrowers, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise, including, without limitation, verification of Borrowers’ compliance with applicable Laws. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. Such verification may include contacts between Administrative Agent and applicable federal, state and local regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Borrowers’ affairs, all of which contacts Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize.

     (b) Each Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Administrative Agent without prior notice to Borrowers. At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Administrative Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the Collateral, free from any right of redemption by Borrowers, which right is hereby waived and released. Each Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Administrative Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations.

Credit and Security Agreement

38

execute all applications and certificates in the name of such Borrower and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Collateral; and to do any and every act which such Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

     (d) Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, mask works, rights of use of any name, any other Intellectual Property and advertising matter, and any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Article, Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Administrative Agent’s and each Lender‘s benefit.

     (q) if, substantially concurrent with the closing of the Ithaka Merger Transaction, provided that such closing occurs on or before August 23, 2007, Parent (as defined in the Ithaka Merger Agreement) does not deliver to Administrative Agent (a) the duly executed Ithaka Warrant, (b) an Additional Borrower Joinder Supplement in the form attached to the Side Letter, (c) an Allonge in the form attached to the Side Letter, (d) all control agreements required under the Side Letter, and (e) an opinion letter of Parent’s counsel as required in the Side Letter.

     All cure periods provided for in this Section shall run concurrently with any cure period provided for in any applicable Financing Documents under which the default occurred.

     Section 10.2 Acceleration and Suspension or Termination of Term Loan Commitment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall, if requested by Required Lenders, (a) by notice to Borrower Representative suspend or terminate the Term Loan Commitment and the obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect thereto, in whole or in part (and, if in part, each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced in accordance with its Pro Rata Share), and/or (b) by notice to Borrower Representative declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be, and all or such portion of the Obligations shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same; provided, however, that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) above, without any notice to any Borrower or any other act by Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Term Loan Commitment and the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto shall thereupon immediately and automatically terminate and all of the Obligations shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same.

     Section 10.3 Reserved.

     Section 10.4 Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Required Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are five percent (5%) per annum in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or otherwise in this Agreement, the increased rates of default interest provided for in this section shall be applicable automatically and immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default occurring under Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) above without the necessity of any further affirmative action by any party.

     Section 10.5 Setoff Rights. During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to such Borrower (provided that any failure to provide any such notice shall not impair the validity of the applicable set-off right) (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances held by such Lender or any of such Lender’s Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (b) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender and any of such Lender’s Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations as provided in this Section 10.5.

     Section 10.6 Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by

Credit and Security Agreement

41

Administrative Agent from or on behalf of such Borrower or any other Credit Party of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrowers on the one hand and Administrative Agent and Lenders on the other, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Administrative Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral and any payment after an Event of Default shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender, with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Financing Documents; and fifth, to the Obligations owing to any Eligible Swap Counterparty in respect of any Swap Contracts. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

     Section 10.7 Waivers.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

     (b) Each Borrower for itself and all its successors and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Administrative Agent or any Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in accordance with Section 12.5 below, with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

     (c) To the extent that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing of the Loans or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and Administrative Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including any failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Loans, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve

Credit and Security Agreement

42

as a novation of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loans or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by Administrative Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Administrative Agent’s right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans, nor shall Administrative Agent’s receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party’s default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties owned by Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements securing the Loans have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents.

     (e) Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrowers’ obligations under the Financing Documents. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (acting upon the direction of the Required Lenders), including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loans, Administrative Agent may foreclose all or any part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loans as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Financing Documents as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed Collateral shall remain subject to the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing Documents and not previously recovered.

     (f) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the separate sale of any of the Collateral or require Administrative Agent or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Administrative Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part of the Collateral.

     Section 10.8 Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any Credit Party’s obligations under any Financing Documents, Administrative Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, maintaining any cash management and collection procedure described herein. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Document executed by such Credit Party.

Credit and Security Agreement

43

     Section 10.9 Marshalling. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party, or against or in payment of any of the other Obligations or any other obligation owed to Administrative Agent or Lenders by any Credit Party and each Credit Party hereby waives any such right to marshalling (and by joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Document executed by such Credit Party).

ARTICLE 11 — AGENT

     Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to be such Lender’s agent under and with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to the extent provided for herein and therein and in any separate interlender or agency agreement entered into by Lenders and Administrative Agent in connection herewith and therewith and more specifically (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) to enter into each of the Financing Documents to which such Lender is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Administrative Agent on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, and/or by the terms of any interlender or agency agreement entered into among Administrative Agent and Lenders, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 12.5 below and the other Financing Documents and/or any such interlender or agency agreement, Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party. Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents and/or any such interlender or agency agreement, by or through its agents or employees.

     Section 11.2 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that Administrative Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

     Section 11.3 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender, may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for

Credit and Security Agreement

44

any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

     Section 11.4 Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the Loan Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations, and, to the extent required by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the expiration, termination or cash collateralization (to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent) of all Swap Contracts secured, in whole or in part, by any Collateral; or (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document (it being understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); and (b) release or subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Security Document constituting personal property described in Section 5.6 (it being understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the identification of any personal property described in Section 5.6). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Administrative Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.4.

     Section 11.5 Agency for Perfection. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loan unless instructed to do so by Administrative Agent (except as provided in Section 10.5), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent.

     Section 11.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the retiring Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become immediately effective and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among Borrowers and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (but without any obligation) appoint a successor Administrative Agent. From and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Days’ notice to Borrower Representative and the Lenders, and the delivery to a Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, of all Collateral in the possession of the retiring Administrative Agent, to make its resignation effective immediately. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Administrative Agent and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Administrative Agent.

Credit and Security Agreement

     Section 11.7 Payment and Sharing of Payment.

     (a) Loan Payments. Payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Loan will be settled on the date of receipt if received by Administrative Agent on a Business Day prior to noon (Chicago time) or on the Business Day immediately following the date of receipt if received after noon (Chicago time). All payments of principal, interest and fees (other than fees owed to Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

     (b) Return of Payments.

          (i) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.

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

     (c) Defaulted Lenders. The failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make payment, but neither any other Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document.

     (d) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 11.7, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 10.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation). If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

     Section 11.8 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document, Administrative Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Borrowers’ expense. Administrative Agent is further authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which Administrative Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of,

Credit and Security Agreement

46

repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.8. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.8, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3.

     Section 11.9 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Administrative Agent hereunder.

     Section 11.10 Action by Administrative Agent. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

     Section 11.11 Consultation with Experts. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

     Section 11.12 Right to Request and Act on Instructions. Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3.

     Section 11.13 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

     Section 11.14 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

     Section 11.15 Additional Titled Agents. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loan, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.

     Section 11.16 Reserved.

     Section 11.17 Definitions. As used in this Article 11, the following terms have the following meanings:

     “Additional Titled Agents” has the meaning set forth in Section 11.15.

     “Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of 1/100 of 1%) equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the Business Day next succeeding such day, provided, however, that (a) if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be such rate on such transactions on the next preceding Business Day, and (b) if no such rate is so published on such next preceding Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be the average rate quoted to Administrative Agent on such day on such transactions as determined by Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 12 — MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 12.1 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Financing Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. The provisions of Section 2.8 and Articles 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the payment of the Obligations (both with respect to any Lender and all Lenders collectively) and any termination of this Agreement and any judgment with respect to any Obligations, including any final foreclosure judgment with respect to any Security Document, and no unpaid or unperformed, current or future, Obligations will merge into any such judgment.

     Section 12.2 No Waivers. No failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any reference in any Financing Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any Borrower or any other Credit Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents.

     Section 12.3 Notices.

     (a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of any such Lender who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, in an assignment agreement or in a notice delivered to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent by the assignee Lender forthwith upon such assignment) or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative; provided, however, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by electronic means only in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(b) and (c). Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such

Credit and Security Agreement

48

notice is transmitted to the facsimile number specified by this Section and the sender receives a confirmation of transmission from the sending facsimile machine, or (ii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received or when receipt is refused at the applicable address specified by this Section 12.3(a).

     (b) Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved from time to time by Administrative Agent, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or Borrower Representative may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided, however, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

     Section 12.4 Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 12.5 Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided that

          (i) no such amendment, waiver or other modification that would have the effect of increasing or reducing a Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Amount or Term Loan Commitment Percentage shall be effective as to such Lender without such Lender’s written consent;

          (ii) no such amendment, waiver or modification that would affect the rights and duties of Administrative Agent shall be effective without Administrative Agent’s written consent or signature;

          (iii) no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Loan (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment of principal of any Loan or of interest on any Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges or for any termination of any commitment); (C) change the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder; (D) release all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral, subordinate the Liens of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, or release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations or its Guarantee obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be expressly permitted under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5 or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5; (F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Financing Document or release any Borrower of its payment obligations

It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of the preceding sentence;

          (iv) the provisions of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are subject to the provisions of any interlender or agency agreement among the Lenders and Administrative Agent pursuant to which any Lender may agree to give its consent in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification of the Financing Documents only in the event of the unanimous agreement of all Lenders.

     (b) Without limitation of the provisions of the preceding clause (a), no waiver, amendment or other modification to this Agreement shall, unless signed by each Eligible Swap Counterparty then in existence, modify the provisions of Section 10.6 in any manner adverse to the interests of each such Eligible Swap Counterparty.

     Section 12.6 Assignments; Participations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Assignments.

          (i) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and interest in the Term Loan Commitment, together with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Except as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree, the amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor’s entire interests in the Term Loan Commitment and outstanding Loans; provided, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee as Administrative Agent reasonably shall require. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be liable for the fees and costs associated with assignments by the Lenders of any of their rights and obligations hereunder.

          (ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s percentage interest in the Term Loan Commitment (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the Term Loan Commitment retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.

          (iii) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its offices located in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the

Credit and Security Agreement

50

contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Administrative Agent.

          (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Term Loan Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 12.6(a). Each assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Term Loan Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service (without any cost to the Lender, except for the processing fee referred to in clause (1) above). With the prior approval of each of Administrative Agent and the Borrower, Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.

     (b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 12.5 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 10.5.

     (c) Replacement of Lenders. Within thirty (30) days after: (i) receipt by Administrative Agent of notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 2.8(d), which demand shall not have been revoked, (ii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or 2.8(b), or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have been cured or waived (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being an “Affected Lender”), Administrative Agent may, at its option, notify such Affected Lender of such Person’s intention to obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee. In the event Administrative Agent obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Loans and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.6(a); provided, that (i) Borrowers shall have, as applicable, reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under Sections 2.8 of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment and (ii) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the $3,500 processing fee in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 12.6(a) within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 12.6(c) and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment

Credit and Security Agreement

51

pursuant to this Section 12.6(c), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.6(a), Borrower, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 12.6(c) and Section 12.6(a). Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 12.1.

     (d) Credit Party Assignments. No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of each Lender.

     Section 12.7 Headings. Headings and captions used in the Financing Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto and thereto) are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect.

     Section 12.8 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective businesses identified as such by Borrowers and obtained by Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures for handling information of such nature, except that disclosure of such information may be made (a) to their respective agents, employees, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, insurance industry associations and portfolio management services, (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, and to prospective contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Permitted Swap Contracts permitted hereby, provided, however, that any such Persons shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.8, (c) as required by Law, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection with any litigation, (d) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person, and (e) to a Person that is a trustee, investment advisor, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For the purposes of this Section, “Securitization” shall mean a public or private offering by a Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in part, by the Loans. Confidential information shall include only such information identified as such at the time provided to Administrative Agent and shall not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person through no fault of such Person, or (ii) is disclosed to such Person by a Person other than a Credit Party, provided, however, Administrative Agent does not have actual knowledge that such Person is prohibited from disclosing such information. The obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Section 12.8 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to the date hereof.

     Section 12.9 Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (as defined below), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

     Section 12.10 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE AND EACH OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN CHICAGO, STATE OF ILLINOIS AND IRREVOCABLY

Credit and Security Agreement

     Section 12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

     Section 12.12 Publication; Advertisement.

     (a) Publication. No Credit Party will directly or indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any public disclosure, advertising material, promotional material, press release or interview, any reference to the name, logo or any trademark of any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any reference to this Agreement or the financing evidenced hereby, in any case except (i) as required by Law, subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case the applicable Credit Party shall give such Lender prior written notice of such publication or other disclosure, or (ii) with such Lender’s prior written consent.

In addition, each Credit Party agrees that each Advertising Party may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date. With respect to any of the foregoing, such Advertising Party shall provide Borrowers with an opportunity to review and confer with such Advertising Party regarding the contents of any such tombstone, advertisement or information, as applicable, prior to its submission for publication and, following such review period, such Advertising Party may, from time to time, publish such information in any media form desired by such other Lender (or such Affiliate), until such time that Borrowers shall have requested such Advertising Party cease any such further publication.

This Agreement and the other Financing Documents may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Signatures by facsimile or by email delivery of an electronic version of an executed signature page shall bind the parties hereto.

Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 12.15 Time. Time is of the essence in each Borrower’s and each other Credit Party’s performance under this Agreement and all other Financing Documents.

     Section 12.17 Expenses; Indemnity

     (a) Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable legal, audit and appraisal fees and all other reasonable out-of-pocket charges and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders (including the fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s counsel, advisors and consultants) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, legal review and execution of each of the Financing Documents, including but not limited to UCC and judgment lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-closing UCC and judgment lien searches. In addition, Borrowers shall pay all such fees and expenses associated with any amendments, modifications and terminations to the Financing Documents following closing. If Administrative Agent or any Lender uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes, Borrowers further agree that the Obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Administrative Agent or such Lender for the work performed.

     (b) Borrowers agree to pay all out-of-pocket charges and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent (including the fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s counsel, advisers and consultants) in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the credit facilities provided hereunder and thereunder, the administration, enforcement, protection or preservation of any right or claim of Administrative Agent, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of any Liens of Administrative Agent on the Collateral, or the collection of any amounts due under the Financing Documents, including any such charges and expenses incurred in connection with any “work-out” or with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Credit Party. If Administrative Agent uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes (i.e., for any task in connection with the enforcement, protection or preservation of any right or claim of Administrative Agent and Lenders and the collection of any amounts due under the Financing Documents or in connection with any other purpose mentioned in the foregoing sentence), Borrowers further agree that the Obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Administrative Agent for the work performed.

     (c) Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to defend (with counsel acceptable to Administrative Agent) and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective shareholders, directors, partners, officers, agents and employees (collectively in the singular, “Indemnitee”) from and against any liability, loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for both in-house and outside counsel), claim, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee or in which an Indemnitee may ever be or become involved (whether as a party, witness or otherwise) (a) arising from any Credit Party’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under the Financing Documents, (b) arising from the breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in any Financing Document, (c) arising by reason of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (d) relating to claims of any Person with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, Borrower shall not be liable under this Section 12.17(c) to the extent such loss is solely related to Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligations of Borrowers under this Section 12.17 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. NO INDEMNITEE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO THE BORROWERS OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT,

Credit and Security Agreement

EACH BORROWER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT VENUE AND JURISDICTION SHALL BE PROPER IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ANY COUNTY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS.
