ARTICLE 2.

THE TERM LOAN

Section 2.1 Extension of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Lenders agree, severally in accordance with their respective Term Loan Ratios, and not jointly, to extend credit to the Borrower in the form of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount equal to $10,000,000.

(a) The Term Loan. Each Lender agrees, severally in accordance with its Term Loan Ratio and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to lend to the Borrower, on the Agreement Date, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based upon such Lender’s Term Loan Ratio) of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. The Borrower shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loan.

Section 2.2 Manner of Borrowing and Disbursement of the Term Loan.

(a) Disbursement. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s ratable share (based upon such Lender’s Term Loan Ratio) of the Term Loan to be made on the Agreement Date available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Agreement Date. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Term Loan, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 4, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Term Loan available to the Borrower on the Agreement Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Term Loan received by the Administrative Agent to the disbursement account specified in the disbursement letter referred to in Section 4.1(a)(xiv).

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Agreement Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Agreement Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (x) for the first two (2) Business Days, at the Federal Funds Rate for such Business Days, and (y) thereafter, at the Base Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so

repaid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan for purposes of this Agreement and if both such Lender and the Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly relend to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of the Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender. In the event that a Lender for any reason fails or refuses to fund its portion of the Term Loan in violation of this Agreement, then, until such time as such Lender has funded its portion of the Term Loan, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect of the Term Loan, such non-funding Lender shall not (i) have the right to vote regarding any issue on which voting is required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, with respect to any such Lender, the amount of the Term Loan held by such Lender shall not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining “Majority Lenders” hereunder, and (ii) be entitled to receive any payments of principal, interest or fees from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or the other Lenders) in respect of its ratable portion of the Term Loan.

Section 2.3 Interest.

(a) On the Term Loan. Interest on the Term Loan, subject to Section 2.3(b), shall be determined and payable as follows:

(i) Payment of Interest; Rate of Interest. Interest on the Term Loan shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a hypothetical year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month for the prior calendar month, commencing on July 1, 2006. Interest on the Term Loan then outstanding shall also be due and payable (x) on the Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations) and (y) in connection with any prepayment of the Term Loan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(b), interest shall accrue and be payable on the Term Loan (or any portion thereof) at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rate plus 5.00% or (ii) 13.00%, such interest rate to be adjusted monthly on the first day of each calendar month.

(b) Upon Default. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding Obligations shall accrue at the Default Rate. Interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand and in any event on the Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations) and shall accrue until the earliest to occur of (i) waiver of the applicable

Event of Default in accordance with Section 11.12, (ii) agreement by the Majority Lenders to rescind the charging of interest at the Default Rate, or (iii) payment in full of the Obligations. The Lenders shall not be required to (A) accelerate the maturity of the Term Loan or (B) exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents in order to charge interest hereunder at the Default Rate.

(c) Computation of Interest. In computing interest on the Term Loan, the date of making the Term Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if the Term Loan (or any portion thereof) is repaid on the date that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be due with respect to the Term Loan (or such portion thereof).

Section 2.4 Fees.

(a) Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as are set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Early Termination Fee. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Term Loan (or any portion thereof) prior to the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the Agreement Date for any reason, including, without limitation, (i) the acceleration of the Obligations after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the sale of, or casualty or condemnation of, any Collateral or the foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (iii) sale of the Collateral in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (iv) the restructure, reorganization or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization, or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such early termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders, and as compensation for the cost of making the Term Loan available to the Borrower, and not as a penalty, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an early termination fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) equal to the greater of (A) the result (not less than $0) of (y) all interest on the Term Loan that would be payable from the Agreement Date through the date which is twelve (12) months after the Agreement Date, minus (z) amounts actually paid by the Borrower in respect of all such interest through the date of prepayment and (B) one percent (1.00%) of the amount repaid or prepaid. The Early Termination Fee shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with the amount of each Lender’s Term Loan Ratio of the principal amount of $10,000,000.

(c) Computation of Fees. In computing any fees payable under this Section 2.4, the first day of the applicable period shall be included and the date of the payment shall be excluded.

Section 2.5 Prepayment of the Term Loan.

(a) The principal amount of the Term Loan may be repaid in full or in part at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, provided that the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the earlier of demand or the Maturity Date, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.9. Each prepayment or repayment made under this Section 2.5(a) shall include the accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or repaid and any Early Termination Fee payable in accordance with Section 2.4(b). Upon receipt of any notice of repayment or prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof by telephone or telecopy and of such Lender’s portion of the repayment or prepayment. Other than with respect to amounts required to be applied to the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(c) or Section 6.15, repayments or prepayments of principal hereunder shall be in minimum amounts of 1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.6 Repayment.

(a) The Term Loan. All unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(i) In the event that after the Agreement Date, any Borrower Party shall issue any Equity Interests or shall incur any Funded Debt other than Funded Debt permitted under Section 8.1, one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Borrower Party from such issuance or incurrence shall be paid on the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof by such Borrower Party to the Lenders as a mandatory payment of the Term Loan. So long as no Event of Default exists, all such other Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.11(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists, all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.11(b). Amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. Nothing in this Section shall authorize any Borrower Party to incur any Funded Debt except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or to issue any Equity Interests except to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement;

(ii) All Net Cash Proceeds from the sale (other the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) or casualty or condemnation loss of any Collateral or other assets of any Borrower Party shall be paid on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower Parties as a mandatory payment of the Obligations. So long as no Event of Default exists, all Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.11(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing,

if an Event of Default exists, all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.11(b). Amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed; and

(iii) If at any time (i) the sum of (x) the Senior Credit Facility Outstandings, plus (y) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds (ii) the Term Loan Borrowing Base at such time, then the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to such excess;

provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to prepay the Term Loan if (i) the Borrower is required to apply such proceeds to the Senior Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility Agreement and (ii) the Borrower actually applies the payment that would otherwise (without giving effect to this proviso) be required to be applied to the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) to the Senior Credit Facility, and (iii) such payment to the Senior Credit Facility is accompanied by, and the Senior Credit Facility Agent implements and thereafter maintains, a corresponding permanent reserve against the Senior Credit Facility Borrowing Base in an amount equal to at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the amount by which such payments exceed the reduction in the Senior Credit Facility Borrowing Base, if any, caused by the removal of the subject Collateral from the Senior Credit Facility Borrowing Base. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(c) shall permit the disposition of any Collateral or other assets of the Borrower not otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

(d) The Other Obligations. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby promises to pay all Obligations, including, without limitation, the principal amount of the Term Loan, and interest and fees on the foregoing, as the same become due and payable hereunder and, in any event, on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.7 Notes; Loan Accounts.

The records of the Administrative

Agent with respect to such Loan Account shall be conclusive evidence of the Term Loan and accrued interest thereon, absent manifest error.

Section 2.8 Manner of Payment.

(a) When Payments Due.

(i) Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Term Loan, fees, and any other amount owed to any member of the Lender Group under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made not later than 12:00 noon. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon. (Boston, Massachusetts time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute the amount so received in like funds to such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders accordingly.

(ii) If any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

(b) No Deduction.

(i) Any and all payments of principal and interest, or of any fees or indemnity or expense reimbursements by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (the “Borrower Payments”) shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to such Borrower Payments and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any member of the Lender Group by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such member of the Lender Group is organized or conducts business or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities collectively or individually “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any member of the Lender Group hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (A) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions

applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8(b)(i), such member of the Lender Group shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such taxes being “Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Borrower shall indemnify the members of the Lender Group for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes with respect to Borrower Payments paid by such Person, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount shall have been determined and the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a member of the Lender Group or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Administrative Agent or such member, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If any Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Administrative Agent or any member of the Lender Group has received indemnification from the Borrower hereunder shall be finally determined to have been incorrectly or illegally asserted and are refunded to the Administrative Agent or such member, the Administrative Agent or such member, as the case may be, shall promptly forward to the Borrower any such refunded amount (after deduction of any Tax or Other Tax paid or payable by any member of the Lender Group as a result of such refund), not exceeding the increased amount paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8(b).

(iv) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority for which the Administrative Agent or any member of the Lender Group has received indemnification from the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(v) On or prior to the Agreement Date (or, in the case of any Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and

Acceptance, on or prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance), each Lender which is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof (a “Foreign Lender”) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with either (A) two (2) properly executed originals of Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or other documents reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, certifying (1) as to such Foreign Lender’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Documents or (2) that all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Documents are subject to such taxes at a rate reduced to zero by an applicable tax treaty, or (B)(1) a certificate executed by such Lender certifying that such Lender is not a “bank” and that such Lender qualifies for the portfolio interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, and (2) two (2) properly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), in each case, certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Documents. Each such Foreign Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with new forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms delivered by it to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(vi) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to such Foreign Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i) or (b)(iii) above to the extent that (A) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal, state or local withholding tax existed on the date such Foreign Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee, on the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such transferee became a Lender) or, with respect to payments to a new lending office, the date such Foreign Lender designated such new lending office; provided, however, that this clause (A) shall not apply to any Foreign Lender that became a Lender or new lending office that became a new lending office as a result of an assignment or designation made at the request of the Borrower; and provided further, however, that this clause (A) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts, if any, that any member of the Lender Group through a new lending office would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (A)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment or transfer to such member of the Lender Group making the designation of such new lending office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation or (B) the obligation to pay such additional amounts or

such indemnity payments would not have arisen but for a failure by such member of the Lender Group to comply with the provisions of Section 2.8(b)(v) above.

(vii) Nothing contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall require any member of the Lender Group to make available to the Borrower any of its tax returns (or any other information) that it deems confidential or proprietary.

Section 2.9 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.10 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) The Term Loan. The Term Loan from the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Loan Ratios.

(b) Payments. Each payment and prepayment of the principal of the Term Loan and each payment of interest on the Term Loan received from the Borrower shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts thereof outstanding immediately prior to such payment or prepayment (except in cases when a Lender’s right to receive payments is restricted pursuant to Section 2.2(e)). If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Term Loan in excess of its ratable share of the Term Loan under its Aggregate Term Loan Ratio (or in violation of any restriction set forth in Section 2.2(e)), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Term Loan made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery without interest thereon unless the Lender obligated to repay such amount is required to pay interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

received from the Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Term Loan to the extent of such excess.

ARTICLE 3.

GUARANTY

Section 3.1 Guaranty.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, the full and prompt payment of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any interest therein (including, without limitation, interest as provided in this Agreement, accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any insolvency proceedings, whether or not such interest accrues or is recoverable against the Borrower after the filing of such petition for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim in such proceeding), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses if the obligations represented by this Guaranty are collected by law, through an attorney-at-law, or under advice therefrom.

(b) Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other way responsible to the Lender Group, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the Lender Group, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under this Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(c) Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense (other than the defense of payment in cash in full, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, or a defense that such Guarantor’s liability is limited as provided in Section 3.1(g)), set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrower) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lender Group to collect the Obligations or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.

(d) The Lender Group, or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefor or any part thereof

now or hereafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, or (iii) amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 3.1(e), it is understood that the Lender Group, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor, give up, modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as such Person may deem expedient.

(e) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors and the Lender Group that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, and without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Group, or any of them, or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Group, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings between the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Lender Group, on the other hand, or any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.

(f) The Lender Group, or any of them, may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to any Guarantor, at any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor, if the Borrower shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the Administrative Agent may from time to time elect in accordance with this Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in the possession of any member of the Lender Group or under their respective control for any purpose. If and to the extent that any Guarantor makes any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any claim which such Guarantor

may have against the Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Obligations to the satisfaction of the Lender Group.

(g) The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to any Guarantor, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the Lender Group herein. It is the intention of each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent that each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as herein defined). The “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Guarantor, shall mean the maximum amount which could be paid by such Guarantor without rendering this Guaranty void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(h) Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of the Borrower, or of any surety or guarantor (other than the applicable Guarantor) for any Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender Group, or any of them, the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any member of the Lender Group to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, against the Borrower, or any such other guarantor or surety, and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Lender Group of each of the Guarantors.

(i) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably expressly waives, except to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by Applicable Law, the following: (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Obligations, (iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever (other than notices expressly required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party), (iv) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, (v) all rights to enforce any remedy which the Lender Group, or any of them, may have against the Borrower, (vi) until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Borrower for amounts paid hereunder and any benefit of, or right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereinafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations, and (vii) any and all rights under any Applicable Law. If a claim is ever made upon any member of the Lender Group for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (A) any judgment, decree

or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (B) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including the Borrower, then in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and such Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.

(j) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by any member of the Lender Group in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any member of the Lender Group shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by any member of the Lender Group permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender Group, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of the Borrower and the Lender Group, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

(k) This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent makes a demand upon any Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held and bound to the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. All costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under this Guaranty shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed hereby.

(l) Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Lender Group to the Borrower, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.

(m) The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any other Guarantor under any Applicable Law regarding contribution rights among co-obligors or otherwise shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the

obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such rights until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations.

Section 3.2 Special Provisions Applicable to Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) Pursuant to Section 6.21 of this Agreement, any new Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Guaranty Supplement. Upon the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement by such new Domestic Subsidiary, such Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and Borrower Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor or Borrower Party herein. The execution and delivery of any Guaranty Supplement (and any other supplement to any Loan Document delivered in connection therewith) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.

If the Borrower Parties fail to promptly pay any portion thereof when

due, the Lenders may, at their option, but shall not be required to, pay the same directly to the appropriate Person and such amounts shall be borne and paid on demand by the Borrower Parties. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lenders promptly therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Rate provided in this Agreement.

Such Obligations shall be secured by all Collateral and by any and all other collateral, security, assets, reserves, or funds of the Borrower Parties in or coming into the hands or inuring to the benefit of the Lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in the Lenders’ actual possession and loss or damage resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at the Borrower Parties’ sole risk.

Section 6.13 Assignments and Records of Accounts. If so requested by the Administrative Agent following an Event of Default, each Borrower Party shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, formal written assignments of all of the Accounts daily, which shall include all Accounts that have been created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto. Each Borrower Party shall keep accurate and complete records of the Accounts and all payments and collections thereon.

The Administrative Agent has no duty to protect, insure, collect or realize upon the Accounts or preserve rights in them. Each Borrower Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent as such Borrower Party’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to endorse such Borrower Party’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to, the Accounts which come into the Administrative Agent’s possession or under the Administrative Agent’s control as a result of its taking any of the foregoing actions. Additionally, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group,

shall have the right to collect and settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of the Accounts upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, reasonable costs and expenses thereof, including attorney’s fees, to the Borrower.

(b) If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any governmental taxing authority, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of the applicable Borrower Party. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lenders promptly therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Rate provided in this Agreement. The Borrower Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent if any Account includes any tax due to any governmental taxing authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of the Account and shall not be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority that may be due by any Borrower Party by reason of the sale and delivery creating the Account.

(c) Whether or not a Default has occurred, any of the Administrative Agent’s officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of the Lenders, or any designee of the Lenders or the Borrower Parties, to verify the validity, amount or other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. The Borrower Parties shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

Section 6.15 The Blocked Account.

The Borrower Parties shall issue to each such bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox to the Blocked Account maintained at such bank. All amounts which shall be deposited into any Blocked Account shall immediately become the property of and, subject to the SunTrust Intercreditor Agreement, be under the sole dominion and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, and no Borrower Party shall have any right to withdraw such amounts from the Blocked Account. The Borrower Parties shall, at all times prior to the payment in full of the Senior Credit Facility Obligations (including letters of credit that are included therein being cash collateralized) and the termination of the Senior Credit Facility, comply with the blocked account provisions set forth in Section 6.15 of the Senior Credit Facility Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof). After the payment in full of the Senior Credit Facility Obligations (including

letters of credit that are included therein being cash collateralized) and termination of the Senior Credit Facility, the Borrower Parties shall maintain cash management arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects, including, without limitation, the blocked account arrangements described in this Section 6.15. The Borrower Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the funds on deposit in each Blocked Account shall at all times constitute collateral security for all of the Obligations and (ii) the funds on deposit in each such Blocked Account shall be applied as provided the Senior Credit Facility Agreement as in effect on the date hereof or, after the payment in full of the Senior Credit Facility Obligations (including letters of credit that are included therein being cash collateralized) and the termination of the Senior Credit Facility, in a manner satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrower Parties shall take all steps to ensure that all of their Account Debtors and all of their credit card processors forward all items of payment to lockboxes established with the Blocked Account banks. The Borrower Parties shall cause each of their credit card processors to enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Party pursuant to which the applicable Borrower Party shall irrevocably instruct such credit card processor to forward all items of payment owing to the Borrower Parties directly to a Blocked Account.

(c) In the event that any Borrower Party shall at any time receive any remittances of any of the foregoing directly or shall receive any other funds representing proceeds of the Collateral, such Borrower Party shall hold the same as trustee for the Administrative Agent, shall segregate such remittances from its other assets, and shall promptly deposit the same into a Blocked Account. All cash, cash equivalents, checks, notes, drafts or similar items of payment (including, without limitation, from the sale of any assets under Section 8.7(b) or otherwise or constituting insurance or condemnation proceeds) received by any Borrower Party shall be deposited into a Blocked Account promptly upon receipt thereof by such Borrower Party.

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent is a Blocked Account bank, on each Business Day the Administrative Agent shall, without further consent of any Borrower Party but subject to the SunTrust Intercreditor Agreement, withdraw all immediately available funds in such Blocked Account, deposit the same in the Loan Account, and apply the same against the Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 2.11 or, if applicable, Section 2.6(c); provided, however, if on any such date there are no outstanding Obligations or the amount of any such deposit in the Loan Account is in excess of the outstanding Obligations, then at the written request of the Borrower such excess amount shall be directed to any other deposit or investment account maintained by the Borrower so long as such account is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement or other control agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent. With respect to the calculation of interest, the application of such funds to the Obligations shall be deemed made one (1) day after receipt of such funds.

(e) As of the Agreement Date, all bank accounts and investment accounts of the Borrower Parties are listed on Schedule 6.15 and such Schedule designates which such accounts are deposit accounts. No Borrower Party shall open any other deposit account unless the depository bank for such account shall have entered into an agreement with the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of the Blocked Account Agreement.

Section 6.16 Further Assurances. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, each Borrower Party will promptly cure, or cause to be cured, defects in the creation and issuance of any Term Loan Notes and the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents (including this Agreement), resulting from any act or failure to act by any Borrower Party or any employee or officer thereof. Each Borrower Party at its expense will promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all such other and further documents, agreements, and instruments in compliance with or accomplishment of the covenants and agreements of the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents (including this Agreement) or to correct any omissions in the Loan Documents or more fully to state the obligations set out herein or in any of the Loan Documents or to obtain any consents, all as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested provided that such further documents, agreements and instruments do not increase the obligations or diminish the rights of any Borrower under the Loan Documents from the existing covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents (including this Agreement).

ARTICLE 10.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each member of the Lender Group hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any transferee of any of its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its Term Loan irrevocably to appoint and authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such actions as its agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are delegated by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each member of the Lender Group hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which the Administrative Agent is, or is required to be, a party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.2 Interest Holders. The Administrative Agent may treat each Lender, or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.2, as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Term Loan until written notice of transfer, signed by such Lender (or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent) and by the Person designated in such written notice of transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.3 Consultation with Counsel. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in reliance on the advice of such counsel.

Section 10.4 Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any instrument, document, or communication furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that they are valid, effective, and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties, and are what they purport to be.

Section 10.5 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower Parties or

any Affiliates of, or Persons doing business with, the Borrower Parties, as if it were not the Administrative Agent or affiliated with the Administrative Agent and without any obligation to account therefor. The Lenders acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates have other lending and investment relationships with the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates and in the future may enter into additional such relationships.

Section 10.6 Responsibility of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other member of the Lender Group, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default exists unless it has actual knowledge, or has been notified by any Borrower Party, of such fact, or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that a Default exists, and such Lender shall specify in detail the nature thereof in writing. The Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with copies of such documents received from any Borrower Party as such Lender may reasonably request.

Section 10.7 Action by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been instructed by the Majority Lenders to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders, or any of them, in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required by Section 11.12), and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders.

Section 10.8 Notice of Default. In the event that any member of the Lender Group shall acquire actual knowledge, or shall have been notified in writing, of any

Default, such member of the Lender Group shall promptly notify the other members of the Lender Group, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing, and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail to request the Administrative Agent to take action or to assert rights under this Agreement in respect of any Default after their receipt of the notice of any Default from a member of the Lender Group, or shall request inconsistent action with respect to such Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, take such action and assert such rights (other than rights under Article 9) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lender Group, except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such right, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions.

Section 10.9 Responsibility Disclaimed. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever as Administrative Agent:

(a) To any Borrower Party or any other Person or entity as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by or any breach by, any member of the Lender Group of any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(b) To any Lender Group, or any of them, as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, any Borrower Party or any other obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(c) To any Lender Group, or any of them, for any statements, representations, or warranties in this Agreement, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any information provided pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of their Affiliates, employees, representatives, officers and directors (each an “Indemnified Person”) pro rata in accordance with their Term Loan Ratios from and against any and all claims, liabilities, investigations, losses, damages, actions, demands, penalties, judgments, suits, investigations, costs, expenses (including fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel) and disbursements, in each case, of any kind or nature (whether or not an Indemnified Person is a party to any such action, suit or investigation) whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against an Indemnified Person resulting from any breach or alleged breach by the Borrower Parties of any representation or warranty made hereunder, or otherwise in any way relating to or arising out of the Term Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative

Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, the making, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and the Term Loan or any transaction contemplated hereby or any related matters unless, with respect to any of the above, such Indemnified Person is determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted or failed to act with gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 10.10 is for the benefit of each Indemnified Person and shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Borrower Parties under Section 6.18. The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Credit Decision. Each member of the Lender Group represents and warrants to each other member of the Lender Group that:

(a) In making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loan it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower Parties and that it has made an independent credit judgment, and that it has not relied upon information provided by the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates;

(b) So long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower Parties; and

(c) Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.12 Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower if no Event of Default then exists). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be any Lender or a Person organized under the laws of the United States of America, a State or any political subdivision thereof. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties, and obligations of the

retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of Article 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. The Administrative Agent may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel) and the Lenders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Borrower Party, or any of their respective creditors or property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to the Administrative Agent for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.2. Nothing contained in the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting this Agreement, any Term Loan Notes, or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 10.14 Collateral. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to hold all Collateral pledged pursuant to any Loan Document and to act on behalf of the Lender Group, in its own capacity and through other agents appointed by it, under the Security Documents; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not agree to the release of any Collateral except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Lender Group acknowledges that the Term Loan and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Funded Debt, secured by all of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with the UCC, can be perfected by possession. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, subject to the limitations set forth in the Blocked Account Agreements, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Section 10.15 Release of Collateral.

(a) Each Lender hereby directs, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent to release any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group:

(i) against all of the Collateral, upon final and indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations; or

(ii) against any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by the Borrower Parties if such sale or disposition is permitted by Section 8.7 or is otherwise consented to by the requisite Lenders for such release as set forth in Section 11.12, as certified to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in a certificate of an Authorized Signatory.

(b) Each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file or authorize the filing of such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.15 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.15.

(b) All out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of any waiver, amendment, or consent by the Lenders relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with its periodic field audits, a fee of $1,000 per day (as may be increased from time to time by the Administrative Agent), per auditor, plus out-of-pocket expenses for each field audit of a Borrower Party performed by personnel employed by the Administrative Agent, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and allocated costs for services of internal counsel for the Administrative Agent;

(d) All taxes, assessments, general or special, and other charges levied on, or assessed, placed or made against any of the Collateral, any Term Loan Notes or the Obligations.

Section 11.3 Waivers. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by the Lender Group, or any of them, or the Majority Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a

waiver of such right. The Lender Group expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any funding of a request for the Term Loan. In the event the Lenders decide to fund a request for the Term Loan at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not preclude the Lenders from exercising any rights available to the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Lenders or by the Majority Lenders shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing by the Lenders at variance with the terms of the Agreement such as to require further notice by the Lenders of the Lenders’ intent to require strict adherence to the terms of the Agreement in the future. Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of the Lenders, in their discretion, to exercise any rights available to them under this Agreement or under any other agreement, whether or not the Lenders are party, relating to the Borrower.

Section 11.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, except to the extent limited by Applicable Law, at any time that a Default exists, each member of the Lender Group and each subsequent holder of the Obligations is hereby authorized by the Borrower Parties at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, Funded Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured, but not including any amounts held by any member of the Lender Group or any of its Affiliates in any escrow account) and any other Funded Debt at any time held or owing by any member of the Lender Group or any such holder to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower Parties, to any member of the Lender Group or any such holder under this Agreement, any Term Loan Notes and any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, any Term Loan Notes or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lender Group shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the Lender Group shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Term Loan and any Term Loan Notes and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Section 9.2 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Any sums obtained by any member of the Lender Group or by any subsequent holder of the Obligations shall be subject to the application of payments provisions of Article 2.

Section 11.5 Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights

or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s portion of the Term Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent), shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, and (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8(b), 2.9, 6.18, 12.3 and 12.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the Term Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice

100

to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Lender Group shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.12(a)(i) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8(b), 2.9, 6.18, 6.19(c) and 12.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.8(b) as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8(b) or Section 12.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.8(b) as though it were a Lender.

(f) 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 without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

101

Section 11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission of an adobe file format document (also known as a PDF file) shall be deemed an original signature hereto.

Section 11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law (other than the New York General Obligations Law §5-1401), except to the extent otherwise provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 11.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.9 Headings. Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

Section 11.10 Source of Funds. Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Base Rate as a reference rate for the determination of interest on the Term Loan, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrower at interest rates tied to such reference rates.

Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Each Borrower Party represents and warrants to the Lender Group that it has read the provisions of this Section 11.11 and discussed the provisions of this Section 11.11 and the rest of this Loan Agreement with counsel for such Borrower Party, and such Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Group is expressly relying upon such representations and warranties of such Borrower Party (as well as the other representations and warranties of such Borrower Party set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) in entering into this Agreement.

Section 11.12 Amendments and Waivers.

102

(a) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document nor any term hereof or thereof may be amended orally, nor may any provision hereof be waived orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Majority Lenders, or in the case of Loan Documents executed by the Administrative Agent (and not the other members of the Lender Group), signed by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Majority Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, also by the Borrower, except that: (i) the consent of each of the Lenders shall be required for (A) any sale or release of, or the subordination of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in, any material Collateral except in conjunction with sales or transfers of Collateral permitted hereunder or any release of any guarantor of the Obligations, (B) any extensions, postponements or delays of the Maturity Date or the scheduled date of payment of interest or principal or fees, or any reduction of principal (without a corresponding payment with respect thereto), or reduction in the rate of interest or fees due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, (C) any amendment of this Section 11.12 or of the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision of the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; (D) any amendment increasing the principal amount of the Term Loan (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or modification of any of the defined terms contained herein (other than those defined terms specifically addressed in this Section 11.12) shall not constitute a change in the terms of the Term Loan); (E) any amendment increasing the amounts or percentages set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base” and the defined terms used therein; and (F) any amendment to Section 2.11; (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Borrower shall be required for any amendment to Article 10; (iii) the consent of the Guarantors and the Majority Lenders shall be required for any amendment to Article 3; (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent only shall be required to amend Schedule 1(a) to reflect assignments of the Term Loan in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender grants to the Administrative Agent the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan owing to it and any Term Loan Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Term Loan and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if such Lender refuses to execute any amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all of the Lenders and to which the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have agreed. Each Lender agrees that if the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance and other agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment. The Administrative Agent may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any assignee if such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 11.5(b).

103

(c) If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at Administrative Agent’s election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for submission thereof.

Section 11.13 Other Relationships. No relationship created hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of any member of the Lender Group to enter into or maintain business relationships with the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates, beyond the relationships specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.14 Pronouns. The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.

Section 11.15 Disclosure. The Borrower Parties agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to issue press releases regarding the making of the Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.16 Replacement of Lender. In the event that a Replacement Event occurs and is continuing with respect to any Lender, the Borrower may designate another financial institution (such financial institution being herein called a “Replacement Lender”) acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and which is not the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, to purchase the Term Loan owing to such Lender and participations of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or representation or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Term Loan and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, and upon such purchase and substitution, and subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Replacement Lender of documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (pursuant to which such Replacement Lender shall assume the obligations of such original Lender under this Agreement), the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder provided that the obligations of the Borrower to indemnify such Lender with respect to any event occurring or obligations arising before such replacement shall survive such replacement. “Replacement Event” shall mean, with respect to any Lender, (a) the commencement of or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee or liquidator of such Lender, or the declaration by the appropriate regulatory authority that such Lender is insolvent or (b) the making of any claim by any Lender under Section 2.8(b), 12.3 or 12.5, unless the changing of the lending office by such Lender would obviate the need of such Lender to make future claims under such Sections.

Section 11.17 Confidentiality. No member of the Lender Group shall disclose any non-public confidential information regarding the Borrower Parties (“Confidential

104

Information”) to any other Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (i) to such member of the Lender Group’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, to other members of the Lender Group and, as contemplated by Section 11.5, to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (ii) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (iii) to any rating agency when required by it, provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrower Parties received by it from such member of the Lender Group, (iv) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking, and (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.

Section 11.18 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by the Borrower or any Guarantor, or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property, should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group, or any of them, is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group, or any of them, is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, automatically shall be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Section 11.19 Electronic Transmissions. (a) Authorization. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.19(a), each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and each of their Affiliates is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each of the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each of the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(b) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual

105

Obligations executed by Borrower Parties or the members of the Lender Group in connection with the use of such E-System.

(c) Limitation of Liability. All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. Each of the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

Section 12.5 Capital Adequacy.
