Annex A to Amendment No. 3

ANNEX A

CONFIDENTIAL

LOAN PURCHASE OFFER PROCEDURES

This Annex A sets forth the procedures, terms and conditions applicable to the Loan Purchase Offer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Annex A have the meanings assigned to them in the Amendment.

(a) In connection with the Amendment, the Borrower has offered to purchase, through one of its Affiliates identified in the Amendment (the “Purchaser”), Loans on a pro rata basis from all Lenders at a discount pursuant to a separate notice to the Lenders dated May 7, 2009 (the “Loan Purchase Notice”), in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment and this Annex A (the “Loan Purchase Offer”).

(b) Each Lender electing to participate in the Loan Purchase Offer (each a “Participating Lender”) must submit to the Administrative Agent a fully completed and executed lender participation notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (Form of Lender Participation Notice) hereto (collectively, a “Participation Notice”), and related assignment and assumption agreements substantially in the forms of Exhibits B and C hereto (each a “Participating Assignment”), no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 11, 2009, subject to extensions as agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (the “Submission Date”), setting forth the aggregate stated principal amount of such Participating Lender’s Revolving Loans and Term Loans (which shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000) to be assigned to the Purchaser in connection with the Loan Purchase Offer (the “Submitted Loans”).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall hold each fully executed Participating Assignment in escrow until executed by the Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and until each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 of the Amendment (other than the purchase of Loans contemplated by Section 2(c) of the Amendment) are satisfied (“Loan Purchase Offer Conditions”); provided that (i) if the Loan Purchase Offer Conditions are not satisfied by May 22, 2009, each Participating Assignment shall, unless extended by the applicable Participating Lender, be void and have no further effect and (ii) Participating Assignments in connection with the over-allotment, if any, described in clause (h) below shall not be released except as described in such clause (h).

(d) Upon satisfaction of the Loan Purchase Offer Conditions on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date:

(i) the Purchaser shall cause to be paid in cash to each Participating Lender an amount equal to (A) 60% of the stated principal amount of Loans set forth in such Lender’s Participation Notice subject to any reductions resulting from Required Allocations pursuant to clause (e) below (the “Purchased Loans”) and (B) accrued interest with respect to the Purchased Loans calculated based on the stated principal amount of such Purchased Loans); and

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall release each Participating Assignment from escrow and give effect to the Participating Assignments as provided in Section 11.2 (Assignments) of the Credit Agreement subject to any Required Allocations (as defined below) pursuant to clause (e) below and subject to clause (h) below. The Administrative Agent may assume that the Purchaser has made each payment required by subclause (i) above unless otherwise notified in writing by the Purchaser or any Participating Lender.

(e) Subject to clause (h) below, the following allocation provisions shall apply to the Loan Purchase Offer (the “Required Allocations”):

(i) the Borrower or the Purchaser shall provide a written calculation to the Administrative Agent of the Net Cash Proceeds to be received from the Required Capital Raise at least 1 Business Day prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; and

(ii) the Purchaser shall only be required to purchase Submitted Loans up to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds from the Required Capital Raise (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount equal to 60% of the aggregate stated principal amount of Submitted Loans from Participating Lenders exceeds the Net Cash Proceeds from the Required Capital Raise, the Submitted Loans of each Participating Lender shall be reduced ratably to the amount necessary for the Maximum Amount of Loans to be purchased at the price set forth in clause (d)(i); provided, however, that any such reduction with respect to any Participating Lender, shall first be applied to Submitted Loans that are Term Loans and then to Submitted Loans that are Revolving Loans.

(f) After the delivery of a Participation Notice by a Lender to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may not withdraw its Participation Notice prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date other than with the consent of the Administrative Agent following the disclosure of material information by the Borrower not previously disclosed regarding (i) any Group Member, (ii) any of the Group Members’ assets, (iii) the ability of any Group Member to perform any of its respective Obligations or (iv) any other matter regarding any Group Member that could reasonably be expected to be material to a decision by any Lender to participate in the Loan Purchase Offer or to execute the Amendment. The Borrower may not change any of the terms of the Loan Purchase Offer as set forth herein other than increasing the price (i.e. the percentage of par) set forth in clause (d)(i) hereof.

(g) To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions set forth herein in any material respect, the Loan Purchase Offer may be consummated pursuant to additional procedures established by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Borrower.

(h) In the event that any additional Convertible Notes are issued pursuant to the exercise of any over-allotment option under the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement within 30 days following the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance shall be applied to the purchase of Submitted Loans to the extent not purchased due to the operation of clause (e)(ii) above. Any such purchase shall be made pursuant to the applicable Participating Assignment pursuant to the procedures set forth in clause (d)(i) and (ii) above. So long as the Participating Assignments are not voided pursuant to the proviso of clause (c) hereof Administrative Agent will hold the Participating Assignments with respect to the over-allotment in escrow until the last date upon which such over-allotment is exercisable pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

(i) Each Participating Lender will acknowledge that (i) the terms and conditions in this Loan Purchase Offer have been determined in arms-length negotiations among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and certain Lenders; (ii) it has made its own determination, based on such information and other factors it considers relevant, whether to assign its Loans to the Purchaser and become a Participating Lender; and (iii) it has not relied on any recommendation by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender in making its decision whether, and to what extent, it will assign Loans to the Purchaser and become a Participating Lender.

(iii) agrees that any purchase pursuant to any credit bid by the Lenders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise that is approved or authorized by the Requisite Lenders shall have the effect of discharging the GLG Affiliate’s liens, claims, encumbrances and interests in the Collateral, and that title acquired pursuant to such credit bid shall be acquired free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or interests arising under or by reason of the Purchased Loans or any other Loan Document, whether or not the court order approving the sale pursuant to such credit bid expressly so provides; and

(iv) consents to the entry of an order approving sale of any or all of the Collateral in one or more transactions under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether for cash or other consideration, including a credit bid by the Lenders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, that expressly provides that any lien, claim, encumbrance or interest is discharged and title acquired pursuant to the sale is free and clear of any liens, claims, or encumbrances held by the GLG Affiliate arising under or by reason of the Purchased Loans or any other Loan Document.

(f) The provisions of this Annex B shall be enforceable as against the GLG Affiliate even if all or part of the Lender Obligations and/or the security interests securing such obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided, disallowed, modified or otherwise impaired as if such events had not occurred. The GLG Affiliate will not contest the validity, amount, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Lender Obligations and/or the liens securing such obligations in any forum. The GLG Affiliate agrees that, for purposes of determining whether the Obligations are over or under collateralized, the GLG Affiliate Obligations shall be disregarded. If post-petition interest is not payable as a result of the inclusion of the GLG Affiliate Obligations in the analysis or otherwise, the provisions of this Annex B shall still be enforceable as against the GLG Affiliate as if such events had not occurred.

(g) The GLG Affiliate, waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, including, without limitation, any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Lender Obligations, has impaired the value of the GLG Affiliate’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against the Loan Parties or any guarantor of the Lender Obligations or any other Person.

(h) The Lender Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the terms of this Annex B, and all dealings between the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon the terms of this Annex B. The GLG Affiliate waives notice of or proof of reliance on the terms of this Annex B and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

(i) All powers, authorizations and agencies in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, contained in this Annex B, are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Payment in Full of Lender Obligations.

(j) The agreements contained in this Annex B shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Lender Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Loan Parties or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Loan Parties or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

(k) The Loan Parties have read this Annex B and expressly consent thereto. The Loan Parties agree not to take any action that would be contrary to the provisions of this Annex B.

(l) This Annex B shall limit the rights and remedies of the GLG Affiliate in respect of the GLG Affiliate Obligations and nothing herein limits or constitutes a waiver of any right, power or privilege of the GLG Affiliate in any other capacity.

(m) The provisions set forth in this Annex B are for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. This Annex B shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Lender Obligations, irrespective of any defect in effectiveness of the Loan Documents and irrespective of the date of recordation or filing of the liens granted with respect to any Collateral.
