Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credits for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to a Lender. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage.

together with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

Section 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.3(a)), the Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make loans to each Borrower in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”) from time to time from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date in amounts requested by the Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower up to the aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Limit; provided that, subject to the terms of Section 2.8, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, such Swingline Loan shall not cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow the applicable Swingline Loans hereunder. Each such Swingline Loan shall be requested by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and shall be made available by the Swingline Lender to the relevant Borrower in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

(b) Refunding.

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by Lenders in accordance with the settlement procedures set forth in Section 3.6(b).

(ii) The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the applicable Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by such applicable Borrowers with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of the applicable Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrowers from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of such applicable Borrowers pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Swingline Lender has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 13.4 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable).

(iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 and Section 3.6 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2 and Section 3.6, one of the events described in Section 11.1(f), (g) or (h) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in any Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the

amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(c) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s funding obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable outstanding Swingline Loans. On demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swingline Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Swingline Loans.

The renewal or extension of, or increase in the amount of, any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

Each drawing under any Letter of Credit or other amount payable in connection therewith when due, if such drawing is not reimbursed by the Borrowers as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall constitute a request by the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued to the Administrative Agent for a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing or other amount then due, and shall be made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as a Revolving Loan (or Special Agent Advance, as the case may be). The date of such Revolving Loan (or Special Agent Advance, as applicable) shall be the date of the drawing or, as to other amounts, the due date therefor.

(g) Loan Party as Account Party.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant to any Loan Party any right or authority to pledge the credit of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any manner. Loan Parties shall be bound by any reasonable interpretation made in good faith by the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of any Loan Party.

(h) Participations. Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the applicable Borrowers with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto). Each Lender shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Pro Rata Share of all of such obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed or otherwise paid as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing or other amounts then due to the Issuing Lender in connection therewith. If such amount is not made available by a Lender when due, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the interest rate then payable by any Borrower in respect of Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(i) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers to pay the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances, whatsoever, notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any Default, Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in Article 5 or any

other event or circumstance. Any reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.3(f) shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit or make any other payment in connection therewith.

(j) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit. On demand by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender which, in any case, is not in excess of an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations. Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3.

(a) Requests for Borrowing.

(i) Requested Loans.

A Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Administrative Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan in the case of a Revolving Loan, and any Eurodollar Rate Loan for which the Administrative Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to have an Interest Period of one (1) month. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.

(ii) Revolving Loans Deemed to be Requested.

(A) Unless payment is timely made by the Company pursuant to Section 3.5(a) or otherwise as set forth in Section 3.5(b), on the date when any Obligation (whether principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, other charges, Letter of Credit Obligations or Obligations in respect of Bank Products) shall become due, the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Revolving Loans that bear interest based on the Base Rate on such date in the amount of Obligations then due. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(B) If the Company establishes a controlled disbursement account with the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof, then the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover such check or other payment shall be deemed to be a request for Revolving Loans that bear interest based on the Base Rate on such date of presentation in the amount of the check and items presented for payment. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or to such other appropriate account as determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Administrative Borrower.

(b) Disbursement of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date, (i) each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (ii) the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.4 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of such Borrower identified in writing to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 3.6, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Loan requested (or deemed requested) pursuant to this Section 2.4 to the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan. Revolving Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(c).

(c) Authorization to Make Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are authorized to make the Loans based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of the Administrative Borrower or any Borrower or other authorized person or if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All Loans and Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, any Borrower when deposited to the credit of any Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Repayments and Prepayments.

(a) Repayment on Maturity Date. The Borrowers hereby agree to repay the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving Loans in full on the Maturity Date, and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(c), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

(b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each Eurodollar Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans and $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans. A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.6.

(i) Except as provided in Section 2.8, if at any time the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrowers shall repay promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) upon the earlier of (A) any Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower obtaining knowledge thereof and (B) demand from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment applied first to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, to a payment of cash collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders in an amount requested by the Administrative Agent which, in any case, will not be in excess of an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

(ii) If at any time any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive proceeds from (A) any insurance or condemnation award payable by reason of theft, loss, physical destruction or damage, taking or similar event with respect to any Collateral or (B) the sale (or series of sales) or other disposition of Collateral, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds, which proceeds shall promptly upon receipt thereof be deposited into a Blocked Account and payments therefrom shall be applied by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders first to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, without a corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Commitment.

(d) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers may not prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.6.

(e) Hedging Agreements. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall affect any Loan Party’s obligations under any Hedging Agreement entered into with a Bank Product Provider.

Section 2.6 Optional Reduction of Commitments. The Administrative Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment at any time or from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitment after such proposed reduction.

Section 2.7 Optional Increase of Commitments. At any time following the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right, from time to time and upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall not obligate the Company to increase the Aggregate Commitment) to increase the Aggregate Commitment (each such increase, a “Facility Increase”); provided that:

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from any such requested Facility Increase or borrowings thereunder;

(b) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Facility Increase and after giving effect thereto, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date); provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates;

(c) each Facility Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(d) the aggregate amount of all Facility Increases made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not exceed $25,000,000;

(e) Facility Increases shall not increase or otherwise affect the Letter of Credit Limit or the Swingline Limit;

(f) the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased without the approval of such Lender;

(g) in connection with each proposed Facility Increase, the Company shall first provide all then existing Lenders with an opportunity to commit to such Facility Increase on a ratable basis (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to commit to all or a portion of the proposed Facility Increase) and, if, within ten (10) Business Days after the Company has delivered notice thereof to such existing Lenders, sufficient commitments cannot be obtained from such existing Lenders (it being

agreed that any Lender that does not deliver a notice of such Lender’s intention to commit to such Facility Increase within such period shall be deemed to have declined to commit to such Facility Increase), then the Company may seek commitments from other Eligible Assignees that are reasonably acceptable to both the Administrative Agent and the Company or from existing Lenders in an amount in excess of such Lender’s ratable share of such Facility Increase;

(h) in the event that any existing Lender or any new lender commits to such requested Facility Increase, (i) any new lender will execute an accession agreement to this Agreement, (ii) the Commitment of any existing Lender that has committed to provide any of the requested increase shall be increased, (iii) the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders shall be adjusted, (iv) the Borrowers shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to affect the reallocation of the Commitments (and the Borrowers shall pay any amounts due under Section 4.6 in connection therewith), and (v) other changes shall be made to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which the Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or make new commitments in response to the Company’s request for an increase pursuant to this Section 2.7 and which other changes do not adversely affect the rights of those Lenders not participating in the increase other than a change in the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares to reflect the Facility Increase;

(i) if the Aggregate Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section 2.7, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Facility Increase and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Facility Increase and Increase Effective Date;

(j) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received any fees and expenses payable by the Loan Parties in respect of such Facility Increase; and

(k) each Facility Increase shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral and guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 2.8 Overadvances; Special Agent Advances.

(a) Additional Loans. No Loan shall be made nor shall any Letter of Credit be provided to any Borrower intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loan or Letter of Credit would cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment (such excess, an “Overadvance”), without the prior consent of all of the Lenders, except, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and unless its authority has been revoked in writing by the Required Lenders or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than as a result of such Overadvance), the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to honor requests for such additional Loans or the Issuing Lender may provide such additional Letters of Credit, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letters of Credit will cause an Overadvance, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all additional Loans and additional Letters of Credit to any Borrower that may be made or provided after obtaining such actual knowledge of such Overadvance shall not exceed the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Commitment and (B) $7,500,000;

(ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit (including the additional Loans and additional Letters of Credit made

pursuant to this Section 2.8(a)), plus (B) the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 2.8(b) then outstanding, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment; and

(iii) no such additional Loan or Letter of Credit shall be outstanding more than forty-five (45) days after the date such additional Loan or Letter of Credit is made or issued (as the case may be), in each case, except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree.

Each Lender shall provide the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Loans or Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such additional Loans and Letters of Credit shall bear interest at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans (including any Default Rate, if then applicable).

(b) Special Agent Advances. The Administrative Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable either (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Loan Parties of the Loans or any other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents consisting of costs, fees and expenses and payments to any Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit Obligations; provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Commitment and (y) $7,500,000, (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances outstanding at any time, plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit (including the additional Loans and the additional Letters of Credit made pursuant to Section 2.8(a)), shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (C) no such Special Agent Advance shall be outstanding more than forty five (45) days after the date such Special Agent Advance is made, except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree. The Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and together with all interest thereon shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Interest on Special Agent Advances shall be payable at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus two percent (2%), and shall be payable on demand. Each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. If such funds are not promptly made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of the Administrative Agent’s demand, at the highest interest rate provided for in Section 3.1 applicable to Base Rate Loans. The Required Lenders may at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent (x) revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Special Agent Advances and (y) instruct the Administrative Agent to demand repayment of outstanding Special Agent Advances from the Loan Parties. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Special Agent Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

Section 2.9 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Borrower, jointly and severally, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. The Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Loans made to one of them, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of one of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans made to the other of the Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations shall be primary obligations of all the Borrowers.

(b) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the obligations of the other Borrower) hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by the other Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the other Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the obligations of the other Borrowers) assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.9, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.9, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.9 shall not be discharged except by payment or performance and then only to the extent of such payment or performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.9 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any other Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(d) Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that another Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Borrower hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in clause (g). The provisions of this clause (d) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount of the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.9 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and subject to Section 11.2, may be enforced by them from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code).

(g) With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, each Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than indemnities and contingent Obligations which have not yet accrued) and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice (to the extent notice is waivable under applicable law), against (i) with respect to Obligations of the Borrowers, any of them or (ii) with respect to Obligations of any Borrower, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the applicable Obligations, without first proceeding against the other applicable Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

Section 2.10 Appointment of Administrative Borrower as Agent for Requesting Loans and Receipts of Loans and Statements.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the name

or on behalf of such Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of the Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as the Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

(b) The Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by the Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of the Company, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.

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

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

ARTICLE 3
GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (including, without limitation Overadvances made pursuant to Section 2.8(a)) and Special Agent Advances as follows:

(i) as to Base Rate Loans, a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans;

(ii) as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, a rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans;

(iii) as to Swingline Loans, a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans; and

All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or the Maturity Date shall be payable on demand.

(b) Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(i) The Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower shall select Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto at the time a

Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.4 or at the time a Notice of Conversion or Continuation is given pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii).

(ii) The Borrowers shall have the option to (A) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (x) convert all or any part of its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (y) continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans as Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that, in the case of a conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or the continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Whenever any Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (1) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor, (2) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (4) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Eurodollar Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such notice.

(iii) No more than five (5) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(iv) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless the Administrative Agent has received a request to continue or convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) immediately, automatically and without notice to the Borrowers, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (f) or (g), or (ii) at Required Lenders’ option and upon prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to request Eurodollar Rate Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans and (z) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all

amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the Maximum Interest Rate (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America as amended, 12 U.S.C. Section 85, as amended). In no event shall any Borrower or Guarantor be obligated to pay interest or such amounts as may be deemed interest under applicable law in amounts which exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. In the event any interest or deemed interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be applied, first, to the payment of then outstanding and unpaid principal hereunder; second to the payment of the other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to such Borrower or Guarantor. All monies paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from any Borrower or Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread during the entire term of this Agreement in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time hereunder and the Maximum Interest Rate from time to time in effect in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable laws. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall be deemed to be incorporated into each of the other Loan Documents (whether or not any provision of this Section 3.1 is referred to therein).

(e) Interest Payment and Computations. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month. Interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period. Interest on Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. All other computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

Section 3.2 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender from and after the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender), a fee on the unused amount of the Aggregate Commitments (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month in arrears, determined by multiplying: (i) the amount, if any, by which (A) the Aggregate Commitment exceeds (B) the average daily amount of Total Outstandings (other than outstanding Swingline Loans and Special Agent Advances) during the immediately preceding calendar month (or part thereof) by (ii) the Commitment Fee Rate. The obligation of the Borrowers to pay any Commitment Fees that remain unpaid shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. In consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender from and after the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender), a fee at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance thereof to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Letter of Credit Fees on the average daily maximum amount

available to be drawn under all of such Letters of Credit for the immediately preceding calendar month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar month, computed for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. The obligation of the Borrowers to pay any letter of credit fees that remain unpaid shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Letter of Credit Fronting Fee. In addition to the letter of credit fees provided above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account (without sharing with the Lenders) a letter of credit fronting fee of one-fourth percent (0.25%), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar month, of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration thereof, negotiation fees agreed to by the Borrowers and the Issuing Lender from time to time, the customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit and in the case of documentary Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender’s customary processing fees.

(d) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein. To the extent payment in full of the applicable fee is received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers on or about the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its share of such fees in accordance with the terms of the arrangements of the Administrative Agent with such Lender.

Section 3.3 Loan Accounts. The Loans made by each Lender (and the purchases by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers (and the purchases by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Commitment in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 3.4 Pro Rata Treatment, Sharing of Payments, Funding by Lenders, Etc.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Lenders: (i) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (ii) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of the Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, while any Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,

to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) and Section 3.4(c)), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Loan Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Person or any other amount payable to such Person hereunder (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party), in which case it shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided that such Person’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, if any Lender (including the Administrative Agent) shall obtain from any Loan Party payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Loan Party to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(d) Each Loan Party agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section 3.4 may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section 3.4, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Loan Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.4 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section 3.4 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with

banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Nothing in this Section 3.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment.

Section 3.5 Payments Generally.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in clause (b) below, each payment by the Borrowers on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent Payment Account, in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes hereunder. If any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon 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 any interest if payable along with such payment. All principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of any applicable Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent in the manner set forth in clause (b) below and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower from time to time or upon the request of any such Borrower, of any charge to such Borrower’s loan account for interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges (other than principal).

(b) All amounts that shall have been swept into the Administrative Agent Payment Account pursuant to Section 6.3(a) as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists in the Administrative Agent Payment Account, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of the Company. The Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply the same against the Obligations then due and owing, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3, all amounts applied to repay the Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) shall be applied in the manner determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Administrative Borrower, or unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives (or any amounts applied to repay the Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above) to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or (ii) in the event that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent will attempt to honor any written request received from the Administrative Borrower to hold such payment until the

expiration of the applicable Interest Period, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to do so.

(d) To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. This Section 3.5(d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 3.5 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.6 Settlement Procedures.

(a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms of this Section 3.6, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Revolving Loans requested or charged to any Borrower’s loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Revolving Loans (each such advance by the Administrative Agent, a “Settlement Advance”).

(b) With respect to (i) all Swingline Loans and (ii) all Revolving Loans made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section 3.6, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided that the Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as the Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 noon, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section 3.6 by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 noon, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s (other than a Defaulting Lender) Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to xxxx its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such

Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section 3.6. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.6 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 3.6, one of the events described in Section 11.1(f), (g) or (h) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in any Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Loan.

(c) To the extent that the Administrative Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Revolving Loans by a Borrower or with the collected proceeds on deposit in the Administrative Agent Payment Account as described in Section 3.5(b), the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.6. In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Lender to provide the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Loan, prior to the Administrative Agent’s disbursement of such Revolving Loan to Borrower. In such event, all Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares.

(d) If the Administrative Agent is not funding a particular Revolving Loan to a Borrower (or the Administrative Borrower for the benefit of such Borrower) pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above on any day, but is requiring each Lender to provide the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds on the date of such Revolving Loan as provided in subsection (c) above, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such Borrower on such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to a Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of the Administrative Agent’s demand, at the highest interest rate provided for in Section 3.1 applicable to Base Rate Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to or for the benefit of any Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Borrower of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of the Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such notice.

(e) Nothing in this Section 3.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any

Lender (including, without limitation, a Defaulting Lender) or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment. In the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 3.9.

Section 3.7 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested (or deemed requested) hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 3.8 Bank Products. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents solely for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Administrative Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider (including, without limitation, Bank Product Providers that provide Noticed Bank Products and any other Bank Product Provider) unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Administrative Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Administrative Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). The Loan Parties may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although no Loan Party is required to do so. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue

of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

Section 3.9 Defaulting Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to the Swingline Lender to the extent of any Swingline Loans that were made by the Swingline Lender and that were required to be, but were not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to the Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations that were required to be, but were not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting Lender), (D) fourth, to a suspense account maintained by the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of any Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of such Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) fifth, from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 11.3. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its sole discretion, re-lend to a Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 3.9 to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to the Administrative Agent all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, provides adequate assurance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this Section 3.9 shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder or to relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle the Loan Parties, at their option, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.9(b). In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 3.9 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.9 shall control and govern.

ARTICLE 4
YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1 Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive

and binding on all parties hereto) that on any date by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (such notice, the “Initial Notice”) to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender of such determination. Thereafter, no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans, until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such Initial Notice no longer exist (in which case the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders). Upon receipt of the Initial Notice, the Administrative Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion then submitted by it. If the Administrative Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue such Loans, as proposed by the Administrative Agent, in the amount specified in such notice submitted by the Administrative Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 4.2 Changed Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) any change in any law or interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority makes it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to maintain any Commitment with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) the Required Lenders determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that it has become impracticable as a result of a circumstance that adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market or (iii) the Required Lenders determine that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then, in each case, such Lender or Lenders shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower and may (A) declare that Eurodollar Rate Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, such that any request for Eurodollar Rate Loans from such Lender shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, unless such Lender’s declaration has been withdrawn (and it shall be withdrawn promptly upon the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above) and (B) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans immediately, in which event all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender shall be so converted.

Section 4.3 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or the Issuing Lender; (b) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever other than any Excluded Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.5 or Excluded Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender described in Sections 4.5(d)); or (c) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may

be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Section 4.4 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Section 4.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any of the Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings, liabilities, restrictions or conditions of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding all Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable in respect of the Obligations to any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.5), such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(c) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(d) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.5) paid by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand

therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender, the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of any Loan Party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 4.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the recipient), whichever of the following is applicable (but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so): (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from, or a reduction to, withholding tax under an income tax treaty, or any successor form, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business or any successor form, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a certificate of the Foreign Lender to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described and Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit a Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Unless the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to or for a Foreign Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable requirements of law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i) If the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of an additional amount from any Loan Party pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender shall pay to such Loan Party

an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund. Each Loan Party, upon request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

Section 4.6 Breakage Indemnity. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to the Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or redeployment of such) that it sustains (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a request for borrowing, or a conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a request for conversion or continuation, (b) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, or (c) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by a Borrower (or on its behalf by the Administrative Borrower). This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 4.7 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 4.3 or 4.4 and delivered to the Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.8 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this such Sections for any increased costs incurred or reductions occurring more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the event giving rise to such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s claim for compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.9 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If Section 4.2 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, then such Lender shall promptly, and in any event if so requested by the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to take such other actions as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, if, in the judgment of

such Lender, such designation, assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such Sections in the future and (ii) would not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and the Administrative Agent or such Lender would not suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If Section 4.2 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, or becomes a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 4.5, then within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, the Administrative Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.11), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Administrative Borrower has received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 14.11, (ii) the Administrative Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 14.11, (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans that it has funded, if any, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and other amounts payable to it hereunder (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, Bank Product Obligations owed thereto), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) and the Administrative Borrower (in the case of accrued interest, fees and other amounts, including amounts under Section 4.6), (iv) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation and payments, and (v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws or regulations. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Administrative Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall impair any rights that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

Section 4.10 No Requirement of Match Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to acquire Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to otherwise match fund any Obligations as to which interest accrues based on the Eurodollar Rate. All of the provisions of this Article 4 shall be deemed to apply as if the Administrative Agent, each Lender or any Participant had acquired such deposits to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any other Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the Eurodollar Rate by acquiring such Dollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or other applicable Obligations.

Section 6.2 Perfection of Security Interests.

(a) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Administrative Agent (or its agent) to prepare and file at any time and from time to time such financing statements, together with any amendments and continuations with respect thereto, with respect to the Collateral naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Loan Party as debtor, as the Administrative Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such Loan Party or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may determine, and as may be required by Article 9 of the UCC to perfect the security interest granted by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” of such Loan Party or that describes the Collateral in some other manner as

the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date and ratifies and confirms the authorization of the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to adopt on behalf of such Loan Party any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the Collateral in any financing statement naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Loan Party as debtor includes assets and properties of such Loan Party that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Loan Party to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Loan Party at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any continuation, amendment or termination with respect to any financing statement naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party as debtor.

(b) No Loan Party has any chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.2(b). In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the Closing Date, Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any Loan Party (including by any agent or representative), such Loan Party shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent, all such tangible chattel paper and instruments, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree. At the Administrative Agent’s option, each Loan Party shall, or the Administrative Agent may at any time on behalf of any Loan Party, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper][instrument] is subject to the security interest of Wachovia Bank, National Association, as the Administrative Agent and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party.”

(c) In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time hold or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing.

Subject to Section 6.3(a), Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any deposit account (other than an Excluded Bank Account)

unless on or before the opening of such deposit account, such Loan Party shall have obtained a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account, duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained.

(e) No Loan Party owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, as of the Closing Date, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary as of the Closing Date, in each case except for investment, securities and commodities accounts identified on Schedule 8.10 and securities identified on Schedule 8.12.

(i) In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the Closing Date hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party are uncertificated and are issued to such Loan Party or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and shall as the Administrative Agent may specify, either cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Loan Party or such nominee, or arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(ii) Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or any other similar account (other than an Excluded Bank Account) with any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice of the intention of such Loan Party to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Loan Party is dealing and the purpose of the account, the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account is opened or maintained shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and on or before the opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary, such Loan Party shall as the Administrative Agent may specify either (A) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and such securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary or (B) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Loan Parties are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the Closing Date. In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or any similar instrument whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing.

Such Loan Party shall immediately, as the Administrative Agent may specify, either (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to the Administrative Agent by such Loan Party and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent may otherwise direct or (ii) cause the Administrative Agent to become, at the Borrowers’ expense, the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).

(g) The Loan Parties do not have any commercial tort claims as of the Closing Date. In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time after the Closing Date have any such commercial tort claims (excluding any commercial tort claim where a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party has reasonably determined that the amount likely to be recovered in respect of such claim will not exceed $500,000), such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include the express grant by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent of a security interest in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof). In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof by such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to constitute such grant to the Administrative Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without limiting the authorization of the Administrative Agent provided in Section 6.2(a) or otherwise arising by the execution by such Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming the Administrative Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, each Loan Party shall promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such commercial tort claim.

(h) Material Government Contracts.

(i) No Loan Party is party to any Material Government Contract except for Material Government Contracts identified on Schedule 8.15 (as such schedule may be updated from time to time after the Closing Date to reflect (x) the addition of any new Material Government Contracts entered into after the Closing Date and (y) the deletion of any Material Government Contracts upon the expiration or termination thereof after the Closing Date or if any scheduled Government Contract is no longer a Material Government Contract). In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time after the Closing Date become a party to any Material Government Contract, such Loan Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a copy of such Material Government Contract and (B) a duly executed and completed Instrument of Assignment and Notice of Assignment with respect to such Material Government Contract. In addition, in the event that any Material Government Contract is terminated or amended in any manner materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in accordance with Section 9.6(b)(ii).

(ii) If (A) at any time, Excess Availability is less than the Filing Threshold Amount, (B) a Material Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (C) any other

Event of Default (other than a Material Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing without waiver or cure for sixty (60) consecutive days after the occurrence thereof (which sixty (60) consecutive days shall be inclusive of any applicable grace period with respect to such Event of Default required to elapse in order for the corresponding Default, if any, to mature into such Event of Default), then, in any such case, the Administrative Agent may deliver all Instruments of Assignment and all Notices of Assignment to the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority for each Material Government Contract and the Loan Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to have such Notices of Assignment acknowledged in writing by the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority.

(i) Except as set forth in Schedule 8.2, the Loan Parties do not have any goods, documents of title or other Collateral in the custody, control or possession of a third party as of the Closing Date, except for goods located in the United States in transit to a location of a Loan Party set forth in Schedule 8.2 in the ordinary course of business of such Loan Party in the possession of the carrier transporting such goods. In the event that any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time after the Closing Date in the custody, control or possession of such carriers, Loan Parties shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, Loan Parties shall take all reasonable steps to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Collateral Access Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person and the Loan Party that is the owner of such Collateral.

(j) Loan Parties shall take any other actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in any and all of the Collateral (subject only to the Liens permitted under Section 10.2), including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC and other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that any Loan Party’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing the Administrative Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral, and (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral.

Section 6.3 Collection of Accounts.

(a) The Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) deposit and direct their respective account debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner, into one or more deposit accounts of the Borrowers subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement (the “Blocked Accounts”). Each Deposit Account Control Agreement entered into with respect to a Blocked Account shall provide that all payments to the Blocked Accounts shall be swept daily to the Administrative Agent Payment Account. Each Loan Party agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of the Obligations and

therefore shall constitute the property of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent of then outstanding Obligations. All payments to the Blocked Accounts shall be swept daily to the Administrative Agent Payment Account and applied to repay the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 3.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts on deposit in the MAR-VEL Bank Account shall not be required to be swept to the Administrative Agent Payment Account until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) For purposes of calculating (i) the amount of the Loans available to each Borrower and (ii) interest on the Obligations, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by the Administrative Agent of immediately available funds in the Administrative Agent Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit such Borrower’s loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day.

(c) The Borrowers, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a schedule of all deposit accounts (other than deposit accounts described in clause (A) of the definition of Excluded Bank Account), that are maintained by the Loan Parties, which schedule shall include, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository, (ii) the account name and number(s) maintained with such depository and (iii) a contact person at such depository.

(d) Each Loan Party and their respective employees, agents and Subsidiaries shall, acting as trustee for the Administrative Agent, receive, as the property of the Administrative Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in a Blocked Account, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with any Loan Party’s other funds. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank or other financial institution at which a Blocked Account or any other deposit account or investment account is established or any other bank, financial institution or other person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of the Administrative Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank, financial institution or other person. The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time or times, in the name of any applicable Loan Party, in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to conducting any such verifications, the Administrative Agent shall consult with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may use third party government billing systems (“My Invoice”) or another similar system to make such verifications.

(e) Loan Parties shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory with all reasonable care and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with applicable laws (including the requirements of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended and all rules, regulations and orders related thereto);

Section 11.2 Remedies.

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Subject to Section 13, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Loan Party to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, at its option and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders, (i) upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, accelerate the payment

of all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) and demand immediate payment thereof to the Administrative Agent for itself and the benefit of the Lenders (provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f) and 11.1(g), all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall automatically become immediately due and payable) and/or (ii) terminate the Commitments whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and Issuing Lender to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate (provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f) and 11.1(g), the Commitments and any other obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or a Lender hereunder shall automatically terminate).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Loan Party, at the Borrowers’ expense, to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent, (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Administrative Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Loan Party, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Loan Parties and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by the Administrative Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by the Administrative Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Loan Parties waive any other notice. In the event the Administrative Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Loan Party waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

(d) At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Issuing Lender’s request, the Borrowers will either, as the Administrative Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the Issuing Lender to be used to secure and fund the reimbursement obligations to the Issuing Lender in connection with any Letter of Credit Obligations or furnish cash collateral to the Administrative Agent for the Letter of Credit Obligations. Such cash collateral shall be in the amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations.

(e) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of any Loan Party against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and that the Administrative Agent has a Lien therein and the Administrative Agent may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other

obligors to make payment of Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of the Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and are payable directly and only to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as the Administrative Agent may require. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to the Administrative Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

(f) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on, or any adverse claims against, Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.2(f) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on

account of not being indicated in this Section 11.2(f). Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.2(f) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.2(f).

(g) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Loan Party, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(h) At any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by the Administrative Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not then due or may hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations. The Loan Parties shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(i) Without limiting the foregoing, (i) at any time a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, without notice, cease making Loans or arranging for Letters of Credit or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit available to the Borrowers and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, at its option, establish such Reserves as the Administrative Agent determines, without limitation or restriction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

Section 11.3 Crediting Payments and Proceeds.

(a) In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated or the Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth herein or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of all the Obligations (including proceeds of any Collateral) shall be applied as follows (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders):

first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, each in their capacity as such, from any Loan Party (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them);

second, to pay interest due in respect of Special Agent Advances (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them);

100

third, to pay principal due in respect of Special Agent Advances (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them);

eleventh, to pay or prepay any and all Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and

last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, to the extent any Borrower uses any proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first, to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations that were not used for such purposes, and second, to

101

the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such Collateral.

Section 11.4 Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.2 and 14.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Nothing contained herein 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 the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE 12
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) Wachovia to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Loan Party or any other Person to

102

perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may employ agents, bailees, custodians and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such persons selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.2 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of the Administrative Agent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders.

Section 12.3 Events of Default.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, unless and until the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 13.9) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders (and shall direct the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in a manner consistent with any such direction); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders (and shall direct the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in a manner consistent with this standard).

(b) Except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Lender or Issuing Lender may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Obligations, as against any Loan Party or any of the Collateral or other property of any Loan Party.

Section 12.4 Wachovia in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as the Administrative Agent), so long as Wachovia shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Wachovia in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Wachovia (and any successor acting as the Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend

103

money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and Wachovia and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 12.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender, each acting in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Persons (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that such Person is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Loan Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide the Lenders with any information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party which is required to be provided to the Lenders or deemed to be requested by the Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of Default or Failure of Condition received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or deemed requested by the Lenders hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 12.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

Section 12.9 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report and report with respect to the Borrowing Base prepared or received by the Administrative Agent (each field audit or examination report and report with respect to the Borrowing Base being referred to herein as a “Report”), appraisals with respect to the Collateral and financial statements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries received by the Administrative Agent;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 14.9, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

Section 12.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any security interest in, mortgage or Lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 14.12 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Administrative Borrower or any Loan Party certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 10.5 (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which any Loan Party did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) if required or permitted under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, or (v) subject to Section 14.2, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (vi) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve (12) consecutive fiscal month period of less than $5,000,000, and to the extent the Administrative Agent may release its security interest in, and Lien upon, any such Collateral pursuant to the sale or other disposition thereof, such sale or other disposition shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will promptly confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10. In no event shall the consent or approval of Issuing Lender or any Bank Product Provider (in its capacity as such) to any release of Collateral be required.

105

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release a Borrower as a “Borrower” or a Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) such Borrower or Guarantor has ceased to be, or simultaneously with such release will cease to be, a Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 10.4 or 10.5, (ii) in the case of a Guarantor, such Guarantor has ceased to be, or simultaneously with its release from the Guaranty will cease to be, a Subsidiary, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such release, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed date of release of a Borrower, such information as shall be required for the Administrative Agent to adjust the Borrowing Base to reflect such release. In no event shall the consent or approval of Issuing Lender or any Bank Product Provider (in its capacity as such) to any release of any Borrower or Guarantor be required.

(c) Without in any manner limiting the Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Administrative Agent, the authority to release Collateral or Loan Parties conferred upon the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10. The Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Loan Party or security interest, mortgage or Liens granted to the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Loan Party, security interest, mortgage or Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Loan Party.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, Issuing Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the Liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender or Issuing Lender.

(d) Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise), relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender and Issuing Lender hereby appoints (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint and authorize) the Administrative Agent and each other Lender and Issuing Lender as agent and

106

bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and Liens upon the Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Should any Lender or Issuing Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, 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 12.12 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” as used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 and Section 14.4 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the existing Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed).

Section 12.13 Other Agent Designations. The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time determine that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Borrower of any such designation. Any Lender that is so designated as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation by the Administrative Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender rely, on a Lender so identified as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE 13
GUARANTY

Section 13.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder or any Lender (or its Affiliates) to provide any Bank Products and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the extensions of credit hereunder and the provision of Bank Products, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether

107

upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional. If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder or in connection with any Bank Product, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or their respective order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state).

Section 13.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, the payment of any and all Obligations whether or not due or payable by any Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 11.1(f) and 11.1(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of itself and the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that any Loan Party shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to a Loan Party, the estate of a Loan Party, a trustee, receiver, interim receiver, monitor or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state, federal, provincial or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

Section 13.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by a Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution or termination of, or increase, decrease or change in personnel by, a Loan Party, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Obligations that the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay a Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

Section 13.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party in respect of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Loan Party and whether or not any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

Section 13.5 Authorization. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement or the

108

agreements governing Bank Products, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers or obligors.

Section 13.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or other obligor of the Obligations or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 13.7 Waiver.

(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Obligations, including without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on or otherwise enforce its rights under any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against any Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s or other obligor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against any Borrower or any other guarantor or other obligor of the Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any

109

right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations of any Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to secure payment of the Obligations until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.

Section 13.8 Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that another Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13.7. The provisions of this Section 13.8 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 13.9 Limitation on Enforcement. The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender or Bank Product Provider shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement. The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.

Section 13.10 Confirmation of Payment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the Obligations that are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Borrowers, Guarantors or any other Person that such Obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 14.2.

111

(i) reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of payment of principal, interest or any fees or reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that any change to the definition of Average Excess Availability or Excess Availability or in each case in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate during the continuance of an Event of Default,

(ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect or provided hereunder, in each case without the consent of such Lender,

(iii) subordinate the priority of any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any other Person (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 10.2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender);

(iv) release all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral or release all a substantially all of the value of the Guaranties of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents (except as expressly required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and except as permitted under Section 12.10), without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender),

(v) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender),

(vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.4), without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender),

(vii) amend, modify or waive any terms of this Section 14.2, the definition of Pro Rata Shares or the application of payments in Section 3.4 or 11.3, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders, and

(viii) increase the advance rates constituting part of the Borrowing Base (or amend or modify any of the defined terms used therein that would have the direct effect of increasing the Borrowing Base or Excess Availability) or increase the Letter of Credit Limit, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a):

(A) this Agreement may be amended to increase the interest rate or any fees hereunder solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrowers;

(B) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to reflect definitional, technical and conforming modifications to the extent necessary to effectuate any Facility Increase pursuant to Section 2.7 with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties and each Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such Facility Increase pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the

112

Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties without the consent of any other Lender or Issuing Lender;

(C) modifications to the Loan Documents may be made to the extent necessary to grant a security interest in additional collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Lender; and

(D) if the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any such right, power and/or remedy which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.2(a) above, in connection with any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), but the consent of the Required Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is obtained, then the Administrative Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, replace such Non-Consenting Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to sell, assign and transfer to an Eligible Assignee, without recourse, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto; provided that such Eligible Assignee consents to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. The Administrative Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its right under this Section 14.2(c), which notice shall specify the date on which such purchase and sale shall occur. Such purchase and sale shall be made in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 14.11 (including, without limitation, payment to the Administrative Agent by the Administrative Borrower of the assignment fee specified in Section 14.11) and pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption (whether or not executed by the Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, such Eligible Assignee specified by the Administrative Borrower, shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender (except as the Eligible Assignee and such Non-Consenting Lender may otherwise agree) the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Non-Consenting Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be deemed entitled to any early termination fee). The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Assumption if the Non-Consenting Lender fails to execute same.

113

(d) The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section 14.2 and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder with respect to Reserves or Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory shall not be deemed an amendment to the advance rates provided for in this Section 14.2. The consent of Issuing Lender shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Issuing Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section 14.2, provided that the consent of Issuing Lender shall not be required for any other amendments, waivers or consents.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 14.4 may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to the Indemnitees in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 14.4. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transaction contemplated hereby or

115

thereby. All amounts due under this Section 14.4 shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(C) the consents of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

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

120

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Holdings, the Company or any of the their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders 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 or modification described in Section 14.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 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 14.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.4 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 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 Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.5 unless the Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.5 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Assignment by Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender. Any Lender that is an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender may at any time assign all of its Commitments pursuant to this Section 14.11. If such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender ceases to be a Lender, it may, at its option, resign as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender. Upon such resignation, the Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit or make Swingline Loans shall terminate but it shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans), shall continue.

Section 14.12 Term.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the

121

Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

(ii) furnish cash collateral to the Administrative Agent (or at the Administrative Agent’s option, a letter of credit issued for the account of the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, by an issuer reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and payable to the Administrative Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts as the Administrative Agent determines in good faith are reasonably necessary to secure the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Bank Product Providers from loss, cost, damage or expense, (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with:

(A) any contingent Obligations (including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has not yet received full and final payment);

(B) any continuing obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement; and

(C) any of the Obligations arising under or in connection with any Bank Products in such amounts as the Bank Product Provider providing such Bank Products may require (as certified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.8 (unless such Obligations arising under or in connection with any Bank Products are paid in full in cash and terminated in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Bank Product Provider)).

The amount of such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as the Administrative Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit Obligations shall be in the amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available Federal funds to the Administrative

122

Agent Payment Account or such other bank account of the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to the Administrative Borrower for such purpose. Interest and fees shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent Payment Account or other bank account designated by the Administrative Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m.

(c) No termination of the Commitments, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and the Administrative Agent’s continuing Lien upon the Collateral and the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to Loan Parties, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and satisfied in full; provided that the Administrative Agent may release such security interests and take such further actions as authorized pursuant to Section 12.10.
