- 3 -

(f) Interest Rate Matters. The Company agrees that matters concerning the payment, application, accrual and computation of interest and interest rates shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(i) Applicable Interest Rate. In accordance with this Section 2(f) and any other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Subordinated Debt shall bear interest per annum at a rate equal to (a) 10.0% per annum for the period until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) 13.0% per annum thereafter.

(ii) Interest Payments. In accordance with this Section 2(f) and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Notes, interest accrued on the Notes shall be payable by the Company in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on June 30, 2011) and on the Maturity Date. Interest will be payable in cash or, at the Company’s option (upon not less than ten Business Days’ notice to each Buyer), a combination of cash and in kind by increasing the principal amount by the amount of interest paid in kind; provided, however, that at each interest payment date, the Company must pay interest in cash at a rate of at least (a) 7.0% per annum during the period until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) 10.0% per annum thereafter.

(iii) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest and the payment dates specified in this Section 2(f), but subject to the immediately following sentence, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Subordinated Debt then outstanding and, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, any interest payments not paid when the same becomes due shall bear interest payable upon demand by Buyers at a rate which is 2.0% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement (the “Default Rate”). In addition, all other amounts due to any Buyer (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, if not paid when due or, in the event no time period is expressed, if not paid within five days after written notice from such Buyer that the same has become due, shall thereafter bear interest at the foregoing Default Rate. Finally, any amount due on the Maturity Date which is not then paid shall also bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.

(iv) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term of the Notes. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Notes, the parties hereto agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the Company by each Buyer (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Company by each Buyer).

- 4 -

(g) Payments. The Company agrees that matters concerning prepayments, payments and application of payments shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(iv) Application of Payments. All payments received by a Buyer from or on behalf of the Company shall be applied first to amounts due to the Buyer to reimburse Reimbursable Expenses, if applicable, second to accrued interest under the Note held by such Buyer, and third to principal amounts outstanding under the Note.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Company refuses or fails to execute or deliver any reasonably requested Additional Documents within a reasonable period of time following the request to do so, the Company hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the Company's or its Subsidiary's name, as applicable, and authorizes Collateral Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall take such actions as Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the

- 31 -

previous sentence, any claim for indemnification hereunder asserted in writing on or before the applicable deadline described in the preceding sentence shall survive, and the representation, warranty, covenant and/or agreement referenced in such claim shall survive for purposes of such claim, until finally resolved or judicially determined.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(n) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Buyer to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors, and has not relied upon or consulted any legal, financial or other advisors to the Company. The Company has elected to provide all Buyers with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Buyers.

The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Section, schedule, exhibit, recital and party references are to this Agreement unless otherwise stated. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or provision of this Agreement, and reference to a particular section of this Agreement shall include all subsections thereof. No party, nor its counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions of this Agreement. The terms “include,” “includes” and “including” as used in this Agreement shall mean “include, without limitation,” “includes, without limitation” and “including, without limitation,” respectively, and shall not be deemed to indicate an exhaustive enumeration of the items at issue.

- 35 -

Agreement, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require.

(p) Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if the Company notifies the Buyers that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if either Buyer notifies the Company that the Buyers request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then the Buyers and the Company agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Buyers and the Company after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Buyers, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred; provided, further, that any Operating Lease (including any Operating Lease that is amended or replaced after the Closing Date) shall be treated as an Operating Lease for all purposes hereof regardless of any Accounting Change. When used herein, the term "financial statements" shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term "Company" is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(q) Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern.

(r) Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
