(a) Notice. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such proposed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Borrowing being made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date).

Each request for a Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and, if in excess of such amount, in an integral multiple of $250,000; provided that the request for the Borrowing of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date shall be equal to the full amount of the aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments.

-25-

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender before the Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable on such day to Loans. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing is not made available by such Lender within three Business Days of the Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall repay such Lender’s share of such Borrowing (together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable during such period to Loans) to the Administrative Agent not later than three Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent specifying such Lender’s share of such Borrowing that was not made available to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Lender Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date.

(g) Evidence of Indebtedness.

(ii) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

-26-

(iv) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (iii) of this Section 2.02(g) and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern.

In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement at any time (calculated after giving effect to all items charged which constitute “interest” under applicable laws, including fees and margin amounts, if applicable) is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Loans equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Loans if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.

In the event, upon payment in full of the Loans, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Loans is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on its Loans if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on its Loans if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid under this Agreement on its Loans.

In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

Section 2.08 [Reserved].

Section 2.09 Increased Costs Generally. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) 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;

-31-

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Tax of any kind whatsoever (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Borrowings, loan principal, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender, such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.10 Payments and Computations.

(a) Payment Procedures. Except for payments of PIK Interest, Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the

-32-

Administrative Agent to the Borrower in immediately available funds. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each Loan shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid in Dollars. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, cash interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, or a specific Lender pursuant to 2.08 or 2.11, but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 10.04) (i) before acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 or 7.03, in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and (ii) after the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 or 7.03, in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Offices, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(d) Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.11 the term “applicable Legal Requirements” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If any applicable Legal Requirements (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such

-33-

deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes hereunder unless such Recipient shall make written demand on Borrower for such reimbursement no later than twelve (12) months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

-34-

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (A) through (E) and of this subsection (g)(ii) and clause (g)(iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

-35-

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 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 the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

(E) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(F) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

-36-

(h) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(i) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(j) On or before the date that Cortland (or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrower with a copy of an (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) such other documentation as will establish that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact in writing, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express

-37-

terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13 Applicable Lending Offices. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Applicable Lending Office selected by such Lender and may change its Applicable Lending Office from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Office and the Loans shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Applicable Lending Office. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower designate replacement or additional Applicable Lending Offices through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account repayments are to be made (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Loan shall not be assigned pursuant such notice and shall be held by such Lender).

Section 2.14 [Reserved].

Section 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06, delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Assignment

-38-

and Assumption and provided to the Administrative Agent all documents and information required under Section 10.06(b)(iii); (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.08) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Legal Requirements and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Majority Lenders and Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent

-39-

jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Required Lender and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

THE GUARANTY

Section 8.01 Liabilities Guaranteed. Each Guarantor hereby, joint and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment at maturity of the Obligations.

Section 8.02 Nature of Guaranty. This guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable, completed and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection, and no notice of the Obligations or any extension of credit already or hereafter contracted by or extended to the Borrower need be given to any Guarantor. This guaranty may not be revoked by any Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by such Guarantor and shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto no Obligations may be outstanding. The Borrower and the Secured Parties may modify, alter, rearrange, extend for any period and/or renew from time to time, the Obligations, and the Secured Parties may waive any Default or Events of Default without notice to any Guarantor and in such event each Guarantor will remain fully bound hereunder on the Obligations. This guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any of the Secured Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. This guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and any subsequent authorized assignee of this Agreement and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest and dishonor, notice of Default or Event of Default, and also notice of acceptance of this guaranty, acceptance on the part of the Secured Parties being conclusively presumed by the Secured Parties’ request for this guaranty and the Guarantors’ being party to this Agreement.

Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices any Guarantor or increases the likelihood that any Guarantor will be required to pay the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of each Guarantor that each Guarantor shall be obligated to joint and severally pay the Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations.

Section 8.09 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.

(a) As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower to any Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the Borrower or such Subsidiary thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by any Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise as a result of such Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 8.09, whether or not the Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when it shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 8.09 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

(c) Upon any distribution of assets of any Loan Party in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

(i) The Secured Parties shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Obligations before the Borrower or any Guarantor is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Guarantor Claims.

-76-

(ii) Any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Borrower or any Guarantor would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 8.09(c), shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Secured Parties, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to the Secured Parties.

(d) No right of the Secured Parties or any other present or future holders of any Obligations to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Borrower or any Guarantor with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, as debtor, the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Secured Parties. Should the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party receive, for application upon the Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Guarantor, and which, as between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and any Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of the Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Secured Parties on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which would have been unpaid if any Secured Party had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 8.11 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstanding Sections 8.09 and 8.10 above, any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, such Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for the Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Administrative Agent, and each Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.12 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Article VIII are for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors, and their permitted transferees, endorsees and assigns. In the event all or any part of the Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by the Secured Parties, as the case may be, to any Person or Persons in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any reference to the “Secured Parties” herein, as the case may be, shall be deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.

This Article VIII shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective in the event any petition is filed by or against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, in the event that any of them becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or in the event a receiver, trustee or similar Person is appointed for all or any significant part of any of their assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Secured Parties, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 8.14 Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary of the Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary of the Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.

Section 8.15 Guarantor’s Enforcement Rights. No Guarantor shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any lien, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower held by Guarantor.

Section 8.16 Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Article VIII on any date shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not, on such date, render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other comparable provisions of applicable law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), but only to the extent that any Fraudulent Transfer Law has been found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to such obligations as of such date, in each case:

(a) after giving effect to all liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws, but specifically excluding:

(i) any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or other Affiliates of the Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder;

-78-

(ii) any liabilities of such Guarantor under this Article VIII; and

(iii) any liabilities of such Guarantor under each of its other guarantees of and joint and several co-borrowings of Debt, in each case entered into on the Closing Date, which contain a limitation as to maximum amount substantially similar to that set forth in this Section 8.16 (each such other guarantee and joint and several co-borrowing entered into on the Closing Date, a “Competing Guarantee”) to the extent such Guarantor’s liabilities under such Competing Guarantee exceed an amount equal to (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Guarantor’s obligations under such Competing Guarantee (notwithstanding the operation of that limitation contained in such Competing Guarantee that is substantially similar to this Section 8.16), multiplied by (y) a fraction (I) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such Guarantor’s obligations under such Competing Guarantee (notwithstanding the operation of that limitation contained in such Competing Guarantee that is substantially similar to this Section 8.16), and (II) the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under all other Competing Guarantees (notwithstanding the operation of those limitations contained in such other Competing Guarantees that are substantially similar to this Section 8.16), (B) the aggregate principal amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Article VIII (notwithstanding the operation of this Section 8.16, and (C) the aggregate principal amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under such Competing Guarantee (notwithstanding the operation of that limitation contained in such Competing Guarantee that is substantially similar to this Section 8.16)); and

(b) after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement (including any such right of contribution under Section 8.17).

Section 8.17 Contribution Rights.

(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event a payment shall be made on any date under this Article VIII by any Guarantor (the “Funding Guarantor”), each other Guarantor (each a “Contributing Guarantor”) shall indemnify the Funding Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor as of such date and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Guarantors together with the net worth of the Funding Guarantor as of such date. Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Funding Guarantor pursuant to this Section 8.17 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Funding Guarantor to the extent of such payment.

(b) This Section 8.17 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors and nothing set forth in this Section 8.17 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-79-

(c) The rights of the parties under this Section 8.17 shall be exercisable upon the date the Obligations shall be paid and satisfied in full, the Commitments have been terminated, and each Guarantor shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the right of indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of any Guarantor to which such indemnification is owing.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Cortland to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity, if applicable, as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include, if applicable, the Person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be

-80-

expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or similar law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any such law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for

-81-

relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other

-82-

Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Cortland and any successor Administrative Agent shall provide the documentation described in Section 2.11(j) on or before the date on which it becomes an Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.08 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders severally agree to indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties), according to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined as of the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time (or if such indemnity payment is sought after the date on which the Loans have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share immediately prior to the date on which the Loans are paid in full and the Commitments have terminated)), and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities in all cases, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY RELATED PARTY; provided, however that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Related Party for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Related Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time (or if such unreimbursed expense payment is sought after the date on which the Loans have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share immediately prior to the date on which the Loans are paid in full and the Commitments have terminated)) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent that the administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such by the Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. Each

-83-

Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.08.

Section 9.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its discretion, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties:

(i) to release (A) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document and (B) any Guarantor from this Agreement (including the Guaranty set forth in Article VIII hereof) (1) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (2) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (3) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain Acceptable Security Interests in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents;

(iii) to take any action in exigent circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements;

(iv) [reserved]; and

(v) to release (and execute any and all documents effecting such release) any Lien on all real property of any Loan Party upon the request of any Loan Party.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.09.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as such Loan Party’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority to, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, act for such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party to, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Loan Party where permitted by law, to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper which are part of the Collateral, and to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

-84-

(d) If any Loan Party fails to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement or the other Security Documents and, as a result an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within five (5) Business Days after being given prior notice thereof, the Administrative Agent may itself (but shall not be obligated to) perform, or cause performance of, such covenant, and such Loan Party shall pay for the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith in accordance with Section 10.04.

(e) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Security Documents are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Beyond the safe custody thereof, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of the Administrative Agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee, broker or other agent or bailee selected by Borrower or selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith.

(f) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding other than the rights of setoff set forth in Section 7.05 and any other similar rights of setoff contained in any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party other than the Administrative Agent shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, is hereby authorized and instructed to enter into an intercreditor agreement (which may be a new intercreditor agreement or an amendment to, or an amendment and restatement of, the Intercreditor Agreement) and the Secured Parties party hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Secured Party party hereto hereby (1) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (2) agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (3) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

(c) Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such

-87-

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

THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH LENDER AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES FROM ALL LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM THE RELIANCE BY SUCH PERSON ON EACH NOTICE PURPORTEDLY GIVEN BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(e) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet.

Each other Lender may change its address, electronic mail address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other

-88-

communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 10.04 Costs and Expenses.

-89-

Loan Document, or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom , (c) any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE), (d) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (e) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, IN EACH CASE, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND 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 OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THIS SECTION 10.05 SHALL BE PAYABLE WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS AFTER DEMAND THEREFOR. THE AGREEMENTS IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY LENDER, THE TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS AND THE REPAYMENT, SATISFACTION OR DISCHARGE OF ALL THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS. THIS SECTION 10.05 SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY NON-TAX CLAIM.

Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their

-90-

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (A) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (B) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (C) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Loans of such Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance; and

(iii) each Eligible Assignee (other than an Eligible Assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall pay to the Administrative Agent a $3,500 processing and recording fee. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, any tax forms required under Section 2.11, and all documentation and other information requested by the Administrative Agent in order to comply with requirements of the Act, applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto for all purposes and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) such assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such Lender’s rights and

-91-

obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.11, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its office located in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to (and stated interest thereon), each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s 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 (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 and (iv)

-92-

the selling Lender shall obtain from such Participant the Tax forms described in Section 2.11(g). 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 10.04 and 10.05 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 7.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Participant Payments. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

Section 10.07 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents and service providers, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable

-93-

laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information shall be assumed to be confidential unless indicated otherwise. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 10.08 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.09 Survival of Representations, Etc. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

Section 10.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-94-

Section 10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

Section 10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the state of Texas sitting in Xxxxxx County or of the United States for the Southern District of such state, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender consents, for itself and in respect of its Property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of any Loan Document or other document related thereto. Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by the law of such state.

(b) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(c) Nothing in this Section 10.12 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party (as a Borrower or as a Guarantor) in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.13 Dispute Resolution. This Section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.

(a) Jury Trial Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, each party hereto waives its respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any Dispute, and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration (“Arbitration Order”).

(b) Arbitration. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of the parties hereto whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any party hereto may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party hereto. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.

-95-

Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations the parties hereto have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving the employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of any party hereto. However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, each party hereto will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in Houston, Texas.

After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (A) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (B) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (C) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.

Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.

-96-

Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator’s rules, this arbitration provision shall control.

(c) Class Action Waiver. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE AS A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

(d) Reliance. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this Section.

Section 10.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

Section 10.15 [Reserved].

Section 10.16 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 10.17 [Reserved].

Section 10.18 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to the extensions of credit contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender has advised or is currently advising such Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party other than the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender have provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the extensions of credit contemplated hereby and each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that the Administrative Agent any Lender, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Loan Party in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

-97-

Section 10.19 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Each Lender hereunder (i) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as Administrative Agent and on behalf of such Lender and (iv) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Intercreditor Agreement, the foregoing does not limit any rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as unsecured creditors.

Section 10.20 Original Issue Discount. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date and the Warrants constitute “Investment Units” as that term is defined in section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and that the warrants have a value as set forth on Exhibit E of the Warrant Purchase Agreement. None of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Lenders shall take any position inconsistent with the foregoing on any report, return claim for refund or other filing for federal, state or other tax purposes unless all such parties agree otherwise or as otherwise may be required (to the satisfaction of all such parties, each in its reasonable discretion) by applicable law. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender additionally acknowledge that the Initial Term Loans are issued with original issue discount. If a Lender requests information regarding the issue price, the total amount of original issue discount, the issue date and the yield to maturity of the note, the Lender should contact Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Delayed Draw Lender (i) anticipate that any Delayed Draw Term Loan will be treated as a qualified reopening (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-2(k)) of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) acknowledge than any Delayed Draw Term Loan will be treated as issued with original issue discount.

(a) UCC Remedies. To the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall), subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). This Pledge Agreement shall not be construed to authorize the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to take any action prohibited by the UCC or to constitute a waiver by the Pledgor of any right that the UCC does not permit the Pledgor to waive.

(b) Dividends and Other Rights.

(i) Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent so elects, with the concurrence of, or shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, and gives written notice of such election to Pledgor and all rights of Pledgor to receive the dividends and other distributions on or in respect of the Collateral and the proceeds of sale of the Collateral which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) shall cease at such time as the Administrative Agent gives written notice to Pledgor and such written notice is deemed effective pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement related to effectiveness of notices.

(ii) All dividends and other distributions on or in respect of the Collateral and the proceeds of sale of the Collateral that are thereafter received by Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall be promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Page 6

(c) Sale of Collateral. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, sell all or part of the Collateral at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable in accordance with applicable laws. Each Pledgor agrees that to the extent permitted by law such sales may be made without notice. If notice is required by law, each Pledgor hereby deems 10 days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made reasonable notification, recognizing that if the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market shorter notice may be reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall not, if it is directed by the Required Lenders not to do so, be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in all respects in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Collateral. In addition, each Pledgor shall fully comply with federal and state securities laws and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to permit the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities representing the Collateral in compliance with such laws.

(d) Exempt Sale. If, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, there is any question that a public or semipublic sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law, the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders (i) offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will agree to the imposition of restrictive legends on any certificates representing the security, or (ii) sell such securities in an intrastate offering under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be not “commercially reasonable” solely because so made. Each Pledgor shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent (or any officer or employee or agent thereof) in all reasonable respects in selling or realizing upon all or any part of the Collateral.

(e) Application of Collateral. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of any sale, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pledged by any Pledgor shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.

Page 7

(f) Cumulative Remedies. Each right, power and remedy herein specifically granted to the Administrative Agent or otherwise available to it shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and each such right, power and remedy, whether specifically granted herein or otherwise existing, may be exercised at any time and from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) in its (or their) sole discretion. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any such right, power or remedy, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 6. Administrative Agent as Attorney-in-Fact for Pledgors.

(a) Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or employee or agent thereof as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to act for such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, subject to such Pledgor’s revocable rights specified in Section 2(d), to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, indorse, and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral, or any distribution in respect of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST.

(b) Administrative Agent May Perform. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Pledgor agrees hereunder to perform and which such Pledgor shall fail to perform within five (5) Business Days after being requested in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and after notice thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to such Pledgor) and the Administrative Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein, the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of Base Rate Advances, shall be payable by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.

(c) Administrative Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the

Page 8

accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

(d) Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Expenses.

(b) Amendments, Etc.

In addition, no such amendment or waiver shall be effective unless given or entered into with the necessary approvals of either the Required Lenders or all Lenders as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement. Any such waiver or consent, whether by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause, when any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits held by such Lender under this Pledge Agreement. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, deliver all Collateral to the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing and take any other actions reasonably requested to evidence or effect such termination.

(e) Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby waives:

(g) Choice of Law. This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.

(p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing and all books and records relating to each of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the grant of a security interest as herein provided shall not extend to any property in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest if and to the extent that (a) such grant of a security interest is prohibited by a Governmental Authority or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority, (b) such grant would constitute a grant of a security interest in (i) more than 65% of the voting Equity Interests or 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests of any First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO or (ii) any United States intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law, provided that upon submission and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of an amendment to allege use pursuant to 15 U.S.C.

(a) Grantors Remain Liable. It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not have any obligations or liabilities under any Contract or License by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, of a security interest therein or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or License, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(b) Direct Collection. The Administrative Agent also may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, at any time after the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, any Event of Default, after first notifying any Grantor of its intention to do so, open such Grantor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due from Account Debtors to such Grantor, and, if such Grantor shall fail to act in accordance with the following sentence, notify Account Debtors of such Grantor, parties to the Contracts with such Grantor, obligors of Instruments of such Grantor and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of such Grantor that the Accounts and the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under such Contracts, such Instruments and such Chattel Paper have been assigned to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, or to a lockbox designated by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders made at any time after the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, each Grantor will so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper. The Administrative Agent also may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, at any time, with the consent of the applicable Grantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or if an Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing, in which case such consent is not necessary), in its own name or in the name of such Grantor, communicate with such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper to verify with such Persons to the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments or Chattel Paper.

Page 8

item of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest hereunder, having good and sufficient title thereto, or a valid interest as a lessee or licensee thereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens (except Permitted Liens), and, in the case of Patents and Trademarks, free and clear of Licenses, registered user agreements and covenants not to xxx third Persons. No amounts payable under or in connection with any of its Accounts or Contracts are evidenced by Instruments in excess of $100,000 that have not been delivered to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) No Other Security Agreement. Except for the First Lien Security Agreement, no effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed by a Grantor in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Security Agreement and except such as may have been filed to evidence Permitted Liens.

(c) Financing Statements. Upon the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule I hereto, this Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing lien on and perfected security interest in the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon such filing, the notation of the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, lien on all certificates of title with respect to Certificated Equipment and the execution and delivery of Account Control Agreements among the applicable Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the financial institutions listed on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement, all action requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as necessary or desirable to protect and perfect such security interest in each item of the Collateral will have been duly taken.

(d) Locations. The Administrative Agent (and its designees) is expressly authorized to file UCC-1 Financing Statements and all other necessary documentation to perfect the security interests hereunder on behalf of each Grantor and for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in this Security Agreement or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Grantor or contain such other descriptions of the Collateral as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders), in its (or their) sole judgment, deems necessary or advisable. Such Grantor hereby ratifies each such financing statement and any and all financing statements filed prior to the date hereof by the Administrative Agent (or its designees). Each Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization is set forth on Schedule II hereto, and each Grantor will not change such jurisdiction of organization unless it has taken such action (if any) as is necessary to cause the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral to continue to be perfected and has given thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. Any new jurisdiction of organization shall be within the United States of America.

(e) Patents. The Patents (if any) and, to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, any patents in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to the Patent Licenses are subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable; each of the Patents and, to the

Page 9

best of such Grantor’s knowledge, any patent in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to Patent Licenses are valid and enforceable; no claim has been made that the use of any of the Patents or any patent in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to the Patent Licenses does or may violate the rights of any third person; and such Grantor shall take all reasonable actions necessary to insure that the Patents and any patents in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to the Patent Licenses remain valid and enforceable; except, in each case, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Trademarks. The Trademarks (if any) and, to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, any trademarks in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to Trademark Licenses are subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable; each of the Trademarks and, to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, any trademark in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to Trademark Licenses is valid and enforceable; no claim has been made that the use of any of the Trademarks or any trademark in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to the Trademark Licenses does or may violate the rights of any third person; upon registration of its Trademarks, such Grantor will use for the duration of this Security Agreement, proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the Trademarks; and such Grantor will use, for the duration of this Security Agreement, consistent standards of quality in its manufacture of products sold under the Trademarks and any trademarks in which such Grantor has been granted rights pursuant to the Trademark Licenses; except, in each case, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Tradenames; Prior Names. Such Grantor has not conducted business under any name other than its name listed on its signature page below during the last five years prior to the date of this Security Agreement.

Section 5. Covenants. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are fully satisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the Commitments have terminated or expired:

(a) Further Documentation; Pledge of Instruments. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further action as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably deem necessary to perfect the liens created by this Security Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation using its reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, of any License or Contract held by such Grantor or in which such Grantor has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected only by possession),

Page 10

placing the interest of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as lienholder on the certificate of title of any vehicle and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees. Such Grantor hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent (or its designees) to file any financing or continuation statement relating to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law. Such Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed by the Administrative Agent (or its designees) in any filing office. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument or Document in excess of $100,000, other than in the ordinary course of business, such Instrument or Document shall be immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, shall be duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Grantor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in and to Grantor’s rights under the Chattel Paper, Contracts, Documents, General Intangibles and Instruments and to the Equipment and Inventory and in and to the Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c) Maintenance of Insurance. Such Grantor will maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, casualty and liability insurance policies with respect to the Collateral which conform in all respects to the requirements of the Credit Agreement in respect thereof.

(d) Limitations on Disposition. Such Grantor will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt or contract to do so except as may be expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly and subject to Section 6(a) with respect to Certificated Equipment, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that a Grantor may reasonably request in writing in order to release its security interest in any Collateral which is disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(e) Right of Inspection. The Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Secured Parties) shall at all times have the rights of inspection set forth in the Credit Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and its representatives shall also have the right, with reasonable notice and at all reasonable times during normal business hours, to enter into and upon any premises where any of the Equipment or Inventory is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.

Page 11

(f) Continuous Perfection. Such Grantor will not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner which might make any financing or continuation statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC (or any other then applicable provision of the UCC) unless such Grantor shall have given the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all action (or made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change if it is impossible to take such action in advance) necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to amend such financing statement or continuation statement so that it is not seriously misleading.

(g) Consignment of Inventory. Except as specified on Schedule III, such Grantor shall not, at any time during the term of this Security Agreement, place any Inventory on consignment with any Person.

Section 6. Covenants Regarding Specific Collateral. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are fully satisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations) or expired and the Commitments have terminated or expired:

(a) Covenants Related to Certificated Equipment.

(i) Each Grantor shall cause all Certificated Equipment to be properly titled in the name of the appropriate Grantor and to have the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, Lien granted hereunder on such Certificated Equipment properly noted on the certificate of title with respect thereof and, except as provided in Section 6(a)(ii) below or where an applicable jurisdiction has adopted an electronic certificate of title system and will not issue physical certificates of title, shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, (or the First Lien Agent, pursuant to terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) after such notation is completed the certificate of title with respect thereto. Subject to the terms of this Security Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall provide to the Custodians a power of attorney, effective for the period that the security interest granted hereunder is effective, to execute all documents and instruments necessary to have the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, Lien granted hereunder properly noted on the certificate of title with respect to Certificated Equipment.

(ii) Until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders otherwise notifies the Borrower and each applicable Custodian, the certificates of title with respect to each item of Certificated Equipment with a net book value less than $100,000, shall be maintained by a Custodian at the Borrower’s offices located in Houston, Texas or at the applicable Grantor’s offices where records for Collateral are kept (as identified in Schedule III hereto) or such other office as may be agreed to in writing between such Grantor and the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. With respect to items of Certificated Equipment with a net book value less than S100,000 to be sold or otherwise transferred in the

Page 12

ordinary course of business, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the Grantors’ expense, provide to each Custodian a power of attorney which shall be revocable by the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, at any time without cause upon notice to the Borrower and each applicable Custodian. Such power of attorney shall authorize the Custodians, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to execute all documents and instruments necessary to release the security interest granted hereunder with respect to items of Certificated Equipment with a net book value less than $100,000 which are to be sold or transferred in the ordinary course of business and in the aggregate net book value not to exceed S250,000 during any six-month reporting period described in Section 6(a)(iv) below. If the Grantors desire to sell or transfer more than $250,000 of net book value in the aggregate of items of Certificated Equipment with individual net book values less than $100,000 in any such six-month period, the Grantors may request in writing a power of attorney from the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall authorize the Custodians to execute on behalf of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, all documents and instruments necessary to release the security interest granted hereunder with respect to such additional Certificated Equipment. Such request by the Grantors shall describe the Certificated Equipment to be sold or transferred and certify the aggregate net book value of such Certificated Equipment and certify that such Certificated Equipment are being sold or transferred in the ordinary course of business. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such sale or transfer is otherwise permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, promptly deliver to the applicable Custodians the requested additional power of attorney which shall be effective only as to the additional Certificated Equipment described in the written request therefore.

(iii) If any individual holding a power of attorney provided by the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder resigns as a Custodian under the Custodial Agreement or ceases to be an employee of the Borrower or the applicable Grantor (any such event being, the “Termination”), the Borrower or such applicable Grantor shall provide prompt written notice of such Termination to the Administrative Agent. Upon such Termination, the Borrower may designate an agent (who is an employee of the applicable Grantor and who is approved by the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) in its (or their) sole discretion), who has executed and delivered a Custodial Agreement, to hold a power of attorney in replacement of such terminated Custodian. If a Termination has occurred and no replacement Custodian is designated in accordance with the terms hereof, then at the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lender’s request the applicable Grantor shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, all certificates of title with respect to Certificated Equipment constituting Collateral which are in such Grantor’s possession. Upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lender’s request at any time during the course of this Security Agreement, the Grantors shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, all certificates of title with respect to Certificated Equipment constituting Collateral which are in any Grantor’s (or the applicable Custodian’s) possession.

(iv) The Borrower, on behalf of the Grantors, shall, within 30 days following the last day of each six-month period commencing December 31, 2016, provide to the

Page 13

Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a written report or reports listing all of the Grantors’ Certificated Equipment which constitute Collateral and if applicable, a detailing of the acquisitions, sales, assignments and other transfers and reading of such Certificated Equipments during such six-month period.

(v) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GRANTORS’ INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS PROVIDED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR SHALL DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH SECURED PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR IN ANY WAY INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY A CUSTODIAN, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ACTION OR OMISSION WAS TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN AS A RESULT OF THE CUSTODIAN’S NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; PROVIDED THAT, THIS INDEMNITY BY THE GRANTORS SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY ACTION OR OMISSION BY A CUSTODIAN THAT IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED SECURED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR BAD FAITH.

(b) Covenants Relating to Accounts, Etc.

(iii) The Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, may rely, in determining the collateral value to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, of the Accounts from time to time, on all statements or representations made by such Grantor on or with respect to the Accounts in any certificate, schedule or report and, unless otherwise indicated in writing by such Grantor, may assume that, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (A) they are genuine, are in all respects what they purport to be; are not evidenced by a judgment and if Chattel Paper or Instruments are only evidenced by one, if any, executed original instrument, agreement, contract, or document, which, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in the case of any Chattel Paper or Instruments in an amount in excess of $100,000, and without violating the rights of the holders of any Permitted Liens senior to the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, security interest hereunder, has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable

(c) Covenants Relating to Inventory. Unless otherwise indicated in writing by such Grantor, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, may assume that: (i) all Inventory is either (A) located at places of business or Collateral locations listed on Schedule III attached hereto or (B) is Inventory in transit from one such place of business or Collateral location to another; (ii) no Inventory is subject to any lien or security interest whatsoever, except for those granted to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder and Permitted Liens; (iii) except as specified on Schedule III hereto, no Inventory is now, and shall not at any time or times hereafter be, kept, stored or maintained with a bailee, warehouseman or similar party; and (iv) except as specified on Schedule III hereto, none of such Inventory has been consigned, or, without the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ prior written consent, will be consigned to any Person, except in conformity with subsection (c) below.

(iii) Such Grantor, consistent with the reasonable conduct and protection of its business, will take all reasonable actions to prosecute vigorously each application and to attempt to obtain the broadest Patent or registration of a Trademark therefrom and to maintain each Patent and Trademark registration which is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, including, without limitation, with respect to Patents, payments of required maintenance fees, and, with respect to Trademarks, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability. In the event that such Grantor fails to take any of such actions, the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, do so in such Grantor’s name or in the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, name and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by such Grantor in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

In the event that such Grantor fails to take any such actions the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, do so in such Grantor’s name or the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, name and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by Grantor in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

(h) Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $250,000, then such Grantor shall within five (5) days of obtaining such interest sign and deliver documentation acceptable to the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders granting a security interest to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in and to such Commercial Tort Claim under the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

Section 7. Reporting and Record Keeping. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the Secured Obligations are fully satisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the Commitments have terminated or expired:

(a) Maintenance of Records Generally. Such Grantor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including, without limitation, a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral. All Chattel Paper will be marked with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as the Administrative Agent.” If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be noted on the certificate of title of each vehicle. For the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, further security, such Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a special property interest in all of such Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral and, upon the continuation of any Event of Default, such Grantor shall deliver and turn over copies of any such books and records to the Administrative Agent or to its representatives at any time on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

(b) Special Provisions Regarding Maintenance of Records.

(i) Such Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such reports and schedules with respect to the Accounts as shall be required by the Credit Agreement, and upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, invoice registers and copies (or originals to the extent necessary or advisable for the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to collect on Accounts after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default), of all invoices, shipping receipts, orders and other documents relating to the creation of the Accounts listed on such certificates, reports and schedules. Such Grantor shall keep complete and accurate records of its Accounts.

(ii) Such Grantor shall keep correct and accurate records, itemizing and describing the kind, type, location and quantity of Inventory, and the withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto, and shall provide to the Administrative Agent such reports and schedules with respect to the Inventory as shall be required by the Credit Agreement.

(iii) Such Grantor shall maintain accurate, itemized records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quantity and value of its Equipment and shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a current schedule containing the foregoing information if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (but, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such reports may be requested not more frequently than annually).

(c) Further Identification of Collateral. Such Grantor will, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, furnish to the Administrative Agent, as often as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(d) Notices. In addition to the notices required by Section 7(b) hereof, such Grantor will advise the Administrative Agent in writing promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any lien, security interest, encumbrance or claim (other than Permitted Liens) made or asserted against any of the Collateral, (ii) of any change in the composition of the Collateral occurring outside the ordinary course of business, and (iii) of the occurrence of any other event which has a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Collateral.

Section 8. The Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or employee or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lenders reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Administrative Agent and any officer or employee or agent thereof the power and right (but without any obligation of the Administrative Agent to do so), on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the following:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought

Page 19

against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem appropriate; (G) to license or, to the extent permitted by an applicable license, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any patent or trademark, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders) shall in its (or their) sole discretion determine; and (H) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lenders option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, Lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it will not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Administrative Agent and any officer or employee or agent thereof pursuant to this Section 8 except for the rights granted under clause (ii) of paragraph (a) above. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 8 IS A POWER COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE.

(c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and any officer or employee or agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

(d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and any officer or employee or agent thereof, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) to communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 10 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

Section 9. Performance by the Administrative Agent of Grantor’s Obligations. If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein within five (5)

Page 20

Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall (without any obligation to do so) itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of Base Rate Advances, shall be payable by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.

Section 10. Remedies and Rights Upon Default. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, (a) if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker;s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as provided in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent need not give more than ten (10) days’ notice (which notification shall be deemed given when delivered on an

Page 21

overnight basis or received by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower at its address for notices referred to in Section 14 hereof) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it is directed by the Required Lenders not to do so, regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may, with the concurrence of, and shall, at the written direction of, the Required Lenders, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using 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.

(b) Each Grantor also agrees to pay all reasonable and out-of-pocket costs of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.

(c) Each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral, except for any notices which are expressly required to be given under the Credit Agreement or hereunder.

(d) The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(e) The Administrative Agent and its agents may, and shall, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, enter upon and occupy any real property owned or leased by any Grantor in order to exercise any of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Security Agreement, without any obligation to such Grantor in respect of such entry or occupation.

(f) The Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable Legal Requirement in connection with a disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to marshal any of the Collateral.

(h) If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Grantor will be credited only with cash payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser of any Collateral fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may, and at the written direction of the Required Lenders, resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with the proceeds of sale.

(i) Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay in full the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

Page 22

Section 11. Grant of License to Use Patent and Trademark Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 10 hereof at such time as the Administrative Agent, without regard to this Section 11, shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies under Section 10, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or (to the extent permitted without causing a breach) sublicense any Patent or Trademark, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

Section 12. Limitation on the Administrative Agent’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to which it accords its own property. The Administrative Agent shall account to each Grantor for any moneys received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.

Section 13. Term of Agreement; Reinstatement. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and the security interests granted hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations are fully satisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations) or expired and the Commitments have terminated or expired. Further, this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Page 23

Section 14. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other party any other communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be delivered in the manner and to the addresses set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 15. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Administrative Agent, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not, unless and except to the extent (if any) otherwise expressly provided therein, be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Administrative Agent and, where applicable, by each Grantor.

Section 17. Successor and Assigns; Governing Law.

(a) This Security Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Grantors may assign or delegate any of their rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders). No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder.

(b) This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “UCC” contained herein.

Page 24

Section 18. Use and Protection of Patent and Trademark Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall from time to time execute and deliver, upon the written request of any Grantor, any and all instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Grantor to permit Grantor to continue to exploit, license, use, enjoy and protect the Patents and Trademarks.

Section 19. Further Indemnification. EACH GRANTOR AGREES TO PAY, AND TO SAVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO, OR RESULTING FROM ANY DELAY IN PAYING, ANY AND ALL EXCISE, SALES OR OTHER SIMILAR TAXES WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE OR DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE COLLATERAL OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

Section 20. Amendments, Etc. Subject in each case to the terms and conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom shall be effective unless made in writing and authenticated by the Borrower, each Grantor affected thereby and the Administrative Agent (at the written direction of all Lenders or the Required Lenders as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement). In addition, no such amendment or waiver shall be effective unless given or entered into with the necessary approvals of either the Required Lenders or all Lenders as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement. Any such waiver or consent, whether by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 21. Entire Agreement. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 22. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Security Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
