(New York City time) on such day.  Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A or another form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed to specify:  (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (iii) in the case of a Borrowing of Initial Loans prior to the Merger Closing Date, detailed calculations of the Blocked Amount (with a breakdown to show the B-1 Blocked Amount, the B-2 Blocked Amount and the Term Loan Blocked Amount).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 12:00 P.M.  (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or, in the case of the Initial Borrowing Date as permitted pursuant to Section 2.03, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time)), each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date.  All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the date of such Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such

38

amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay on demand such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05. Notes.  (a)  The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.  To the extent requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender an Initial Note dated the Initial Borrowing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto to evidence the Initial Loans made by such Lender to Borrower and with appropriate insertions (the “Initial Notes”).  Unless converted to an Exchange Note or if the conditions to extension specified in Section 2.01(b) were not satisfied on the Initial Maturity Date (in which case the Initial Notes shall mature and be payable in cash on such date) and to the extent requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender an Extended Note dated the Initial Maturity Date substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto to evidence the Extended Loan made on such date, in the principal amount of the Initial Notes of Borrower held by such Lender on such date and with other appropriate insertions (collectively, the “Extended Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes.  No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement,

39

and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Bridge Loan Documents.  Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b).  At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. [Intentionally Omitted].

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings.  All Borrowings of Initial Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments.  It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest.  (a)  [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest (x) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Initial Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period, be equal to the sum of the relevant Spread as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; provided that the per annum interest rate on the Initial Loans shall not exceed the Cap Rate; and (y) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Extended Loan from the Initial Maturity Date until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Cap Rate.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise then applicable to such Loan and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any Initial Loans remain outstanding after the Initial Maturity Date (i.e., if one or more of the conditions to conversion into Extended Loans set forth in Section 2.01(b) are not satisfied), same will at all times thereafter accrue interest at the rate described in the immediately preceding sentence.  Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable, in respect of each Loan, (w) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (x) in arrears on the Initial Maturity Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loans (on the amount repaid or prepaid) and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. [Intentionally Omitted].

40

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.  In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i)(A) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent, and with respect to clause (i)(B) below may be made only by the Administrative Agent, acting at its own discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, (A) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or (B) the Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of Lenders of funding such Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to:  (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the Eurodollar Rate with respect to such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such Loan);

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the affected Borrowing shall bear interest at such rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2.08, except that, for each affected Lender, its cost of funds (as determined by it) shall be used in lieu of the Eurodollar Rate as a component of determining the applicable interest rate.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 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 or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or

41

reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11. Compensation.  The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 12) occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender.

2.12. Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders.  (x)  If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or other compensation in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 14.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.04(b) to be

42

paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Borrower (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower and the Replacement Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and in connection therewith, shall pay to  the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Replaced Lender; and

(b) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a)  The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:  (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Loans, which notice shall specify the amount of such prepayment and the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case), (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (iv) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to the then outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, voluntary prepayments of Loans may not be made on or prior to the Merger Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead Arranger and the First Lien Lead Arrangers.  Each notice given pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment of Loans may state that the respective notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of an issuance of Equity Interests by Holdings or one or more issues of Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

45

the holders thereof have declined to participate in an offer to purchase or otherwise), then within 5 Business Days after it is determined that such amount will not be so applied, the respective amount shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.02(d) (determined without regard to this sentence).

46

jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or resident or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or, in the case of a Lender, applicable lending office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.12), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender pursuant to applicable law in effect on the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto or the date such Foreign Lender designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or Holdings with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (iii) any U.S. backup withholding taxes, (iv) any taxes  imposed as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(b) and (v) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of  Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such Sections, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”).  If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay or to cause a relevant Credit Party to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note.  The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Borrower or Credit Party.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.04(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Borrower held such funds and any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section 5.04(a) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date,

47

(i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. A Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 14.04(b) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of such assignment or transfer two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to establish the entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or such Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).  In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms, certifications and other information as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as applicable) of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) if it is not legally permitted to deliver such forms as a result of a change in law after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 14.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower and Administrative Agent U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms, certificates and

48

information that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms, certificates or other information required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.   Each Administrative Agent and Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 14.04(b) (unless the respective Lender as already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 14.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the second preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

(c) In the event that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any taxes (including any taxes imposed under Section 1471 or 1472 of the Code) from any amounts payable to any Lender on or in respect of any Bridge Loan Document, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall (a) deduct and withhold such tax, (b) pay such tax to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (c) shall promptly furnish to the relevant Lender satisfactory official tax receipts in respect of any payment of taxes.

Additional Collateral; Further Assurances; Etc.  (a)  Subject to applicable law, each Credit Party shall, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, cause each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary, any Inactive Subsidiary and any Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) formed or acquired (or which first becomes such a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) after the date of this Agreement to become a Credit Party (and a party to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement and, if same has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Intercreditor Agreement) by executing a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit M hereto, in each case with such changes as may be reasonably requested by or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) within thirty (30) days (or such longer time period if agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the formation or acquisition thereof or after the first date upon which the respective Subsidiary of such Person becomes a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Bridge Loan Documents and (ii) will grant Liens to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any property of such Credit Party which constitutes Collateral as set forth in, and in accordance with, the Security Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that all actions specified above shall be required to be taken with respect to Target and each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary, any Inactive Subsidiary and any Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) as soon as practicable following the Merger Closing Date, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter or such later date if agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that actions with respect to Target Mortgaged Properties shall be taken as required by the following clause (c).

71

(b) Subject to the time period in which to deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 10.10(a) above, each Credit Party will cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) and (ii) 66% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests in each Foreign Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary), and 100% of the issued and outstanding non-voting Equity Interests in each such Foreign Subsidiary, directly owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor to be subject at all times to a perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bridge Loan Documents or other security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(c) Within 60 days following the Merger Closing Date (or such later date as may reasonably be agreed to by the Administrative Agent, provided one extension of 30 days shall automatically be granted if the applicable Credit Parties are using good faith efforts to satisfy this covenant), Target and its Subsidiaries which are Credit Parties (as required by preceding clause (a)) shall be required to grant Mortgages with respect to each Target Mortgaged Property and, in connection therewith, shall take all the actions specified in Section 6.18 as would have been required if the requested Target Mortgaged Property were an Original Mortgaged Property; provided that the actions required to be taken pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 6.18 shall not be required to be completed until 90 days following the Merger Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

(d) Holdings will, and will cause each Subsidiary that, after the Effective Date, provides security, directly or indirectly, under the First Lien Credit Documents (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect thereof) to pledge its assets that secure the obligations under the First Lien Loans (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect thereof) to secure the Obligations hereunder on at least a second-ranking basis (in relation to the First Lien Indebtedness) in a manner consistent with the Intercreditor Agreement and with the priority contemplated under this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents, in each case pursuant to security documents (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”) which are substantially consistent with those used to create the respective security interests pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents or relevant Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness.

(e) Holdings will, and will cause each of the other Credit Parties to, at the expense of Holdings and the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements, control agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require; provided that the foregoing shall not require actions which are expressly not required to be taken in accordance with the terms of any relevant Security Document or this Agreement.  Furthermore, Holdings will, and will cause the other Credit Parties that are Subsidiaries of Holdings to, deliver to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 10.10 has been complied with or this Agreement.

72

(f) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that they are required by law or regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of Holdings and the other Credit Parties constituting Collateral, Holdings and the Borrower will, at their own expense, provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Holdings and the Borrower agree that each action required by clauses (d) through (f) of this Section 10.10 shall be completed as soon as possible, but, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Security Document or this Agreement, in no event later than 45 days after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or such longer period as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be); provided that in no event will Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties (who are not Subsidiaries of Holdings) with respect to its compliance with this Section 10.10.

(h) If any Foreign Pledge Agreements (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) are executed with respect to the security interests created under the First Lien Credit Documents, then substantially contemporaneously therewith the respective Credit Party or Credit Parties shall execute and deliver substantially similar pledge agreements to secure the Obligations hereunder (each a “Foreign Pledge Agreement” and, collectively, the “Foreign Pledge Agreements”), it being understood and agreed, however, in the case of any Foreign Pledge Agreement entered into by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the respective Credit Party shall not be required to pledge more than 66% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests entitled to vote of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as such for U.S. federal tax purposes) in support of its obligations (x) as a Borrower under the Bridge Loan Agreement (in the case of the Borrower) or (y) under its Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower (in the case of the other Credit Parties) (although 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests, if any, of each such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged in support of such obligations).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.10, except if required pursuant to preceding clause (d)), no Foreign Subsidiary shall guarantee any Obligation of the Borrower and no security or similar interest shall be granted in the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary, which security or similar interest guarantees any Obligation of the Borrower.  In determining whether to require one or more Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above, the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in their sole discretion) consider the costs of the actions required in connection with the execution and delivery of the respective Foreign Pledge Agreements as against the relative value of the security interests and additional protection provided thereby.

(i) To the extent any action which would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Sections 6.10 and 6.18 hereof have not been taken on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date as permitted by Section 6.10(b), then the Borrower shall cause all such actions to be taken as promptly as practicable after the Initial Borrowing Date, provided that in any event such actions shall be required to be completed within (x) 30 days after the Initial Borrowing Date in the case of actions otherwise required under Sections 6.10(a), (y) 60 days after the Initial

73

Borrowing Date in the case of actions required to be taken pursuant to Section 6.18 and (z) 90 days after the Initial Borrowing Date in the case of all actions to be taken pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 6.18, in each case as such dates may be extended (with respect to a given action or actions) at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent.  In determining whether to require one or more Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above, the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in their sole discretion) consider the costs of the actions required in connection with the execution and delivery of the respective Foreign Pledge Agreements as against the relative value of the security interests and additional protection provided thereby.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall not be required to grant Mortgages with respect to any Original Mortgage Tax State Property and, in the case of any Real Properties (other than the Original Mortgage Properties and the Target Mortgage Properties) at any time acquired or owned in one or more Mortgage Tax States, the Credit Parties shall not be required to grant Mortgages therein unless and until such time (if any) as the First-Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) are fully secured to the maximum principal thereof.

10.11. [Intentionally Omitted.]

10.12. Ratings.  Holdings and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain (i) a public corporate family rating of Holdings and a rating of the Loans, in each case from Xxxxx’x, and (ii) a public corporate credit rating of Holdings and a rating of the Loans, in each case from S&P (it being understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall in any event include the payment by Holdings or the Borrower of customary rating agency fees and cooperation with information and data requests by Xxxxx’x and S&P in connection with their ratings process).

10.13. Merger; Target Refinancing.  Holdings and the Borrower hereby agree and covenant to:

(a) consummate the Merger in accordance in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and all applicable law as promptly as practicable and in any event on or prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the 35th day after the 90% Condition has been satisfied and (y) October 15, 2010;

(b) within 50 days after the Merger Closing Date, cause the redemption in full of all then outstanding Target Existing Notes (the “Target Refinancing”), which Target Existing Notes shall at such time be permanently retired; provided that if any Target Existing Notes are outstanding on the Merger Closing Date, Borrower shall cause Target or Target Sub to issue (on the Merger Closing Date) an irrevocable notice of redemption of all then outstanding Target Existing Notes in accordance with the requirements of the indenture governing the Target Existing Notes (the “Target Existing Notes Indenture”) and shall on the Merger Closing Date deposit with the trustee under the Target Existing Notes Indenture cash in the aggregate amount needed to effect such redemptions (including amounts needs for accrued interest and any applicable make whole premiums); and

74

(c) effect the Transaction in all material respects in accordance with the Transaction Summary.

10.14. Securities Demand.  (a)   At any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the Merger Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Merger Closing Date, if and to the extent so directed in a Demand Notice (as defined below) given in accordance with Section 10.14(b) with respect to a private issuance and sale of Securities (as defined below), the Borrower shall provide to the Lead Arranger as soon as reasonably practicable a preliminary offering memorandum usable in a customary high-yield road show relating to the issuance by the Borrower of Securities (including all financial statements and other data to be included therein (including all audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements (each of which unaudited interim financial statements shall have undergone a SAS 100 review)) and all appropriate pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (with such deviations therefrom as may be mutually agreed by Borrower and the Lead Arranger), and substantially all other data (including selected financial data) that the SEC would require in a registered offering; provided that (i) financial information that would be so required by Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X shall not be required in any offering memorandum with respect to Securities and (ii) a consolidating footnote required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X shall not be required in any offering memorandum with respect to Securities so long as the substantive information that would be presented in such footnote is otherwise disclosed in such offering memorandum; and provided further that any offering memorandum with respect to Securities may include information through incorporation by reference to the same extent, and on the same basis, as would be permitted by Section 10.15(b) if such offering memorandum were an offering memorandum for Exchange Notes required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.15(b).

(b) At any time and from time to time during the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Merger Closing Date, upon notice by the Lead Arranger to the Borrower (a “Demand Notice”), the Borrower will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause the public or private issuance and sale of debt securities (such debt securities, the “Securities” and such issuance and sale of debt securities, a “Securities Offering”) in one or more transactions in such amounts and on such terms and conditions (including without limitation covenants, events of default, guarantees, collateral and intercreditor provisions, currency, interest and/or dividend rates, yield, redemption provisions, maturity date and registration rights) as specified in the Demand Notice, in each case, as MS&Co. in its reasonable judgment determines to be appropriate in light of the then prevailing circumstances and market conditions and the financial condition and prospects of Holdings and its Subsidiaries at such time; provided, however, that (a) at the date of issuance of Securities, the weighted average total interest rate on (i) Securities issued to replace or refinance the Loans and Commitments and (ii) the First Lien Loans and commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement, shall not exceed the Total Yield Cap, (b) any securities issued in a public Securities Offering or in a private Securities Offering with registration rights will not, without Holdings’ consent, be secured by the Equity Interests of any of Holdings’ Subsidiaries to the extent that the granting of such security interest would give rise to any requirement to file separate financial statements for such subsidiary with the SEC pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation and (c) each Demand Notice shall provide for not less than $50,000,000 of Securities to be issued.  Any Securities that are the subject of a

75

Demand Notice will be issued pursuant to one or more customary agreements, which, in each case, shall contain such terms, conditions and covenants as are typical and customary for similar financings (as determined by MS&Co.) and as are reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the MS&Co.; provided that (i) the Securities shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) the guarantee structure shall be consistent with that in the Bridge Loan Documents, (iii) the maturity date of the Securities shall not be less than 7 years after the Effective Date, (iv) the Securities shall be unsecured (unless and to the extent otherwise permitted to be secured in accordance with the relevant provisions of the First Lien Credit Documents) and (v) the Securities will not require any scheduled amortization payments, mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments prior to the final stated maturity thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a failure by the Borrower to execute a Securities Offering within 30 days after delivery of a Demand Notice (such 30th day, the “Demand Failure Date”), the Lead Arranger shall have the right to increase the interest rate with respect to the Loans on the Demand Failure Date (and/or any time thereafter) to an amount such that the weighted average total interest rate on such Loans and the First Lien Loans and commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement shall not exceed the Total Yield Cap.

10.15. Exchange Notes; Exchange Notes Indentures; Etc.  (a)   If any Loan remains outstanding at any time on or after the 20th Business Day prior to the Initial Maturity Date then, upon any request by Requesting Bridge Lenders to Exchange at least $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Loans (which request shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Loans then requested to be Exchanged by the Requesting Bridge Lenders) for a like principal amount of Exchange Notes (each a “Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request”), the Borrower agrees to effect such Exchange within 15 Business Days after such request (or, if later, upon the occurrence of the Initial Maturity Date).  Upon its receipt of any Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 3 Business Days) notify the Lenders other than the Requesting Bridge Lenders (each an “Other Lender” and such notice to the Other Lenders the “Other Lender Notice”) of such Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request, of the principal amount of Loans requested to be Exchanged pursuant to such Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request and of the Other Lenders’ opportunity to exchange Loans for Exchange Notes pursuant to the respective Exchange, and to the extent that any Other Lender notifies the Borrower within 10 Business Days after effectiveness of the Other Lender Notice with respect to such Other Lender pursuant to Section 14.03 that such Other Lender elects to include principal of such Other Lender’s Loans in such Exchange, such Other Lender’s Loans shall be so exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to said Exchange.  With respect to notices pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence it is understood and agreed that (i) any Lender may, subject to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence, elect to include all or any portion of the principal of its outstanding Loans in any Exchange, (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Exchange and (iii) if any Lender fails to provide a response to an Other Lender Notice as required above, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the Exchange to which such Other Lender Notice relates.  Loans delivered to the Borrower under this Section 10.15 in exchange for Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders and the corresponding amount of the Loan deemed repaid, and the Exchange Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Notes Indenture.

76

(b) Following its receipt of a Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request, the Borrower agrees, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 20 Business Days after such receipt, to (i) deliver to the respective Requesting Bridge Lenders and all other Lenders participating in the applicable Exchange as well as any then existing holders of Exchange Notes, an offering memorandum of the type customarily utilized in a Rule 144A offering of high yield securities covering the resale of such Exchange Notes by such Lenders or Exchange Note holders, in such form and substance as is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Requesting Bridge Lenders, and (subject to Section 10.15(e)) keep such offering memorandum updated during the first year after the respective Exchange, provided that the Borrower may include information in such offering memorandum by incorporating such information by reference to documents filed with the SEC and may update such offering memorandum through “forward” incorporation by reference to Holdings’ or the Borrower’s filings with the SEC on and after the date of such offering memorandum, and the effect of such incorporation by reference and such updating shall be deemed to be consistent with the manner in which such incorporation by reference and updating would operate pursuant to Rule 412 under the Securities Act if the offering memorandum were a registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) execute an exchange agreement containing provisions customary in Rule 144A securities purchase agreements (including indemnification provisions), if requested by the Requesting Bridge Lenders, (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered such opinions and accountants’ comfort letters addressed to the Requesting Bridge Lenders and such certificates as the Requesting Bridge Lenders may request as would be customary in Rule 144A offerings and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requesting Bridge Lenders and (iv) take such other actions, and cause its advisors, auditors and counsel to take such actions, as are reasonably requested by the Requesting Bridge Lenders in connection with issuances or resales of Exchange Notes, including providing such information regarding the business and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by the Requesting Bridge Lenders and customarily provided in due diligence investigations in connection with purchases of securities by initial purchasers in Rule 144A offerings.  The Borrower shall not be required to act on or respond to any Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Request other than the first four such requests received by the Borrower and shall not be required to undertake the actions specified in the immediately preceding sentence, including clauses (i) through (iv) thereof, or the second sentence of Section 10.15(a) with respect to more than four Requesting Bridge Lenders Exchange Requests in the aggregate.

(c) If any Loans remain outstanding on the date occurring nine calendar months after the Initial Borrowing Date, then the Borrower shall direct the Administrative Agent to prepare the Exchange Notes Indenture and the Administrative Agent agrees to direct its counsel to so prepare the Exchange Notes Indenture.  The terms of the Exchange Notes Indenture shall be consistent with the Description of Exchange Notes, it being understood and agreed that all determinations of market conditions shall be made at such time by the Administrative Agent and shall be binding on the Borrower in each case so long as the respective terms (other than pricing and other financial terms and redemptions provisions) are not more restrictive (as applied to the Borrower) in any material respect then those contained in this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall furnish a draft of the Exchange Notes Indenture to the Borrower within 20 Business Days after the date on which the Borrower directs the Administrative Agent to prepare the Exchange Notes Indenture, and the Borrower shall have an opportunity to comment on same.  Following the receipt of the Borrower’s comments (so long as provided

77

within 10 Business Days or such longer period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and the incorporation of those agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall prepare the final Exchange Notes Indenture, which shall be binding for purposes of this Agreement and shall be the Exchange Notes Indenture pursuant to which Exchange Notes shall be issued if any Exchanges are effected.  The Exchange Notes Indenture shall be finalized on or prior to the date occurring 20 Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, so that same is available for Exchanges which may occur at any time or from time to time on or after the Initial Maturity Date.  Consistent with the foregoing requirements and concurrently therewith, the Administrative Agent shall direct its counsel to prepare a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which shall provide the registration rights described in the Description of Exchange Notes and otherwise be in customary form.  The time periods applicable to the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to delivery of the initial draft to the Borrower, delivery of the Borrower’s comments thereon and finalization (after incorporation of such of the Borrower’s comments as agreed by the Administrative Agent (which agreement with respect to any comment of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld)) shall be the same as those applicable to the Exchange Notes Indenture.  The Administrative Agent shall also have the right to require the execution of any other related customary documentation in connection with the Exchange Notes Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement or any Exchange.  With respect to the Exchange Notes Indenture, the Borrower shall also be required to retain (at its own expense) a trustee (reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to act as such pursuant to the Exchange Notes Indenture.

(d) All costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the forgoing actions required by this Section 10.15 shall be for the account of the Borrower, which shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any expenses so incurred by it as described above in accordance with the requirements of Section 14.01.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon notice to the Lenders that have received an offering memorandum relating to Exchange Securities pursuant to this Section 10.15 (any such notice a “Suspension Notice”), the Borrower may at any time, on one or more occasions, require suspension of the use of all such offering memoranda until the Borrower delivers to such Lenders a Clearance Notice (as defined below) with respect to such suspension (any such period of suspension a “Blackout Period”), provided that all Blackout Periods, in the aggregate, shall not exceed 90 days during any period of 12 consecutive calendar months, if Holdings or the Borrower determines in good faith that (i) it is necessary to update such an offering memorandum and (ii) such update would entail disclosure of information that, directly or indirectly (including through any public disclosure thereof made pursuant to Regulation FD or otherwise), (A) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, (B) could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the success of a transaction or prospective transaction in which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is involved or (C) is prohibited by the terms of an agreement or order to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject.  Upon a Lender’s receipt of any Suspension Notice, such Lender shall discontinue disposition of Exchange Notes pursuant to any offering memorandum relating thereto and shall discontinue dissemination of any offering memorandum relating to Exchange Notes until receipt from the Borrower of notice of termination of the applicable Blackout Period (such notice the “Clearance Notice” with respect to such Blackout Period) and receipt of any updated offering memorandum identified in

78

the Clearance Notice (to the extent applicable to such Lender’s Exchange Notes; provided that no such discontinuance shall be required if, and to the extent, the limitations on the duration of the respective Blackout Period contained above would be exceeded).

SECTION 11. Negative Covenants.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the Total Commitment has terminated and the Loans and Notes (in each case, together with interest thereon), Fees and all other Obligations (other than indemnities that are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full:

SECTION 13. The Administrative Agent; Lead Arranger; Etc.

13.01. Appointment.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint MSSF as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors (for purposes of this Section 13 and Section 14.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include MSSF in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Bridge Loan Documents.  MSSF hereby accepts such appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, subject to its resignation rights provided herein.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the

104

acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

13.02. Nature of Duties.  (a)  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Bridge Loan Documents.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).  The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Bridge Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Bridge Loan Document, the Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Bridge Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 14.01.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

13.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.  Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target and its Subsidiaries) in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target and its Subsidiaries) and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,

perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

13.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.  If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

13.05. Reliance.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Bridge Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

13.06. Indemnification.  To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

13.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities.  The

106

Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

13.08. Holders.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

13.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent.  (a)  The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Bridge Loan Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or (i) then exists, the Borrower.  Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as the Collateral Agent, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent shall no longer act as Collateral Agent, except that, until a successor Administrative Agent (who shall act as Collateral Agent) is appointed as provided below, the resigning Administrative Agent shall continue to act as Collateral Agent for purposes of maintaining the perfection and priority of security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, and which has an office, branch or agency located in New York, New York, which is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s acceptance or approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

107

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Bridge Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 13 (and the analogous provisions of the other Bridge Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

13.10. Collateral Matters.  (a)  Each Lender hereby irrevocably (i) designates and appoints MSSF as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors and (ii) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. MSSF hereby accepts such appointment as Collateral Agent subject to its resignation rights pursuant to Section 13.09.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than unasserted indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Credit Parties) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 11.03, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 14.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or

108

enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 13.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

13.11. Delivery of Information.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign (but not to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof except pursuant to clause (c) below) all or a portion of its Commitments and/or outstanding principal amount of Loans hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Section 12(a) and no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower may otherwise agree) in the aggregate in respect of the Commitments and/or Loans for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01A shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) at any time when both Commitments and Loans are outstanding hereunder, each assignment by a given Lender pursuant to this clause (b) shall be of a like percentage of the Total Commitment and then total outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignments of Commitments pursuant to clause (x) or (y) (such consent, in any case, not to be

112

unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15.  To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and Loans.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms, certificates and other information (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b).  To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) [Intentionally Omitted].

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 14.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), with respect to matters arising while it was a Lender which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.  To the extent any Lender exchanges its Loans (and related Notes) hereunder for Exchange Notes, the Loans and any Notes so exchanged shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the Borrower shall in no event become a Lender hereunder.  To the extent of any such exchange by a Lender hereunder, such Lender shall be relieved of obligations hereunder with respect to the exchanged Loans.  If any Lender exchanges all of its Loans (and related Notes) hereunder pursuant to one or more Exchanges, such Person shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), with respect to matters arising while it was a Lender which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

14.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,

113

power or privilege hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Bridge Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.06. Payments Pro Rata.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Bridge Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to (x) the express provisions of Section 10.15, which permit various Lenders to exchange Loans for Exchange Notes, and (y) the express provisions of Section 14.12(b), which permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein.

14.07. Calculations; Computations.  (a)  The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Excess Cash Flow and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 11.10 through 11.12, inclusive, shall (x) utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 9.04(a) for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009 and (y) be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or

114

any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) All computations of interest and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

14.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES).  ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT THAT, (X) IN THE CASE OF ANY MORTGAGE OR SECURITY DOCUMENT, PROCEEDINGS MAY ALSO BE BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR COLLATERAL AGENT IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE RESPECTIVE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR COLLATERAL IS LOCATED  OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION AND (Y) IN THE CASE OF ANY BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT HOLDING SUCH BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS) SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, IF ANY PARTY HERETO IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO IN THE COURTS SPECIFIED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, THEN SUCH PARTY MAY BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY OVER WHICH IT WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN JURISDICTION AS PROVIDED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT IN WHICH IT IS ABLE TO OBTAIN SUCH JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS DESCRIBED ABOVE LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PERSON, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PERSON.  EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE

14.11. Headings Descriptive.  The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

14.12. Amendment or Waiver; etc.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of following clause (c), neither this Agreement nor any other Bridge Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of or with the consent of the Required Lenders) (except that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may enter into any amendment of any Bridge Loan Document in order to correct any immaterial technical error therein without the consent of the Credit Parties or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) release all or substantially all of (x) the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Bridge Loan Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) the guarantees under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 14.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Loans on the Effective Date), (iii) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans are included on the Effective Date) or (iv) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) without the consent of each Lender with Obligations being directly modified, extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof, (2) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (3) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 13 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or (4) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 14.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents

117

to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination, or (B) terminate such non consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay the outstanding Loans of such Lender, provided that, unless the Commitments which terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.12(a) (unless pursuant to clause (1) thereof).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained above in this Section 14.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, the following modifications may be made, and actions taken, by the Administrative Agent, in each case without the consent of any Credit Party (except as expressly required below) or the Required Lenders or any other group of Lenders (with all capitalized terms used in clauses (i) through (v) below, if not otherwise defined herein, being used herein as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement):

(i) as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, additional Series (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of First-Lien Obligations and Second-Lien Obligations (so long as permitted in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement) may become subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to agree to any technical changes to the Intercreditor Agreement and to execute such joinder agreements with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement as may be deemed appropriate by it in connection with the inclusion of any such Indebtedness pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of any Lenders;

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted];

(iii) the Administrative Agent may agree to such technical changes to the Intercreditor Agreement as are deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by it, in each case so long as such changes, taken as a whole, are not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders;

(iv) the Administrative Agent may agree to, or acknowledge, the termination of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Series in accordance with the express provisions of Section 8.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, and at any time when the Intercreditor Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2 thereof, the Administrative Agent may agree to the termination thereof with the written agreement of the Borrower;

(v) [Intentionally Omitted];

(vi) with respect to the Security Documents, (x) additional Credit Parties

118

may be added as parties thereto with only the consent of the relevant Credit Parties being added (and annexes may be modified to reflect additions), and (y) Subsidiaries of Holdings (other than the Borrower) may be released from the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, in each case without the consent of the other Credit Parties or any Lenders; and

(vii) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments evidencing any release of any Liens granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral in accordance with Section 13.10(b) without the consent of the Credit Parties or any Lenders.

14.13. Survival.  All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06 and 14.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

14.14. Domicile of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.15. Register.  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender (including as a result of one or more Exchanges pursuant to Section 10.15).  Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.  With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.  The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(b) or agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(c).  Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement or agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(c) to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon (in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 14.04(b)), one or more new Notes in

119

the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15.

14.16. Confidentiality.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.16, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender 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 and agents, 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 will agree to keep such Information confidential in accordance with this Section), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that in the case of Information required to be disclosed by a Person pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal process, such Person shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with prior notice of such required disclosure and the opportunity to obtain a protective order in respect thereof if no conflict exists with such Person’s governmental, regulatory or legal requirements), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge 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 Loan Parties and their 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 by the respective Lender or agent (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Credit Party.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party from a source other than a Credit Party.  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.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

14.17. Patriot Act.  Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to

120

obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

14.18. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC.  (a)  EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT DOCUMENTS (ON A FIRST LIEN BASIS) AND THE BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS (ON A SECOND LIEN BASIS) (AND IN THE FUTURE MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE SERIES OF INDEBTEDNESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT), WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE LIENS ON THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY OTHER SECOND LIEN INDEBTEDNESS) ARE PROVIDED ON A JUNIOR AND SUBORDINATE BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT.  REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF.  EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

14.19. Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Bridge Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Bridge Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by

121

applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

14.20. Regulation U.  (a)  The Borrower and the Lenders agree that, for purposes of this Agreement and for determining compliance with Regulation U, all Loans and extensions of credit incurred hereunder and under the First Lien Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be “purpose loans” under Regulation U and the provisions of this Section 14.20 shall apply.

SECTION 15. Holdings Guaranty.

15.01. Guaranty.  In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans,  Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows:  Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Creditors.  If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent

122

and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors to which such Guaranteed Obligations are owed, on demand together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent reimbursable under Section 14.01.  If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Guaranteed Parties), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

15.02. Bankruptcy.  Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default with respect to Holdings or the Borrower specified in Section 12(h) or (i), and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.03. Nature of Liability.  The liability of Holdings hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 15.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.

15.04. Independent Obligation.  The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party be joined in any such action or actions.  Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.  Any payment by any Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

123

15.05. Authorization.  Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party, other Credit Parties or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed Party to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

15.06. Reliance.  It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

124

15.07.      Subordination.  Any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings, Holdings shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.08.      Waiver.  (a)  Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever.  Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment.  The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid.  Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b)      Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.  Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed

125

Creditors shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c)      Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

(d)      Holdings hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Holdings shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing Holdings’ or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Holdings hereby waives until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

(i)            all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(ii)           all rights and defenses that Holdings may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that:  (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may have to collect from any Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii)          all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Holdings’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

126

(e)           Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.09.      Payments.  All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.
