In order to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Lender’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each LC Disbursement of the Issuing Lender. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably covenants to the Issuing Lender that, if an LC Disbursement is made by the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not immediately reimbursed in full by the Borrower, such Lender shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, upon the demand by the Agent, an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified by the Agent in its demand for payment. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant

- 32 -

to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(e) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which either the Issuing Lender or the Agent notifies the Borrower of an LC Disbursement for the amount of the LC Disbursement, including but not limited to the amount of any draft so paid and any taxes, charges, or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable hereunder until payment in full at the Adjusted Base Rate. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to automatically constitute a request by the Borrower to the Agent for an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing of proceeds of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such drawing to be made on the date on which either the Issuing Lender or the Agent notifies the Borrower of the drawing, and the proceeds of such Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be advanced directly by the Agent to the Issuing Lender for application to the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section.

(f) Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations Are Absolute. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or has had against the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any of the Lenders, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower agrees that none of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders shall be responsible for, nor shall the Borrower’s duties and obligations hereunder under the Loan Documents be affected by, among other things: (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any documents or of any endorsements thereon presented in connection with any draft upon a Letter of Credit, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged; (b) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred; or (c) any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. None of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or any of the Lenders shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with the issuance, administration, or payment of any drafts presented against any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders to the Borrower, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued: (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit; and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to any commercial Letter of Credit.

- 33 -

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 3.01(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. Upon the request of the Agent: (a) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LC Borrowing; or (b) if, as of the LC Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately “Cash Collateralize” all then outstanding LC Obligations (in an amount determined as of the date of such LC Borrowing or the LC Expiration Date, as the case may be). As used herein, the term “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral (“Cash Collateral”) for the LC Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts held by the Agent.

Section 2.04 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments

(a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time or from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Agent; provided, that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus Swingline Loans plus LC Obligations would exceed the Revolving Committed Amount.

(b) Termination Dates. Each Revolving Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date, the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the LC Expiration Date, and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Swingline Maturity Date.

- 34 -

Section 2.05 Evidence of Loans. The Obligations of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Notes and the Obligations of the Borrower to repay the Swingline Loan shall be evidenced by the Swingline Note. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (a) to each Lender a Revolving Note in the stated principal amount equal to each Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment and (b) to the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Note in the stated principal amount equal to the Swingline Loan Dollar Cap.

Section 2.06 Prepayments

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000.00) in excess thereof and (ii) each prepayment of Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) and integral multiples of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give irrevocable written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing which confirmation may be by fax) of any such voluntary prepayment to the Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of the requested prepayment in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Loans, and on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans. Subject to the foregoing terms and subject to Section 3.06, amounts prepaid under this Section 2.06(a) shall be applied to Adjusted Base Rate Loans and to Eurodollar Loans in such amounts and in such order as the Borrower shall specify. All prepayments under this Section 2.06(a) shall be subject to Section 3.06, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on the date of such prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the Swingline Loans and the Revolving Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Revolving Committed Amount. If at any time after the Funding Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus Swingline Loans plus LC Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

(ii) Asset Dispositions. Promptly following any Asset Disposition in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds derived from all such Asset Dispositions (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below); provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent (A) the Borrower delivers to the Agent a certificate stating that it intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire fixed or capital assets in replacement of the disposed assets, and (B) such acquisition is completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds, it

- 35 -

being expressly agreed that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be applied to repay the Loans immediately thereafter.

(iii) Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party of proceeds from (A) any Debt Issuance which is made with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Debt Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below) or (B) any Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

(iv) Recovery Event. To the extent cash proceeds are received in connection with a Recovery Event and are not applied to repair, replace or relocate damaged property or to purchase or acquire fixed or capital assets in replacement of the assets lost or destroyed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of such cash proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds not so applied (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

(v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i), to the Revolving Loans and then (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a Cash Collateral account in respect of LC Obligations, (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.06(b)(ii) through (iv), (1) to the Revolving Loans without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a Cash Collateral account in respect of LC Obligations. Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Adjusted Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.06(b) shall be subject to Section 3.06 and be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.

Section 2.07 Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Interest Rate Tranches

(a) Each Adjusted Base Rate Loan (other than Swingline Loans) Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and whole multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and whole multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof.

- 36 -

Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs

(a) Each Loan Party shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its office at 0 X&X Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or such other office as to which the Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof together with, in the case of payments due to any Lender, interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, with respect to any payment which the Agent receives from any Loan Party by 12:00 Noon and does not distribute to such Lender on the same Business Day. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other applicable Lender, then the applicable Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other applicable Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any Assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and

- 37 -

counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of the requested Borrowings, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, at the Adjusted Base Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(ii), 2.02(c) or 2.03(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

ARTICLE 3 INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 3.01 Interest

(a) Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings and Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all principal of and interest on each Loan and each fee and other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Adjusted Base Rate.

- 38 -

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and with respect to Revolving Loans, on the Maturity Date, and, with respect to Swingline Loans, on the Swingline Maturity Date, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.

(f) Any payment of principal, interest or fees due upon any of the Loans which is received by the Agent more than fifteen (15) calendar days after its due date shall incur a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment due. All late payment charges shall be payable upon the demand of the Agent. The existence of the right by the Lenders to receive a late payment charge shall not be deemed to constitute a grace period or provide any right to the Borrower to make a payment other than on such payment’s scheduled due date.

Section 3.02 Interest Elections

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.01(b)(i) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable, shall be delivered by hand or telecopy to the Agent in a form approved by the Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each Interest Election Request shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F and shall specify the following information:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the

- 39 -

portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and without limiting any rights and remedies of the Credit Parties, the right of the Borrower to elect any Eurodollar Borrowing, shall terminate and all the existing Eurodollar Borrowings shall be converted (on the last day of the respective Interest Periods) to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.

Section 3.03 Fees

(a) Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent all fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders holding a Revolving Commitment, a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate for Commitment Fees per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Committed Amount. For purposes of computing the Commitment Fee hereunder, (i) the LC Obligations shall be considered usage under the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage under the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of the Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall pay the following fees: (i) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable

- 40 -

benefit of the Lenders a per annum fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to that sum obtained by multiplying the face amount of each Letter of Credit by the Applicable Rate for LC Issuance Fees in effect on the date of the issuance or renewal of the Letter of Credit (“LC Issuance Fee”), provided, however, during any continuing Event of Default, the LC Issuance Fee shall be increased to a rate per annum which is two percent (2%) plus the Applicable Rate for LC Issuance Fees otherwise in effect, which LC Issuance Fees shall be payable quarterly in advance on the date of issuance and thereafter on the first day of each calendar quarter; (ii) the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% multiplied by the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender (“LC Fronting Fee”), which LC Fronting Fee shall be payable quarterly in advance on the date of issuance and thereafter on the first day of each calendar quarter; (iii) the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, and such customary fees and standard costs and charges shall be due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(d) Payment and Computation of Fees. All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and LC Issuance Fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Commitment Fees and the LC Issuance Fees shall be computed based upon a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Agent is advised by any applicable Lender that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality

(a) If the adoption or change of any Law, rule, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by

- 41 -

any Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency or any Regulatory Change after the Closing Date: (i) subjects such Credit Party to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Loan or Note, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Credit Party under this Agreement or any Note in respect of any Loan or otherwise with respect to any Obligations (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Credit Party by the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party has its principal office); (ii) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, or similar requirement (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Credit Party, including the applicable Loans extended by such Credit Party hereunder or any other Obligations owing to such Credit Party; or (iii) imposes on such Credit Party or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Note or any Obligation or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments or the costs of deposits maintained by any Credit Party in obtaining funds to carry any of the Loans or Obligations; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party of the making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining or participating in any Loan or to reduce any yield or sum received or receivable by such Credit Party under this Agreement or any Note with respect to any Loan or other Obligation, then the Borrower shall pay to such Credit Party on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Credit Party determines that the adoption or change of any Capital Adequacy Requirement or change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency after the Closing Date has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Credit Party or any corporation controlling such Credit Party as a consequence of such Credit Party’s Obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Credit Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such reduction.

(c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the adoption or change of any Capital Adequacy Requirement or any other Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs

- 42 -

or reductions as specified in Paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the adoption or change of any Capital Adequacy Requirement or any other Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and Adjusted Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an Adjusted Base Rate Loan (or a request to continue an Adjusted Base Rate Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an Adjusted Base Rate Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to Adjusted Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Adjusted Base Rate Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Adjusted Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

- 43 -

therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.08(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or any participation therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any terms of the Credit Documents as contemplated by Section 10.02, the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained but the consent of a Lender whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require any of such Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) , provided that

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for

- 45 -

compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver or indulgence by any of the Credit Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by the Borrower. No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Except as expressly set forth below in this Section, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Required Lenders on behalf of the Lenders, and any consent may be given by the Required Lenders on behalf of the Lenders; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (A) increase or decrease the principal amount of the Revolving Committed Amount (except as contemplated by Section 2.01(d)), (B) extend the Maturity Date, the Swingline Maturity Date, the LC Expiration Date, or the expiration date of the Revolving Commitments, (C) change the Revolving Commitment Percentage or Revolving Commitment of any such Lender (except as specifically permitted to reflect an assignment pursuant to the assignment provisions of Section 10.04 of this Agreement), (D) postpone the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of any of the Loans, the time or times of payment of interest or fees on account of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, or the time or times of payment of any of the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or of any other LC Obligations, (E) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any of the Loans or reduce any fees relating to Letters of Credit; (F) change Section 2.08 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or change Section 8.03; (ii) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders, (A) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as specifically authorized by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents), (B) amend the definition of Required Lenders or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of Lenders required to make any determinations; (C) release any Subsidiary Guarantor; (D) until all

- 80 -

of the Convertible Senior Notes have been redeemed in full (on terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement) or all Repurchase Dates thereof extended to a date not less than one hundred eighty (180) days after January 1, 2014, permit the creation, incurrence, or assumption of any additional Indebtedness by any of the Loan Parties other than such Indebtedness specifically permitted under Section 7.01 hereof; or (E) amend the provisions of this Section 10.02(a); and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, the Swingline Lender, or the Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, Swingline Lender, and Issuing Lender, respectively. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement and with the exception of amendments to any provision of Article 9 of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Borrower. The Agent and all of the Lenders may amend or modify any provision of Article 9 of this Agreement without the need for any consent or approval from the Borrower.

Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and the recordation of any Loan Documents (including all recording costs and taxes, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, and the like), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with the endorsement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Lender and each related party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee” against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of

- 81 -

such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any related party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such related party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any related party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than three (3) Business Days after demand therefor.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each other

- 82 -

Credit Party and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (f) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (h) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Revolving Loans at the time owing to such Lender and the Notes held by such Lender) provided that: (i) an administrative fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) is paid to the Agent by either the assigning Lender or the Assignee in connection with the assignment; (ii) if less than all of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment is to be assigned, the Revolving Commitment so assigned shall be for an aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment And Acceptance to the Agent (with copies to be sent contemporaneously to each Lender), for its acceptance; and (iv) such Assignment And Acceptance does not require the filing of a registration statement with the Securities And Exchange Commission or require the Loans or the Notes to be qualified in conformance with the requirements imposed by any blue sky laws or other laws of any state. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment And Acceptance, which effective date is at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment And Acceptance, have the rights, duties, and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment And Acceptance, be released from its duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the protections, indemnifications and benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, and 10.03 and all other indemnification and reimbursement rights provided to the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with respect to facts, events, and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties to this Agreement as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(d) The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Loans with respect to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender

- 83 -

hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon the Agent’s receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with any Note or Notes subject to such Assignment and Assumption and the written consent to such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit A: (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register; (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower; and (iv) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment and Assumption to the Borrower. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Revolving Commitment (and Revolving Commitment Percentage) assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and a new Note or Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment (and Revolving Commitment Percentage) retained by the assigning Lender. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender. Each surrendered Note or Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that the cancellation of any Note or Notes and the replacement of any Note or Notes in accordance with this provision shall not constitute or be deemed to be a refinancing or a novation of any of the Obligations.

(f) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or wavier of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant which (i) increases or decreases the principal amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, (ii) extends the Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or LC Expiration Date or the expiration date of the Revolving Commitment, (iii) postpones the time of payment of principal, interest or fees on account of the Loans, (iv) reduces the rates of interest payable on the Loans or reduces any fees payable under the Loan Documents, or (v) releases substantially all of the collateral that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (h) of this Section, the

- 84 -

Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, and 3.07 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) as though it were a Lender.

(h) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.05 or 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.07 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.07(e) as though it were a Lender.

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from an of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time M&T assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, M&T may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of M&T as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If M&T resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all LC Obligations with respect thereto. If M&T resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to M&T to effectively assume the obligations of M&T with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.05 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other

- 85 -

party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the resignation of the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent or to M&T, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Until the conditions precedent set forth in Article 5 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof and this Agreement becomes effective, as set forth below, the terms of the Original Credit Agreement shall remain in effect. Except as provided in Article 5, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and upon this Agreement becoming effective in accordance with the foregoing, it shall replace and supersede in its entirety the terms of the Original Credit Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.07 Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable

- 86 -

provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have.

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Agent or any other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

- 87 -

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the 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 Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by 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 Obligation hereunder.

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”) is made to be effective as of July 29, 2010, by XXXXXX LIGHTSPEED CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), to MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, a New York banking corporation, individually, and in its capacity as “Agent” (in such capacity, “Agent”), acting for and on behalf of those persons who are now or who hereafter become a “Lender,” “Swingline Lender,” and “Issuing Lender” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), including the Agent in its capacity as a Lender, Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender), under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated to be effective as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or replaced, “Credit Agreement”), and to each of the Lenders, Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender, with respect to the obligations of XXXXXX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

RECITALS

The Borrower has requested certain credit accommodations from the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, and the Issuing Lender. The Lenders, the Swingline Lender, and the Issuing Lender have agreed to provide the requested credit accommodations to the Borrower, but only if the Guarantor provides to the Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, and the Issuing Lender (collectively, “Secured Parties”) the guaranties of payment and performance set forth in this Guaranty. The Guarantor is willing to provide this Guaranty to the Secured Parties in order to induce the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, and the Issuing Lender to provide the requested credit accommodations to the Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees to provide to the Secured Parties the following guaranties and indemnifications.

Section 1. Guaranty. The Guarantor guarantees to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to the Secured Parties: (a) the payment of any and all sums now or hereafter due and owing to the any of the Secured Parties by the Borrower as a result of or in connection with any and all existing or future indebtedness, liability, or obligation of every kind, nature, type, and variety owed by the Borrower to any of the Secured Parties from time to time, arising out of or related to any credit accommodation, loan, letter of credit, guaranty, depository relationship, transaction, event, or occurrence, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, primary or secondary, joint or several, unconditional or conditional, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, contractual or tortious, including all renewals, refinancings, extensions, substitutions, amendments, and modifications thereof, no matter when or how created, arising, evidenced, or acquired, and whether or not presently contemplated or anticipated, including, but not limited to, all amounts of principal, interest, charges, reimbursements, advancements, escrows, and fees; (b) that all sums now or hereafter due and owing by the Borrower to any of the Secured Parties shall be paid when and as due, whether by reason of installment, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, time being of the essence; and (c) the timely, complete, continuous, and strict performance and observance by the Borrower of each of the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions contained in any and all existing or future documents, instruments, agreements, and writings of every kind, nature, type, and variety which evidence, reflect, embody, give rise to or secure any and all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of any kind of the Borrower to any of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other document executed in connection with or related to the Credit Agreement (collectively, “Loan Documents”). As used in this Guaranty, the term “Obligations” shall refer to the obligations of payment, performance, and indemnification which the Guarantor has undertaken and assumed pursuant to this Guaranty, both as described in this Section and in other Sections of this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be administered and enforced by the Agent on behalf and for the ratable and proportionate benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 2. Nature Of Guaranty. This Guaranty: (a) is (i) irrevocable, (ii) absolute and unconditional, (iii) direct, immediate, and primary, and (iv) one of payment and not just collection; and (b) makes the Guarantor a surety to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and to each of the Secured Parties, with respect to the Obligations and the equivalent of a co-obligor with the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any of the liabilities or obligations of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any

other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law initiated by or against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Loan Documents shall not modify, limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder in any manner whatsoever, and this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect.

Section 3. Security Interests. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are secured by the collateral and in accordance with the terms set forth and described in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 4. Accuracy Of Representations. The Guarantor guaranties that all representations and warranties made by the Borrower or by the Guarantor to any of the Secured Parties prior to or after the date of this Guaranty are and will continue to be true, correct, accurate, and complete and not knowingly misleading, and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Secured Parties harmless from any loss, cost, or expense which any of the Secured Parties may suffer, sustain or incur as a result of any representation or statement of the Borrower or of the Guarantor being materially false, incorrect, inaccurate, incomplete, or knowingly misleading.

Section 5. Representations Of Guarantor. To induce the Secured Parties to accept this Guaranty for the purposes for which it is given, the Guarantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties as follows:

(a) The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Guarantor has the lawful power to own its properties and to engage in the business it conducts, and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

(b) Any financial statements submitted by the Guarantor to the Secured Parties, including any schedules and notes pertaining thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fully and fairly present the financial condition of the Guarantor at the dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods covered thereby, and there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of the Guarantor from the dates thereof to the date hereof, other than as disclosed to the Secured Parties.

(c) The Guarantor is not in default with respect to any of its existing indebtedness, and the making and performance of this Guaranty will not (immediately, with the passage of time, the giving of notices, or both), (i) violate the organizational documents of the Guarantor, (ii) violate any applicable law or regulation, (iii) result in a default under any contract, agreement, or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or its property is bound, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any security interest in, or lien or encumbrance upon, any of the assets of the Guarantor except in favor of the Secured Parties.

(d) The Guarantor has the power and authority to enter into and perform this Guaranty, and to incur the Obligations, and has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Guaranty.

(e) This Guaranty when delivered will be, valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(f) The incurring or satisfaction of the Obligations has not left and will not leave the Guarantor insolvent, with an unreasonably small capital, or unable to pay existing or future debts as they mature.

(b) its audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all reported on by KPMG LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing (without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Guarantor in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; and

(c) As soon as available and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor: (i) its consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income and stockholders’ equity as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year and (ii) unaudited financial information for each of the Guarantor’s business lines, all certified by the president or chief financial officer of the Guarantor as presenting fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Guarantor in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

Section 18. Enforcement During Bankruptcy. Enforcement of this Guaranty shall not be stayed or in any way delayed as a result of the filing of a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, by or against the Borrower. Should the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties, be required to obtain an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court to begin enforcement of this Guaranty after the filing of a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, by or against the Borrower, the Guarantor hereby consents to this relief and agrees to file or cause to be filed all appropriate pleadings to evidence and effectuate such consent and to enable the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to obtain the relief requested.

Section 19. Remedies Cumulative. All of the rights and remedies of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and of the Secured Parties, shall be cumulative and any failure of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, or of the Secured Parties, to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time, and from time to time, thereafter.

Section 20. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of all existing and future obligations of the Borrower to each of the Secured Parties and may not be terminated by the Guarantor until after the termination of the Loan Documents, in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the payment (which payment shall not be subject to challenge or contest) in full of all of the Obligations and all of the Borrower’ obligations and liabilities to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

Section 21. Reinstatement. If at any time any payment, or portion thereof, made by, or for the account of, any Borrower or the Guarantor on account of any of the obligations and liabilities under any of the Loan Documents is set aside by any court or trustee having jurisdiction as a voidable preference, or fraudulent conveyance or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties, to a Borrower or any other person or entity under any insolvency, bankruptcy or other federal and/or state laws or as a result of any dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any other person or entity, or for any other reason, the Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment(s) had not been made.

Section 22. Rights Of Subrogation, Etc. In the event the Guarantor pays any sum to or for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Guaranty, the Guarantor may not enforce any right of contribution, indemnification, exoneration, reimbursement, subrogation or other right or remedy against any Borrower, any other guarantor, or any collateral, whether real, personal, or mixed, securing the obligations of any Borrower to any of the Secured Parties, or the obligations of any other guarantor to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, until such time as all of the Secured Parties have been paid in full and have no further claim against the Borrower, any other guarantor, or any collateral. The Guarantor waives and releases any claim which the Guarantor hereafter may have against any of the Secured Parties if any action of any of the Secured Parties, whether intentional or negligent, impairs, destroys, or in any way adversely affects any right of contribution, indemnification, exoneration, reimbursement, subrogation, or the like which the Guarantor may have upon the payment of any sum to or for the benefit of any of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Guaranty.

Section 23. Subordination Of Certain Indebtedness. If the Guarantor advances any sums to the Borrower or their successors or assigns or if any Borrower or its successors or assigns shall hereafter become indebted to the Guarantor, such sums and indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the amounts then or thereafter due and owing to the Secured Parties by such Borrower.

Section 24. Setoff. Each of the Secured Parties (and their participants) shall have the right to setoff and apply against the Obligations any sums which the Guarantor at any time has on deposit with any of the Secured Parties (or their participants) whether such deposits are general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, and the Guarantor hereby pledges and grants a security interest in all such deposits to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 25. Renewals, Etc. This Guaranty shall apply to all sums now or hereafter owed by the Borrower to any of the Secured Parties and to all extensions, modifications, amendments, renewals, substitutions, and refinancings thereof.

Section 26. Choice Of Law. The laws of the State of New York (“Governing State”) (excluding, however, conflict of law principles) shall govern and be applied to determine all issues relating to this Guaranty and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including the validity, construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this Guaranty and its various provisions and the consequences and legal effect of all transactions and events which resulted in the issuance of this Guaranty or which occurred or were to occur as a direct or indirect result of this Guaranty having been executed.

Section 27. Consent To Jurisdiction; Agreement As To Venue; Service of Process. The Guarantor irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Governing State and any United States District Court located in the Governing State, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists. The Guarantor agrees that venue shall be proper in any State court located in the Governing State selected by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or in any United States District Court located in the Governing State if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists and waives any right to object to the maintenance of a suit in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing State on the basis of improper venue or of inconvenience of forum. The Guarantor irrevocably, consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 32 of this Guaranty. Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of the Agent or any other Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 28. Proofs Of Sums Due On Guaranty. In any action or proceeding brought by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to collect the sums owed on this Guaranty, a certificate signed by an officer of the Agent setting forth the unpaid balances of principal, and any accrued interest, default interest, attorneys’ fees, and late charges owed with respect hereto shall be presumed correct and shall be admissible in evidence for the purpose of establishing the truth of what it asserts. If the Guarantor wishes to contest the accuracy of the figure set forth in any such certificate, the Guarantor shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the certificate is inaccurate or incorrect.

other than the Governing State is an inconvenient forum and that a suit brought by the Guarantor against any of the Secured Parties in a court of any state other than the Governing State should be forthwith dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing State by that court.

Section 30. Invalidity Of Any Part. If any provision or part of any provision of this Guaranty shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or the remaining part of any effective provisions of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or part thereof had never been contained herein, but only to the extent of its invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability.

Section 31. Amendment Or Waiver. This Guaranty may be amended only by a writing duly executed by the Guarantor and the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. No waiver by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, or by the Secured Parties, of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or any of the rights or remedies of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, or of the Secured Parties, with respect hereto shall be considered effective or enforceable unless in writing.

This Revolving Loan Promissory Note is a “Revolving Note,” as such term is defined in the Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note.

1. Interest Rates, Calculation Of Interest, Obligations And Terms Of Repayment; And Rights Of Prepayment. The Borrower agrees to pay principal and all interest which accrues on the unpaid balance of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note from the date of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note until such time as the obligations evidenced hereunder have been paid in full, at the times and in accordance with the covenants, procedures and requirements set forth in the Agreement. Interest shall accrue, be payable, and shall be calculated as provided for in the Agreement. The Borrower further promises to pay all default interest, late payment charges, fees, and other expenses, costs and payment obligations as are required by the Agreement to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of the Lender. The principal balance of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, together with all other unpaid interest, fees, expenses and other sums due to the holder, shall be paid in full on or before the Maturity Date. The Borrower’s right to prepay any or all sums due pursuant to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

2. Interest Rate After Judgment. If judgment is entered against the Borrower on this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal, interest, fees, and costs) shall bear interest at the higher of the maximum interest rate imposed upon judgments by applicable law or the default interest rate set forth in the Agreement, to be determined on the date of the entry of the judgment.

3. Expenses Of Collection And Attorneys’ Fees. Should this Revolving Loan Promissory Note be referred to an attorney for collection, whether or not suit is filed, the Borrower shall pay all of the holder’s costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such referral.

4. Waiver Of Defenses. In the event any one or more holders of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note transfer this Revolving Loan Promissory Note for value, the Borrower agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, all subsequent holders of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note who take for value and without actual knowledge of a claim or defense of the Borrower against a prior holder shall not be subject to any claims or defenses which the Borrower may have against a prior holder, all of which are waived as to the subsequent holder, and that all such subsequent holders shall have all rights of a holder in due course with respect to the Borrower even though the subsequent holder may not qualify, under applicable law, absent this section, as a holder in due course. The Borrower shall retain all rights and claims which the Borrower may have against prior holders despite any such transfers and the waiver of defenses provided in this section as to subsequent holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall represent the waiver by the Borrower of any defense based upon any payment hereof made to any former holder hereof prior to the Borrower having been notified of the transfer of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note to any subsequent holder.

5. Waiver Of Protest. The Borrower, and all parties to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, whether maker, indorser, or guarantor, waive presentment, notice of dishonor and protest.

6. Extensions Of Maturity. All parties to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, whether maker, indorser, or guarantor, agree that the maturity of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, or any payment due hereunder, may be extended at any time or from time to time without releasing, discharging, or affecting the liability of such party.

7. Manner And Method Of Payment. All payments called for in this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. If made by check, draft, or other payment instrument, such check, draft, or other payment instrument shall represent immediately available funds. In the holder’s discretion, any payment made by a check, draft, or other payment instrument shall not be considered to have been made until such time as the funds represented thereby have been collected by the holder. Should any payment date fall on a non-banking day, the Borrower shall make the payment on the next succeeding banking day.

8. Security. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder are secured by the collateral and in accordance with the terms set forth and described in the Agreement and the other “Loan Documents,” as such term is defined in the Agreement.

9. Notices. Any notice or demand required or permitted by or in connection with this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall be given in the manner specified in the Agreement for the giving of notices under the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all notices and demands for payment from the holder actually received in writing by the Borrower shall be considered to be effective upon the receipt thereof by the Borrower regardless of the procedure or method utilized to accomplish delivery thereof to the Borrower.

10. Assignability. This Revolving Loan Promissory Note may only be assigned by the Lender or by any holder to the extent permitted by the stated terms of the Agreement.

11. Binding Nature. This Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and the Lender’s successors and assigns, and shall be binding and enforceable against the Borrower and the Borrower’s successors and assigns.

12. Invalidity Of Any Part. If any provision or part of any provision of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note and this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or part thereof had never been contained herein, but only to the extent of its invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability.

13. Choice Of Law. The laws of the State of New York (“Governing State”) (excluding, however, conflict of law principles) shall govern and be applied to determine all issues relating to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including the validity, construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note and its various provisions and the consequences and legal effect of all transactions and events which resulted in the issuance of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note or which occurred or were to occur as a direct or indirect result of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note having been executed.

14. Consent To Jurisdiction; Agreement As To Venue. The Borrower irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Governing State and of any United States District Court located in the Governing State, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists. The Borrower agrees that venue shall be proper in any state court selected by the “Required Lenders” (as such term is defined in he Agreement) and in any United States District Court located in the Governing State, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, and waives any right to object to the maintenance of a suit in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing State on the basis of improper venue or of inconvenience of forum.

15. Unconditional Obligations. The Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note shall be the absolute and unconditional duty and obligation of the Borrower and shall be independent of any rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim which the Borrower might otherwise have against the holder of this Revolving

Loan Promissory Note, and the Borrower shall pay absolutely the payments of principal, interest, fees and expenses required hereunder, free of any deductions and without abatement, diminution or set-off.

16. Seal And Effective Date. This Revolving Loan Promissory Note is an instrument executed under seal and is to be considered effective and enforceable as of the date set forth on the first page hereof, independent of the date of actual execution and delivery.

17. Tense; Gender; Defined Terms; Section Headings. As used herein, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. A reference to any gender also applies to any other gender. Defined terms are entirely capitalized throughout, and defined terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as provided by the terms of the Agreement. The section headings are for convenience only and are not part of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note.

18. Actions Against Holder. Any action brought by the Borrower against the holder of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note which is based, directly or indirectly, on this Revolving Loan Promissory Note or any matter in or related to this Revolving Loan Promissory Note, including but not limited to the making of the loan evidenced hereby or the administration or collection thereof, shall be brought only in the courts of the Governing State. The Borrower agrees that any forum other than the Governing State is an inconvenient forum and that a suit brought by the Borrower against the holder of this Revolving Loan Promissory Note in a court of any state other than the Governing State should be forthwith dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing State.

To the best of the Pledgor’s knowledge, no action or proceeding is pending: (a) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any such trademark application or registration; or (b) which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the value of any such trademark application or registration.

3.4 Chief Executive Office. The Pledgor’s chief executive office is located at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

Section 4. Covenants. The Pledgor covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, from and after the Date of this Agreement until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and there exists no contingent or noncontingent commitment which could give rise to any Obligations:

Section 4.1. The Pledgor, consistent with good business judgment, shall (either itself or through licensees): (a) continue to use each Trademark with respect to each class of goods to which such Trademark relates so as to maintain such Trademark in full force, free from any claim of abandonment for non-use; (b) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under each Trademark; (c) employ each Trademark with the notice of registration, if appropriate; (d) not knowingly adopt or use any xxxx which is confusingly similar to, or a colorable imitation of, any third party trademark; and (e) not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Trademark may become invalidated. The Pledgor will not, without the Agent’s prior written consent, enter into any agreement (for example, a license agreement) which is inconsistent with the Pledgor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the Pledgor further agrees that it will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, including licensees, or fail to take any action, which would materially adversely affect the validity or enforcement of the rights transferred to the Agent and other Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

Section 4.2. In each case in which, after the date of this Agreement, the Pledgor shall: (a) obtain rights to any Trademarks not listed on Exhibit A hereto or to any licenses relating to any such Trademarks; or (b) become entitled to the benefit of any Trademark not listed on Exhibit A hereto or to the benefit of any license renewal, the security interest of the Secured Parties granted hereunder shall automatically attach thereto. The Pledgor shall give the Agent prompt written notice of any trademark applications or registrations not listed on Exhibit A to which the Pledgor has obtained the rights, provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor may provide such notice to the Agent quarterly, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of each Fiscal Year, and such notice shall include all trademark applications and registrations occurring within such fiscal quarter. Promptly after request by the Agent and at the Pledgor’s expense, the Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and in proper form for filing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, such security agreements, assignments or other documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent in order to reflect of record the Secured Parties’ interest therein pursuant to this Agreement. The Pledgor further agrees, at its expense, promptly to do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances, instruments and documents as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time to vest in and assure to the Secured Parties their rights under this Agreement or in any of the Collateral, and the Pledgor hereby constitutes the Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all

such additional instruments and documents for the foregoing purposes, all lawful acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations have been satisfied in full and there exists no contingent or noncontingent commitment which could give rise to any Obligations.

Section 4.3. The Pledgor will promptly notify the Secured Parties if it knows, or has reason to know, that any Trademark application or registration to which it has rights may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any state or federal court or tribunal) regarding the Pledgor’s ownership of any such Trademark or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain the same.

Section 4.4. Consistent with good business judgment, the Pledgor will maintain, preserve and protect all of its Trademark applications and registrations free of any conflict with the rights of any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Pledgor shall, consistent with good business judgment, have the duty to: (i) pay all taxes, fees or other amounts necessary to maintain in full force and effect all of the Trademarks; (ii) prosecute diligently any trademark application relating to any Trademarks pending as of the date hereof or thereafter; (iii) make application on any Trademarks which have not been registered but which may be registered; and (iv) preserve and maintain all rights in applications and registrations of the Trademarks. Any expenses incurred in connection with such applications shall be paid by the Pledgor, and none of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability to pay any taxes or fees, nor shall any of the Secured Parties have any duties in connection with applications or maintenance of rights in any Trademarks.

Section 4.5. Except as permitted under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, without the Agent’s prior written consent, the Pledgor shall not sell or assign its interest in, or grant any license under, any of the Trademarks.

Section 4.6. In the event that any Trademark included in the Collateral is infringed by a third party, the Pledgor shall promptly take appropriate action consistent with good business judgment which may include the sending of a cease and desist letter, suing for infringement, seeking injunctive relief or other settlement measures where appropriate, recovering any and all damages for such infringement or taking such other actions as the Pledgor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Trademark. The Pledgor shall notify the Secured Parties promptly after it learns of such infringement and shall provide all information as the Secured Parties may require as to what actions Pledgor has taken or proposes to take with respect to same.

Section 5. Agent’s Appointment As Attorney-In-Fact.

Section 5.1. Powers. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby gives the Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice to or assent by the Pledgor, to do the following:

a. to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

b. without limitation of rights granted to the Agent under other provisions of this Agreement: (i) to ask, demand, xxx for, compromise, settle and collect and receive payment of and receipt for,

any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (ii) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (iii) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (iv) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (ii) or (iii) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (v) to assign, license or otherwise transfer any Trademark or interests therein or thereunder for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (vi) generally, to sell, transfer, assign, license, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Agent’s option and the Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the liens of the Secured Parties thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgor might do. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Section 5.2. Other Powers. The Pledgor authorizes the Agent and each other Secured Party, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

Section 5.3. No Duty. The powers conferred on the Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of them to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 6. Performance By Agent Of Pledgor’s Obligations. If the Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and any of the Secured Parties, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the Pledgor shall pay to the Agent the expenses of the Secured Parties incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon which shall accrue at the highest rate of interest authorized by the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 7. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

a. All cash, checks, drafts, money orders and other items of payment constituting Collateral, or collections or other proceeds of Collateral, received by the Pledgor shall be held by the Pledgor in trust for the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgor, be turned over to the Agent, in the same form as received by the Pledgor (duly endorsed by the Pledgor to the Agent if required), and any and all such collections and other proceeds of Collateral so received by the Agent (whether from the Pledgor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Agent against, such of the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and in such order, as is set forth in the Credit Agreement.

b. The Agent may take exclusive possession of any or all of the Collateral from time to time and/or place a custodian in exclusive possession of any or all of the Collateral from time to time and, so far as the Pledgor may give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which any of the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom, the Pledgor hereby waiving, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to prior notice and to judicial hearing with respect to repossession of Collateral, and/or

require the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, to assemble and deliver any or all of the Collateral to such place or places as the Agent may reasonably request.

c. At the Pledgor’s expense, continue or complete, or cause to be continued or completed, performance of obligations of the Pledgor under any accounts, chattel paper, contracts, instruments or general intangibles, and, for such purpose, use, operate, manage, control and exercise all rights of the Pledgor relating to, any or all of the Collateral, and collect all income and revenues therefrom.

d. The Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent or the Secured Parties in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Agent or the Secured Parties under applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in effect from time to time in the State of New York. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may forthwith sell, liquidate, license, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and realize upon the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or any Secured Party, or at any or all of the places of business of the Pledgor, or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such sale, license, assignment or other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to repossession, holding, preparing for sale, license, assignment or other disposition, selling, licensing, assigning or otherwise disposing of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent or any Secured Party hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of such of the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and in such order, as is set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. In no event shall the Pledgor be credited with any part of the proceeds of liquidation, sale, assignment, licensing or other disposition of any of the Collateral until final payment thereon has been received by the Agent in immediately available funds. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by any of them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least five (5) Business Days before such sale or other disposition.

Section 19. Waivers and Amendments; Governing Law.

all general intangibles, contract rights, documents, instruments, and other rights relating to or arising from the Patents;

to the extent not otherwise included, all proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing; and

all records and writings relating or pertaining to any of the above.

Section 3. Representations And Warranties. The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that:

3.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. Upon the filing and acceptance for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office of this Agreement (or with respect to patents issued and pending in jurisdictions outside of the United States, the applicable jurisdiction) the security interests and liens granted pursuant to this Agreement will constitute perfected security interests and liens in and to the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and in favor of the Secured Parties, which are prior to all other liens in or to the Collateral in existence on the date hereof and which are enforceable as such against all creditors of and purchasers from the Pledgor.

3.3 Patents. Exhibit A hereto includes all Patents owned by the Pledgor as of the date hereof. To the best of the Pledgor’s knowledge, each such Patent is, to the extent applicable, valid, subsisting, unexpired, enforceable and has not been abandoned. Except as set forth in such Exhibit A or in the ordinary course of the Pledgor’s business, none of such Patents is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement. To the best of the Pledgor’s knowledge, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of any such Patent. To the best of the Pledgor’s knowledge, no action or proceeding is pending: (a) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any such Patent; or (b) which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the value of any such Patent.

3.4 Chief Executive Office. The Pledgor’s chief executive office is located at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

Section 4.1. The Pledgor, consistent with good business judgment, shall (either itself or through licensees): (a) continue to maintain such Patent and the registration of the Patent in full force, free from any adverse claim; (b) maintain as in the past the quality of products and/or processes made, sold, or offered under each Patent; (c) employ each Patent with the appropriate notice of registration; (d) not knowingly adopt or use any goods and or/processes or methods which are confusingly similar to, or a colorable imitation of, any patent owned by a third party not believed by Pledgor to be invalid; (e) use proper statutory notice and markings in connection with its making, using or selling goods and/or processes or methods covered by the Patents; and (f) not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent may become invalidated. The Pledgor will not, without the Agent’s prior written consent, enter into any agreement (for example, a license agreement) which is inconsistent with the Pledgor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, the Security Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and the Pledgor further agrees that it will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, including licensees, or fail to take any action, which would materially adversely affect the validity or enforcement of the rights transferred to the Agent and other Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

Section 4.2. In each case in which, after the date of this Agreement, the Pledgor shall: (a) obtain rights to any Patents not listed on Exhibit A hereto or to any licenses relating to any such Patents; or (b) become entitled to the benefit of any Patent not listed on Exhibit A hereto or to the benefit of any license renewal, the security interest of the Secured Parties granted hereunder shall automatically attach thereto. The Pledgor shall give the Agent prompt written notice of any patents to which the Pledgor has obtained rights, provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor may provide such notice to the Agent quarterly, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of each Fiscal Year, and such notice shall include all patents to which the Pledgor has received rights within such fiscal quarter. Promptly after request by the Agent and at the Pledgor’s expense, the Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and in proper form for filing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the applicable office of any other jurisdiction, such security agreements, assignments or other documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent in order to reflect of record the Secured Parties’ interest therein pursuant to this Agreement. The Pledgor further agrees, at its expense, promptly to do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances, instruments and documents as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time to vest in and assure to the Secured Parties their rights under this Agreement or in any of the Collateral, and the Pledgor hereby constitutes the Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such additional instruments and documents for the foregoing purposes, all lawful acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Obligations have been satisfied in full and there exists no contingent or noncontingent commitment which could give rise to any Obligations.

Section 4.3. The Pledgor will promptly notify the Secured Parties if it knows, or has reason to know, that any Patent may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any state, federal, or foreign court or tribunal) regarding the Pledgor’s ownership of any such Patent or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain the same.

Section 4.4. Consistent with good business judgment, the Pledgor will maintain, preserve and protect all of the Patents free of any conflict with the rights of any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Pledgor , consistent with good business judgment, shall have the duty to: (i) pay all taxes, fees or other amounts necessary to maintain in full force and effect all of the Patents; (ii) prosecute diligently any application relating to the Patents pending as of the date hereof or thereafter; (iii) make application on any Patents which have not been registered but which may be registered; and (iv) preserve and maintain all rights in applications and registrations of the Patents. Any expenses incurred in connection with such applications shall be paid by the Pledgor, and none of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability to pay any taxes or fees, nor shall any of the Secured Parties have any duties in connection with applications or maintenance of rights in any Patents.

Section 4.6. In the event that any Patent included in the Collateral is infringed by a third party, the Pledgor shall promptly take appropriate action consistent with good business judgment, including suing for infringement, seeking injunctive relief where appropriate, recovering any and all damages for such infringement or taking such other actions as the Pledgor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent. The Pledgor shall notify the Secured Parties promptly after it learns of such infringement and shall provide all information as the Secured Parties may require as to what actions Pledgor has taken or proposes to take with respect to same.

Section 5. Agent’s Appointment As Attorney-In-Fact.

a. to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

b. without limitation of rights granted to the Agent under other provisions of this Agreement: (i) to ask, demand, xxx for, compromise, settle and collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (ii) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (iii) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (iv) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (ii) or (iii) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (v) to assign, license or otherwise transfer any Patent or interests therein or thereunder for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (vi) generally, to sell, transfer, assign, license, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Agent’s option and the Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the liens of the Secured Parties thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgor might do. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Section 7. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

Section 9. Expenses. The Pledgor agrees to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon demand from time to time the amount of all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, paid or incurred by any of the Secured Parties in exercising or enforcing any of their rights under this Agreement, recording this Agreement or any other document in public offices, or any other fees or disbursements in connection with protecting, preserving, or maintaining the Patents.

Section 11. Patent And Trademark Office And Third Parties May Rely Upon Pledgor’s Authorizations To Agent. If the Secured Parties shall elect to exercise any of their rights hereunder, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and all other persons and entities shall have the right to rely upon the Agent’s written statement of the rights of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to sell, assign, license and transfer the Patents and the Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the United States Patent and Trademark Office and all other persons and entities to recognize such sale by the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties either in name of the Pledgor or the Secured Parties without the necessity or obligation of the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any other persons and entities to ascertain the existence of any default by the Pledgor under the Loan Documents, or any other fact or matter relating to the entitlement of the Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise their rights hereunder.

Section 12. Powers Coupled With An Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
