II.
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

A.Committed Loans; Reserves.

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of (x) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, or (y) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base; subject in each case to the following limitations:

(A)after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of

46

(A) the Aggregate Commitments, or (B) the Borrowing Base;

(B)after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment;

(C)the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and

(D)after giving effect to all Credit Extensions, no Overadvance shall exist.

Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section II.A, prepay under Section II.E, and reborrow under this Section II.A.  Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(ii)The following are the Reserves which may be established as of the Closing Date:

(A)rent (an Availability Reserve): An amount equal to two (2) months’ rent for all of the Borrowers’ leased locations in each Landlord Lien State, other than leased locations with respect to which the Collateral Agent has received a Collateral Access Agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

(B)Customer Credit Liabilities (an Availability Reserve);

(C)self-funded health insurance (an Availability Reserve);

(D)Shrink (an Inventory Reserve); and

(E)any additional Reserves described in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered on the Closing Date.

(iii)The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date in its

47

discretion to establish new, or modify or eliminate any existing, eligibility criteria or Reserves.

B.Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

(i)Committed Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be either Base Rate Loans or LIBO Loans as the Lead Borrower may request subject to and in accordance with this Section B.  All Swing Line Loans shall be only Base Rate Loans.  Subject to the other provisions of this Section B, Committed Borrowings of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time.

(ii)Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or of any conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section II.B(ii) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan/Conversion Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections C(iii) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan/Conversion Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Lead Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBO Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest

48

Period with respect thereto.  If the Lead Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan/Conversion Notice or if the Lead Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBO Rate Loans.  If the Lead Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan/Conversion Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBO Rate Loan.

(iii)Following receipt of a Committed Loan/Conversion Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section II.B(ii).  In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan/Conversion Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section IV.B (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension on or after the Closing Date, Section IV.A), the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day of receipt by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Lead Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan/Conversion Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Lead Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of

49

any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrowers as provided above.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance any interest, fee, expenses, service charge, Credit Party Expenses, or other payment to which any Credit Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document, in each case, as and when due and payable, and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby.  The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof.  Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.05.  Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section II.B(iv) shall constitute Committed Loans and shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(v)Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBO Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, prohibit Loans from being requested as, converted to, or continued as, LIBO Rate Loans.

(vi)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Wells Fargo Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(vii)After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect.

50

(viii)The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to make any Committed Loan or Swing Line Loan, or to cause the issuance of or provide any Letter of Credit, if an Overadvance would result.  The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer and each Lender shall be bound thereby.  Any Permitted Overadvance may constitute a Swing Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Loan and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Section II.E(iii).  The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section II.C regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letters of Credit or of Section 2.04 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Swing Line Loans.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for, and no Loan Party or Credit Party shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Administrative Agent with respect to any Unintentional Overadvance regardless of the amount of any such Unintentional Overadvance.

C.Letters of Credit.

(i)The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(1)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section II.C, shall cause the L/C Issuer from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by the L/C Issuer, in accordance with Section II.C(ii) below; and (B) the Lenders

51

severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments or the Borrowing Base, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Lead Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.  Any L/C Issuer (other than Wells Fargo Bank or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such L/C Issuer.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof (notwithstanding the fact that the Existing Letters of Credit were issued for the account of the Parent and not the Borrowers).

(2)No Letter of Credit shall be issued if:

52

a)subject to Section II.C(ii)(3), the expiry date of such requested Standby Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

b)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Commercial Letter of Credit would occur more than 210 days after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

c)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(3)No Letter of Credit shall be issued, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, if:

a)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C

53

Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

b)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

c)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than $50,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit;

d)such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

e)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or

f)a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section II.C(iii) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or Deteriorating Lender hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(4)The Borrowers shall not permit any Letter of Credit to be amended if (A) the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not

54

accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(5)The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(ii)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(1)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Lead Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower.  Any Letter of Credit Application or other document delivered hereunder that is signed by a Responsible Person shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership and/or other action, and such Responsible Officer shall be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of the Borrowers.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such other date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of

55

amendment, as the case may be.  Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Administrative Agent will confirm with the L/C Issuer (other than Wells Fargo Bank or any of its Affiliates), by telephone or in writing, that the L/C Issuer has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Lead Borrower and, if not, the Administrative Agent will provide the L/C Issuer with a copy thereof.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Lead Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

56

(2)Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to (without any further action), and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Upon any change in the Commitments under this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all L/C Obligations, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Applicable Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lenders.

(3)If the Lead Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause the L/C Issuer to issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, the Lead Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall instruct the L/C Issuer

57

not to permit any such extension if (A) the Administrative Agent has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to cause or have the L/C Issuer issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section II.C(i) or otherwise), or (B) the L/C Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Lead Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section IV.B is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(4)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(iii)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(1)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower thereof; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such payment.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent on the same day in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, less the amount of any funds withdrawn by the L/C Issuer from account number ***, maintained at Wells Fargo Bank (or such other account maintained at Wells Fargo Bank as the Borrowers shall designate from time to time in writing), that the L/C Issuer used to repay such drawing, provided, that the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such withdrawal and the amount thereof.  If the Borrowers

58

fail to fully reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section B for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section IV.B (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan/Conversion Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section II.C(iii)(1) may be given by telephone or electronic means.

(2)Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section II.C(iii)(1) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section II.C(iii)(3), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(3)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section IV.B cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the

59

amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section II.C(iii)(2) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section II.C.

(4)Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section II.C(iii) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(5)Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section II.C(iii), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section II.C(iii) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section IV.B (other than delivery by the Lead Borrower of a Committed Loan/Conversion Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any

Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(6)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section II.C(iii) by the time specified in Section II.C(iii)(2), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the principal amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Repayment of Participations.

(1)At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section II.C(iii), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including

61

proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(2)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section II.C(iii)(1) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section X.E (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(v)Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(1)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(2)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any

62

Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(3)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(4)any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws;

(5)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or

(6)the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Lead Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Lead Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Lead Borrower will immediately notify the

63

Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(vi)Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section II.C(v) or for any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or Issuer Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance or any amendment of any Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any Letter of Credit, or the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any Letter of Credit, and such action or neglect or omission will bind the Borrowers; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the

64

extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit; provided further, however, that any claim against the L/C Issuer by the Borrowers for any loss suffered or incurred by the Borrowers shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) saved by the Borrowers as a result of the breach or other wrongful conduct that allegedly caused such loss, and (ii) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate such loss, including, without limitation, by enforcing their rights against any beneficiary and, in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the L/C Issuer to cure such dishonor.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or the L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and may disregard any requirement in a Letter of Credit that notice of dishonor be given in a particular manner and any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  The L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the wording of any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any drawing conditions or any terms or conditions that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy), notwithstanding any assistance the L/C Issuer may provide to the Borrowers with drafting or recommending text for any Letter of Credit Application or with the structuring of any transaction related to any Letter of Credit, and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any such assistance will not constitute legal or other advice by the L/C Issuer or any representation or

65

warranty by the L/C Issuer that any such wording or such Letter of Credit will be effective.  Without limiting the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may, as it deems appropriate, modify or alter and use in any Letter of Credit the terminology contained on the Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit.

(vii)Cash Collateral.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that remains outstanding, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.  Sections II.E and VIII.B.1.c set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.  For purposes of this Section II.C, Section II.E and Section VIII.B.1.c, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 105% of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby Consented to by the Lenders).  Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.  The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent 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 the Cash Collateral Account.  If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to

66

reimburse the L/C Issuer and, to the extent not so applied, shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations.

(viii)Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Lead Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (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 each Commercial Letter of Credit.

(ix)Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily Stated Amount under each such Letter of Credit (as determined pursuant to Section 1.06).  For purposes of computing the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.   Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first calendar day of each month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a monthly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any month, the daily amount available to be drawn under of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such month that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify the Lead Borrower that all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate and thereafter such Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(x)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each Commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125 per cent per annum,

67

computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a Commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Lead Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125 percent per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a monthly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first calendar day of each month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.   For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section I.F.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(xi)Consignment of Bill of Lading.  The Borrowers shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, consign to the L/C Issuer any bill of lading for Inventory which is supported by a Commercial Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer.

(xii)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

D.Swing Line Loans.

(i)The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section II.D, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed

68

Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments, or (B) the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender at such time, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section II.D, prepay under Section II.E, and reborrow under this Section II.D.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(ii)Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line

69

Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section II.D(i), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at its office by crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(iii)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(1)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan/Conversion Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section B, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section IV.B.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Lead Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan/Conversion Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan/Conversion Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing

70

Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan/Conversion Notice, whereupon, subject to Section II.D(iii)(2), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(2)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section II.D(iii)(1), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section II.D(iii)(1) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(3)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section II.D(iii) by the time specified in Section II.D(iii)(1), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest

71

and fees as aforesaid), the principal amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.   A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4)Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section II.D(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section II.D(iii) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section IV.B.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(iv)Repayment of Participations.

(1)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in

72

the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(2)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section X.E (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(v)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section II.D to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(vi)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

E.Prepayments.

(i)The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice (unless the notice is conditioned on a refinancing, a Change of Control or asset sale transaction or other transaction of a similar nature, in which case such notice may be revoked on or prior to such date, in the event such transaction is not consummated on or prior to such date) from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole

73

or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period(s) of such Committed Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (unless the notice is conditioned on a refinancing, a Change of Control or asset sale transaction or other transaction of a similar nature, in which case such notice may be revoked on or prior to such date, in the event such transaction is not consummated on or prior to such date).  Any prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section III.E.  Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(ii)The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice (unless the notice is conditioned on a refinancing, a Change of Control or asset sale transaction or other transaction of a similar nature, in which case such notice may be revoked on or prior to such date, in the event such transaction is not consummated on or prior to such date) from the Lead Borrower to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice

74

shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein(unless the notice is conditioned on a refinancing, a Change of Control or asset sale transaction or other transaction of a similar nature, in which case such notice may be revoked on or prior to such date, in the event such transaction is not consummated on or prior to such date).

(iii)[intentionally omitted].

(iv)If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments or the Borrowing Base, each as then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section II.E(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments or the Borrowing Base, each as then in effect.

(v)After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans under this clause (e), any proceeds deposited to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section VI.M, including, without limitation, any Net Proceeds received by a Loan Party upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Event, shall be transferred to the Concentration Account in accordance with Section VI.M and shall, (i) if deposited in the Concentration Account not later than 2:00 p.m. in immediately available funds, be utilized to prepay the Committed Loans on the date such funds were deposited into the in the Concentration Account, or (ii) if deposited in the Concentration Account after 2:00 p.m. in immediately available funds, be utilized to prepay the Committed Loans on the next Business Day following the date such funds were deposited into the in the Concentration Account, in either case in the order of priority set forth in Section II.E(vi).  The application of all such proceeds to the Loans shall not reduce the Commitments.  If no Cash Dominion Event exists (or if all

75

Obligations then due pursuant to Section II.E(vi) are paid in full during the existence of a Cash Dominion Event), then any proceeds deposited to the Concentration Account shall be remitted without any deduction of any kind to the operating account of the Borrowers designated by the Lead Borrower on (i) if received in the Concentration Account not later than 2:00 p.m. in immediately available funds, the date such funds were deposited into the in the Concentration Account, or (ii) if received in the Concentration Account after 2:00 p.m. in immediately available funds, the next Business Day following the date such funds were deposited into the in the Concentration Account.

(vi)Prepayments made pursuant to either Section II.E(iv), or Section II.E(v) above first, shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Committed Loans, third, in the case of payments other than pursuant to Section II.E(v) when no Event of Default exists, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations in accordance with Section II.C(vii); and, fourth, the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Committed Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of its business.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Lenders, as applicable.

F.Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of any such termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, and to any concurrent payments

76

hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans hereunder would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

1.If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

2.The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the Aggregate Commitments under this Section II.F.  Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.  All fees (including, without limitation, Commitment Fees, and Letter of Credit Fees) and interest in respect of the Aggregate Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

G.Repayment of Loans.

(ii)To the extent not previously paid, the Borrowers shall repay the outstanding balance of the Swing Line Loans on the Termination Date.

H.Interest.

(i)Subject to the provisions of Section II.H(iii) below, (i) each Committed Loan consisting of a LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Committed Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(ii)[intentionally omitted].

(iii)(1)If any amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a

77

fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(2)If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify the Lead Borrower that all outstanding Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate and thereafter, until such Event of Default has been duly waived as provided in Section 10.01 hereof, such Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(3)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(iv)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws.

I.Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in subsections (ix) and (x) of Section II.C:

(i)Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage times the average daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations.  The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be calculated and be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first calendar day of each month, commencing with the

78

first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.

(ii)[intentionally omitted].

(iii)[intentionally omitted].

(iv)Other Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

J.Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

K.Evidence of Debt.

(i)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent (the “Loan Account”) in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall

79

evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

(ii)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section II.K(i), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(iii)The Administrative Agent shall render monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to the Lead Borrower including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Credit Party Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Credit Parties unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by the Lead Borrower, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

L.Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(i)General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The

80

Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(ii)(1)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans (or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section B (or in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section B) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) 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 Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall

81

promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the principal amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(2)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(iii)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are

82

not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.02 hereof), the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(iv)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c), are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(v)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

M.Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Credit Party shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest on, or other amounts with respect to, any of the Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein (including as in contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in Section 8.03), then the Credit Party receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Credit Parties, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Credit Parties ratably and in the priorities set forth in Section 8.03, provided that:

i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase

83

price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 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 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.

N.Settlement Amongst Lenders

1.The amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Committed Loans and outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Loans (including Swing Line Loans) and repayments of Committed Loans and Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.

2.The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Committed Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period.  As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the

84

Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Committed Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all Committed Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date.  If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders and is received prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 1:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY;
APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

A.Taxes.

(i)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable Laws to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

85

(ii)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (i) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(iii)Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest, fees, and reasonable costs and expenses, arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(v)Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a

86

reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(C)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(D)any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Lead Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(vi)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that it has

87

received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(vii)FATCA.  Without limitation of Section 3.01(e), if a payment made to a Lender or a Participant under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent , at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Participant has or has not complied with such Lender or Participant’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

88

B.Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

C.Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBO Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBO Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan , or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

D.Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans.

(i)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(A)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(B)subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBO Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to

89

such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

(C)impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBO Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(iii)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or

90

its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section, as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to the Lead Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

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

(v)Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans.  In addition to the amounts paid by the Borrowers in respect of the Statutory Reserve Rate, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves (other than any reserve described in the definition of Statutory Reserve Rate) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Lead Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

91

E.Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

1.any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

2.any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Lead Borrower; or

3.any assignment of a LIBO Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBO Rate Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBO Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

F.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(i)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender as reasonably determined by such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any

Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(ii)Replacement of Lenders.  Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

(i)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement.  As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower.  In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(ii)Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that

93

one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers.  Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

(iii)The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Credit Extension.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds therefrom.

107

which they were made, not materially misleading as of the time when made or delivered; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

P.Compliance with Laws.  Each of the Loan Parties and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

R.Labor Matters.

There are no strikes, lockouts, slowdowns or other material labor disputes against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties comply in all material respects with the Fair Labor Standards Act and any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign Law dealing with such matters. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act or similar state Law.  All payments due from any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or properly accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability on the books of such Loan Party, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18, as of the First Amendment Closing Date, no Loan Party or any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, management agreement, employment agreement, bonus, restricted stock, stock option, or stock appreciation plan or agreement or any similar plan, agreement or arrangement.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.  Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all requirements pursuant to employment standards, labor relations, health and safety, workers compensation and human rights laws, immigration laws and other applicable employment legislation, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no officer or director of any Loan Party who is party to an employment agreement with such Loan Party is in violation of any term of any employment contract or proprietary information agreement with such Loan Party, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, the execution of the employment agreements and the continued employment by the Loan Parties of the such persons, will not result in any such violation, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

120

respects with all material franchises, licenses and leases to which it is party so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder, except where (i) compliance is at the time being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (ii) failure to comply with the provisions being contested has not resulted, and which, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

121

(ii)Fire and extended coverage policies maintained with respect to any Collateral shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include (i) a non-contributing mortgage clause (regarding improvements to real property) and lenders’ loss payable clause (regarding personal property), in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, which endorsements or amendments shall provide that the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly to the Collateral Agent, (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, Credit Parties or any other Person shall be a co-insurer and (iii) such other provisions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Credit Parties. Commercial general liability policies shall be endorsed to name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured.

122

subrogation against any Credit Party or its agents or employees.  If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Credit Parties and their agents and employees.  The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the any Credit Party under this Section VI.G shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

(iv)Maintain for themselves and their Subsidiaries, a Directors and Officers insurance policy, and a “Blanket Crime” policy including employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration, theft, disappearance and destruction, robbery and safe burglary, and computer fraud coverage with responsible companies in such amounts as are customarily carried by business entities engaged in similar businesses similarly situated, and will upon request by the Administrative Agent furnish the Administrative Agent certificates evidencing renewal of each such policy.

H.Compliance with Laws.  Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, such

123

contest effectively suspends enforcement of the contested Laws, and adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties in connection therewith and in accordance with GAAP, and (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

I.Books and Records; Accountants.(a) (i) Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (ii) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

2.Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after reasonable prior notice, permit the Administrative Agent or professionals (including investment bankers, consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers) retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct appraisals, commercial finance examinations and other evaluations, including, without limitation, of (i) the Lead Borrower’s practices in the computation of the Borrowing Base and (ii) the assets included in the Borrowing Base and related financial information such as, but not limited to, sales, gross margins, payables, accruals and reserves.  Subject to the following sentences, the Loan Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent or such

124

professionals with respect to such evaluations and appraisals.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, undertake up to one (1) inventory appraisal and one (1) commercial finance examination each Fiscal Year at the Loan Parties’ expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent may cause additional inventory appraisals and commercial finance examinations to be undertaken (x) as it in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate, at its own expense, or (y) at the expense of the Loan Parties, (A)  at any time required by applicable Law, (B) up to two (2) inventory appraisals and two (2) commercial finance examinations each Fiscal Year, in any Fiscal Year when Excess Availability is at any time during such Fiscal Year greater than or equal an amount equal to 20% of the then applicable Borrowing Base and less than an amount equal to 50% of the then applicable Borrowing Base, and (C) up to three (3) inventory appraisals and three (3) commercial finance examinations each Fiscal Year, in any Fiscal Year when Excess Availability is at any time during such Fiscal Year less than an amount equal to 20% of the then applicable Borrowing Base, or an Event of Default shall have occurred.

Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of the Material Owned Real Estate, including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary for a determination of the compliance of the Material Owned Real Estate and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, cooperate in all respects with the Administrative Agent and such third parties to enable such assessment and evaluation to be timely completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or shall be requested by any Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.17, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. In no event shall compliance with this Section 6.17(b) waive or be deemed a waiver or consent to any transaction giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 6.17(b) if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute consent to the inclusion of any acquired assets in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

(iii)[Intentionally Omitted].

(iv)[Intentionally Omitted].

(v)(i) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, made in its Permitted Discretion, the Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the landlord of any such leased property to deliver a Collateral Access Agreement to the Collateral Agent in such form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in respect of such leased property; and (ii) shall, simultaneously with the delivery to the Term Loan Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent a Collateral Access Agreement for any location or Store for which a Collateral Access Agreement has been provided to the Term Loan Agent..

S.Material Contracts.  Perform and observe all of the terms and provisions of each Material Contract (other than with respect to the Term Loan Documents (it being understood that the Term Loan Documents shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.01(g))) to be performed or observed by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, take all such action required on the part of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain each such Material Contract in full force

AGENTS

A.Appointment and Authority.

147

1.Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as provided in Section 9.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

2.Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender), Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank as Collateral Agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section E for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X(including Section X.D.3), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

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

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

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

2.shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly

148

contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Agents shall not be required to take any action that, in its respective opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

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

The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the Consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections X.A and VIII.B) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Loan Parties, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.  In the event that the Agents obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Agents shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the other Credit Parties.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Applicable Lenders.  Unless and until the Agents shall have received such direction, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties.  In no event shall the Agents be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that any Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

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

D.Reliance by Agents.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic message, Internet or

149

intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

E.Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent.

F.Resignation of Agents.  Either Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Lead Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Lead Borrower (absent the existence of a Default or an Event of Default), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, in consultation with the Lead Borrower (absent the existence of a Default or an Event of Default), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then the resigning Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, provided, further, that such resignation shall not become effective until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is appointed and has accepted such appointment.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section X.D

150

shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Any resignation by Wells Fargo Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation of Wells Fargo Bank as Swing Line Lender and the resignation of Wells Fargo Bank as L/C Issuer.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer 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 the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

G.Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Except as provided in Section 9.12, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agents.

H.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

1.to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer the Administrative Agent and such Credit Parties under Sections II.C(ix), II.C(x), II.I and X.D) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

2.to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

151

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections II.I and X.D.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

I.Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the Agents, at their option and in their discretion,

1.to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or upon the Cash Collateralization of all Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section II.C(vii)), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Applicable Lenders in accordance with Section X.A or (iv) as otherwise required pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement;

2.to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien, or to release any Lien, on such property that is permitted by the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and

3.to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Applicable Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.09.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case as specified above in clauses (a)-(c) of this Section 9.09, the Agents will without further confirmation from the Required Lenders, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

152

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security Document or to enforce the Facility Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the Facility Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent acting as agent for and representative of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale under §363 of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent at such sale.

L.Agency for Perfection.

Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States can be perfected only by possession.  Should any Lender (other than the Agents) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agents thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

M.Indemnification of Agents.  Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, the Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agents, the L/C Issuer and any Related Party, as the case may be, ratably according to their Applicable Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Agent, the L/C Issuer and their Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent, the L/C Issuer and their Related Parties in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s, the L/C Issuer’s and their Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-Defaulting Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) no amendment, waiver or Consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Products or Cash Management Services shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any Loan Party.

If any Lender does not Consent (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the Consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Lead Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section X.M; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Lead Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

B.Notices, Financial Statements and Other Documents; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

1.Notices, Financial Statements and Other Documents Generally.  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection 2 below), all notices, financial statements and other documents and communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

2.Electronic Communications.  Notices, financial statements and other documents and communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

3.Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Loan Parties, the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Lead Borrower, the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

4.Reliance by Agents, L/C Issuer and Lenders.  The Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices

159

(including telephonic Committed Loan/Conversion Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agents may be recorded by the Agents, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

5.The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall an Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Loan Parties’ or any Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

C.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of

160

Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or 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.

D.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

1.Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers shall pay all Credit Party Expenses.

2.Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Credit Party, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless (on an after tax basis) from, any and all losses, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs, 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 any 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, or, in the case of the Agents (and any sub-agents thereof) and their Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer 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 such Letter of Credit, any bank advising or confirming a Letter of Credit or any other nominated person with respect to a Letter of Credit seeking to be reimbursed or indemnified or compensated, and any third party seeking to enforce the rights of a Borrower, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds, or holder of an instrument or document related to any Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any claims of, or amounts paid by any Credit Party to, a Blocked Account Bank or other Person which has entered into a control agreement with any Credit Party hereunder, or (v) 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that

161

such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

3.Reimbursement by Lenders.  Without limiting their obligations under Section 9.13 hereof, to the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection 1 or 2 of this Section to be paid by it, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer 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 Agents (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 3 are subject to the provisions of Section II.L(iv).

4.Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand therefor.

6.Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent and the L/C Issuer, the assignment of any Commitment or Loan by any Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

162

E.Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be automatically revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agents upon demand its Applicable Percentage (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

F.Successors and Assigns.

(i)Successors and Assigns Generally.  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 no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written Consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, 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 Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section X.F(iv), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section X.F(vi) (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 subsection (iv) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(ii)Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section X.F(ii), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans)

163

at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(A)Minimum Amounts.

a)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

b)in any case not described in subsection (ii)(A)a)of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Effective Date”, shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment

164

for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(B)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

(C)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (ii)(A)b) of this Section and, in addition:

a)the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment (2) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender, or (3) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

b)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

c)the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the

165

assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

d)the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the assignment of any Commitment.

(D)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (iii) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections III.A, III.D, III.E, and X.D with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

(iii)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The

166

entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iv)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line 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 Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality obligations set forth in Section X.G as if such Participant was a Lender hereunder.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section X.A that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (v) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections III.A, III.D and III.E to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section X.F(ii).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section X.H as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13  as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and other Obligations from time to time (each a “Participation Register”). The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Loan

167

Parties, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under Sections III.A, III.D and III.E and Section X.H). The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, the L/C Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section III.A or III.D 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 Lead 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 III.A unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section III.A(v) as though it were a Lender.

(vi)Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) 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 any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(vii)          ��                Electronic Execution of Assignments.  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.

(viii)Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (ii)

168

above, (i) Wells Fargo Bank may upon 30 days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer (provided that such resignation shall not be effective until a successor L/C Issuer has been appointed, which absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower), and/or (ii) Wells Fargo Bank upon 30 days’ notice to the Lead Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo Bank as L/C Issuer or Wells Fargo Bank as Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Wells Fargo Bank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section II.C(iii)).  If Wells Fargo Bank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section II.D(iii).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer 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 Wells Fargo Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Wells Fargo Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

G.Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential on the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority

169

purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties; provided, however, that in the case of any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) above, the applicable Credit Party which is required to disclose confidential Information agrees to give the Lead Borrower, to the extent practicable and not otherwise prohibited by any such Law, regulation, subpoena, order or decree of a court or similar legal process, prior notice of such disclosure (provided, however, no Credit Party shall incur any liability to any Loan Party or other Person for failing to provide the Lead Borrower with any such prior notice); provided, further, however, that the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall disclose only that portion of the confidential Information as is required to be disclosed, in its sole judgment, pursuant to any such Law, regulation, subpoena, order or decree of a court or similar legal process.  Any such required disclosure shall not, in and of itself, change the status of the disclosed information as Information under the terms of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

H.Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if any Lender shall have been served with a trustee process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C

170

Issuer, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer (through the Administrative Agent) agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

I.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 Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

J.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  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 a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.  Except as provided in Section IV.A, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

K.Survival.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.  Further, the provisions of Sections III.A, III.D, III.E and X.D and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release

171

and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agents may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section X.D.

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

M.Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section III.D, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section III.A, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section X.F), 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:

1.the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section X.F(ii);

2.such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section III.E) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

3.in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section III.D or payments required to be made pursuant to Section III.A, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

4.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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

S.Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

T.Press Releases.

1.Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

2.Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material, including any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Administrative Agent, relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo, trademark or other insignia. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations and loan syndication and pricing reporting services information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

U.Additional Waivers.

(i)The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party shall not be

176

affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

(ii)The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments).

(iii)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in

177

lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated.  Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(iv)Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement.  Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness.  If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that a Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to the Borrowers hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any Loan Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the Borrower in an amount, for each of such other Loan Party, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the

178

numerator of which fraction is such other Loan Party’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Loan Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

(v)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

V.No Strict Construction.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

W.Attachments.

The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

X.Existing Credit Agreement Amended and Restated.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, (b) the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Agreement; provided, however, that each of the Loan Parties, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) each of the “Loans” (as such term is

179

defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be included as Loans hereunder; (ii) each “Letter of Credit” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be a Letter of Credit hereunder, (iii) all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding, shall constitute continuing Obligations secured by the Collateral, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such Obligations, and (iv) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof.

Y.Intercreditor Agreement.

The Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the Agents’ and Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any requirement or shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, among the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control except with respect to any terms not consented to by the Lead Borrower that, pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, require the consent of the Lead Borrower.

(a)Pay all renewal fees and other fees and costs associated with maintaining the Intellectual Property and with the processing and prosecution of the Intellectual Property and take all other steps reasonably necessary to maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property, except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Take all actions reasonably necessary to prevent any of the Intellectual Property from becoming forfeited, abandoned, dedicated to the public, invalidated or impaired in any way, except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)At the Grantors’ sole cost, expense, and risk, pursue the processing and prosecution of each application for registration which is the subject of the security interest created herein and not abandon or delay any such efforts, except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.Grantors’ Representations and Warranties.  In addition to any representations and warranties contained in any of the other Loan Documents, each Grantor represents and warrants that:

(a)EXHIBIT A is a true, correct and complete list of Copyrights owned by such Grantor (which list includes all material Copyrights), applications of such Grantor for registered Copyrights (which list includes all applications for material Copyrights) and all material Copyright Licenses to which such Grantor is a party as of the date hereof.

(b)EXHIBIT B is a true, correct and complete list of all Patents owned by such Grantor, applications of such Grantor for registered Patents and all material Patent Licenses to which such Grantor is a party as of the date hereof.

(c)EXHIBIT C is a true, correct and complete list of all Trademarks owned by such Grantor, applications of such Grantor for registered Trademarks and all material Trademark Licenses to which such Grantor is a party as of the date hereof.

(d)Except as set forth in EXHIBITS A, B and C, none of the Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is the subject of any material licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchisor as of the date hereof.

(e)All IP Collateral owned by such Grantor is, and shall remain, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, or security interests in favor of any Person, other than Permitted Encumbrances and non-exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property granted in the ordinary course of business.

(f)Such Grantor owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property reasonably necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use by such Grantor of any of its Intellectual Property, or the validity or effectiveness of any of its Intellectual Property, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The use by such Grantor of the Intellectual Property does not infringe the rights of any Person in any material respect.  No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g)Such Grantor shall give the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a), (b) and (c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, written notice, with reasonable detail, following the occurrence of such Grantor’s knowing, or having reason to know, (A) that any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property may, become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or (B) of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the PTO, the Copyright Office or any court or tribunal) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity or enforceability of, any Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same, except, in each case, where such forfeiture, abandonment, dedication, determination, development, or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.Agreement Applies to Future Intellectual Property.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply to any such additional property or rights described in Section 4(g) or in Section 4.16 of the Security Agreement, above, all of which shall be deemed to be and treated as “Intellectual

7

Property” within the meaning of this Agreement. Following the acquisition by any Grantor of any additional Intellectual Property required to be reported (or notice given to) the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement, such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a), (b) and (c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, an updated EXHIBIT A, B, and/or C (as applicable) to this Agreement and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file, at such Grantor’s expense, such updated Exhibit as set forth in Section 5(b).

(b)Each of the Grantors shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, filings with the PTO, the Copyright Office or any similar office), and each of the Grantors hereby constitutes the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all such acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent’s taking of such action shall not be a condition to the creation or perfection of the security interest created hereby.

SECTION 6.Grantors’ Rights To Enforce Intellectual Property.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, so long as such Grantors are acting in accordance with Section 4.16(b) of the Security Agreement with respect to such infringement actions, the Grantors shall have the exclusive right to sue for past, present and future infringement of the Intellectual Property, including the right to seek injunctions and/or money damages in an effort by the Grantors to protect the Intellectual Property against encroachment by third parties, provided, however, that:

(a)The Grantors provide the Collateral Agent with written notice of the Grantors’ institution of any legal proceedings for enforcement of any Intellectual Property, the infringement of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Any money damages awarded or received by the Grantors on account of such suit (or the threat of such suit) shall constitute IP Collateral.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, by notice to the Grantors, may terminate or limit the Grantor’s rights under this Section 6.

SECTION 7.Collateral Agent’s Actions To Protect Intellectual Property.  In the event of:

(a)any Grantor’s failure to perform or observe any of such Grantor’s covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder; and/or

(b)the occurrence and continuance of any other Event of Default,

8

the Collateral Agent, acting in its own name or in that of any Grantor, may (but shall not be required to) act in any Grantor’s place and stead and/or in the Collateral Agent’s own right in connection therewith.

SECTION 8.Rights Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of New York or under other applicable Law, with respect to the Intellectual Property, in addition to which the Collateral Agent may sell, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Intellectual Property, subject to those restrictions to which such Grantor is subject under applicable Law and by contract.  Any Person may conclusively rely upon an affidavit of an officer of the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and that the Collateral Agent is authorized to exercise such rights and remedies; provided, however, such an affidavit is not required to exercise any such rights and remedies or for any such Person to rely on the Collateral Agent or any officer, agent or representative thereof.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the use by the Collateral Agent of all Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses and other Intellectual Property shall be worldwide and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from the Collateral Agent to the Grantors.

SECTION 9.Collateral Agent As Attorney-In-Fact.

(a)Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as and for such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties:

(i)To supplement and amend from time to time EXHIBITS A, B and C of this Agreement to include any newly developed, applied for, registered, or acquired Intellectual Property of such Grantor and any intent-to-use Trademark applications for which a statement of use or an amendment to allege use has been filed and accepted by the PTO;

(ii)To exercise any of the rights and powers referenced herein; and

(iii)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute all such instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of such rights and remedies and to cause the sale, license, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of the Intellectual Property, subject to those restrictions to which such Grantor is subject under applicable Law and by contract.

9

(b)The power of attorney granted herein, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 13.

(c)The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 9(a), but if the Collateral Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act, except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that the subject act or omission to act has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 10.Collateral Agent’s Rights.  Any use by the Collateral Agent of the Intellectual Property, as authorized hereunder in connection with the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, shall be coextensive with the Grantor’s rights thereunder and with respect thereto and without any liability for royalties or other related charges.

SECTION 11.Intent.  This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of registering and confirming the grant of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the IP Collateral with the PTO and the Copyright Office.  It is intended that the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the Security Interest (as defined in the Security Agreement) granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the IP Collateral, as applicable.  The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement or limit any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Grantors under the Security Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 12.Further Assurances.  Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest or Lien in the IP Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the rights and remedies created hereby or the validity or priority of such security interest or Lien, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest or Lien and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  The obligations under this Section 12 shall not

10

apply to actions associated with requirements of the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States.

SECTION 13.Termination; Release of IP Collateral.  Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest or Lien granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest or Lien granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 14.GOVERNING LAW.  IT IS INTENDED THAT ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, AND PERFORMANCE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 15.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 16.Headings.  Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 17.Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

11

SECTION 18.Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Grantor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 13  hereof.

SECTION 19.Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of each Grantor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each Grantor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by a Grantor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

SECTION 20.Waivers; Amendment.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral

12

Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 21.Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 22.Marshaling.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the IP Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

SECTION 23.Collateral Agent.  Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

SECTION 24.Merger; Integration.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,

13

CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 25.Construction.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

SECTION 26.Incorporation by Reference.  All of the exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 27.Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver.  AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.

SECTION 28.Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

SECTION 29.Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor expressly acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to any Grantor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein,

14

nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the Term Agent is in possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the Term Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any Term Loan Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is by, the Term Agent.

Security Interest

SECTION 2.01Security Interest.  As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns (or, with respect to the Intellectual Property, collaterally assigns) and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, a continuing security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (the “Security Interest”).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney, exercisable by the Collateral Agent whether or not an Event of Default exists, with full power of substitution, at the Collateral Agent’s option, to file or transmit one or more Financing Statements, amendments, continuation statements, or to sign other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor (each Grantor hereby appointing the Collateral Agent as such Person’s attorney to sign such Person’s name to any such instrument or document, whether or not an Event of Default exists), and naming any Grantor or the Grantors, as debtors, and the Collateral Agent, as secured party.  Any such financing statement or amendment may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect or may describe the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, regardless, in each case, of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or may contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance.  Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements, amendments or continuation statements previously filed by Agent in any jurisdiction.  Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any Financing Statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

SECTION 2.02No Assumption of Liability.  The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

(a)Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent the notices that are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement.  Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement unless all filings have been made under the UCC or other applicable Law (other than laws of jurisdictions outside the United States) that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances) for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties.

(b)Each Grantor agrees (i) to maintain, at its own cost and expense, records with respect to the Collateral owned by it which are complete and accurate in all material respects and which are consistent in all material respects with, or better than, its current practices, but in any event to include accounting records which are complete in all material respects indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Collateral, and (ii) at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any and all Collateral.

SECTION 4.02Protection of Security.  Each Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all actions reasonably necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

14

Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement (including, but not limited to, preserving the Collateral Agent’s Lien priority position on the Collateral (other than Permitted Encumbrances)), and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to undertake any of the foregoing and shall have no liability on account of any action so undertaken except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that the Collateral Agent’s actions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided further that the making of any such payments or the taking of any such action by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising from any Grantor’s failure to have made such payments or taken such action.  Nothing in this Section 4.05 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, priority of Liens, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.07Continuing Obligations of the Grantors.  Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

SECTION 4.10Insurance.

(a)Each Grantor shall (i) maintain or shall cause to be maintained such insurance as is required pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement; (ii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by applicable Law; and (iii) furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written request, full information as to the insurance carried.

(b)Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact), exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.  In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance as required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement, and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable.  All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.10, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

16

thereof, and such Grantor shall take such actions as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Credit Parties, a perfected security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof.

SECTION 4.12Legend.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and at the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, its Accounts and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

SECTION 4.13Other Actions.  In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the Collateral, each Grantor covenants and agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

(a)If any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall become evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper with a face value individually or in the aggregate in excess of $250,000, other than such Instruments and Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 3.08 hereto, the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Chattel Paper shall promptly (but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify.

(b)No Grantor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary unless (i) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, and such Grantor shall have duly executed and delivered a control agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be.  Except as otherwise permitted in Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 8.21, each Grantor shall accept any cash and Investment Property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and within one (1) Business Day of actual receipt thereof, deposit any and all cash and Investment Property (other than any Investment Property which consists of any Equity Interests pledged, and delivered, to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement), received by it into a Deposit Account or Securities Account subject to the Collateral Agent’s Control.  The provisions of this Section 4.13(b) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary.  No Grantor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any Person other than the

17

Collateral Agent and, solely with respect to Securities Accounts of the Grantors covered by a Blocked Account Agreement in favor of the Term Agent, the Term Agent.

(c)As between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Grantors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of, the Investment Property and Pledged Securities (except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that such loss, damage or destruction has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent), whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, a Commodity Intermediary, any Grantor or any other Person.

(d)If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall become evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000, other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule 3.10 hereto, the Grantor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent Control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

(e)If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued with a face value in excess of $250,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent (and subject to Section 8.21), pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit and to cause the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to be paid directly to the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Dominion Event, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be paid directly to the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Dominion Event and applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.14Joinder of Additional Grantors.  Upon the formation or acquisition of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary (other than any CFC or a Subsidiary that is held directly or indirectly by a CFC) by any Grantor, then such Grantor shall, at such Grantor’s expense,

18

promptly (and in any event within (y) fifteen (15) days for any Subsidiary other than an Immaterial Subsidiary and (z) with respect to any Immaterial Subsidiary, not later than the next date on which the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) of the Credit Agreement are required to be delivered) cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and to comply with the requirements of Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, within the time periods specified therein, and, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Grantor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.  The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 4.15Government Contracts.  Other than Accounts and Chattel Paper the aggregate value (for all such Accounts and Chattel Paper) of which does not at any one time exceed $500,000, if any Account or Chattel Paper arises out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, Grantors shall promptly (and in any event not later than concurrently with the delivery of the Compliance Certificate and the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(c) of the Credit Agreement) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days)  after request by the Collateral Agent, execute any instruments or take any steps reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in order that all moneys due or to become due under such contract or contracts shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Credit Parties, and shall provide written notice thereof under the Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable law.

SECTION 4.16Intellectual Property.

(a)Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, in order to facilitate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent one or more Intellectual Property Security Agreements to further evidence the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks, or Copyrights.

(b)Each Grantor shall have the duty, with respect to Intellectual Property that is necessary in the conduct of such Grantor’s business, to take commercially reasonable steps to protect and diligently enforce and defend at such Grantor’s expense its Intellectual Property.

(c)Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Credit Parties shall have no duties with respect to any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of any Grantor.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.16(c), Grantors acknowledge and agree that no Credit Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property

19

Licenses against any other Person, but the Collateral Agent may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of the Borrowers and may be chargeable to the Loan Account.

(d)Each Grantor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a written report of all new Patents, Trademarks or Material Copyrights that are registered or the subject of pending applications for registrations, and of all Intellectual Property Licenses that are material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business at the times set forth in Section 6.02(b)(i)(D) of the Credit Agreement (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, more frequently if requested by the Collateral Agent), in each case, which were acquired, registered, or for which applications for registration were filed by any Grantor during the prior period and any statement of use or amendment to allege use with respect to intent-to-use trademark applications.  In the case of such registrations or applications therefor (except for Copyrights, only Material Copyrights), which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Intellectual Property.  In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable Grantor shall promptly cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such Patent, Trademark and Material Copyright registrations and applications therefor (with the exception of Trademark applications filed on an intent-to-use basis for which no statement of use or amendment to allege use has been filed) and material Intellectual Property Licenses as being subject to the security interests created thereunder.

(e)Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any material Copyright (with such materiality being reasonably determined by such Grantor in good faith, each a “Material Copyright”) with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in another country without giving the Collateral Agent written notice thereof before or at the time of such filing and complying with Section 4.16(a). Upon receipt from the United States Copyright Office of notice of registration of any Material Copyright, each Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such receipt) notify (but without duplication of any notice required by Section 6.14(d)) the Collateral Agent of such registration by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent sufficient for the Collateral Agent to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Material Copyright.  If any Grantor acquires from any Person any Material Copyright registered with the United States Copyright Office or an application to register any Material Copyright with the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such acquisition) notify the Collateral Agent of such

20

acquisition and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent, documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent sufficient for the Collateral Agent to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Material Copyright.  In the case of such Material Copyright registrations or applications therefor which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following such acquisition) file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Material Copyrights.

(f)[Intentionally omitted].

(g)No Grantor shall enter into any Intellectual Property License to receive any license or rights in any Intellectual Property of any other Person that is necessary in the conduct such Grantor’s business unless such Grantor has used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder) to the (and any transferees) of the Collateral Agent.

22

enforcement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, or to present or file any claim or notice.  It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of each Grantor for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.  To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 5.03No Obligation to Act.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 5.02, but if the Collateral Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act, except where a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and nonappealable judgment that the subject act or omission to act has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.  The provisions of Section 5.02 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by applicable Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE 6

Remedies

SECTION 6.01Remedies upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

(a)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles), Letters of Credit, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, Investment Property and any other Collateral, the Collateral Agent may collect the Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.

(b)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Collateral Agent may: (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Collateral Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the

23

purposes of collecting any such Accounts and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the Collateral Agent’s rights set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

(c)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Collateral Agent may: (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received as provided in Section 5.03 hereof; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Secured Obligations; and (iii) demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Investment Property under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

24

(d)With respect to any Collateral, the Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor.  The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory or other Collateral with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor).  Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory or other Collateral (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein.  Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(e)With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Collateral Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Collateral Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors.  In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Collateral Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.01, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Collateral Agent’s exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies (as defined herein) hereunder, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)The Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and such Grantor.

(g)The Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to name the Collateral Agent as consignee on any Documents and to furnish the Collateral Agent with control over any such Documents.

(h)Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

25

(i)Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Collateral Agent shall provide the Grantors such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made.  Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to such Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.  Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

(j)Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale.  At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Collateral Agent on credit, the Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment in full is received thereon by the Collateral Agent.  In the event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and apply the proceeds from such resale in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 of this Agreement.

(k)At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from any Grantor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of

26

sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.

(l)For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations indefeasibly paid in full.

(m)As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

(n)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(o)The Collateral Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses (to the extent permitted by such Intellectual Property Licenses) in connection with the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Equity Interests that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees.

(p)Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.02Application of Proceeds.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any

27

Collateral consisting of cash, or any Collateral granted under any other of the Collateral Documents, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or by the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

ARTICLE 7

Perfection of Security Interest

SECTION 7.01Perfection by Filing.  This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section 5.02, to file one or more Financing Statements or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Grantors shall pay the Collateral Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.02Other Perfection, Etc.  Each Grantor shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the Collateral Agent (a) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Collateral Agent, (b) to obtain Control of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper, with any agreements establishing Control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and (c) otherwise to insure the continued perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral with the priority described in Section 3.03 and of the preservation of its rights therein (including, but not limited to, the execution on behalf of the Grantors (including supplementing or changing the schedules thereof) and filing of Intellectual Property Security Agreements (and amendments thereto) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office).

SECTION 7.03Savings Clause.  Nothing contained in this Article 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in any of the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder except (and then only to the extent) as mandated by the UCC.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

34

(b)Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the Security Interest granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC-3 termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Security Interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 8.14 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 8.15Conflict.

(a)The provisions of the Pledge Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Pledge Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Pledge Agreements, the terms of the Pledge Agreements shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the applicable Pledge Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

(b)The provisions of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Intellectual Property Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 8.16Marshaling.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies

35

hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

SECTION 8.17Collateral Agent.  Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

SECTION 8.18Merger; Integration.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 8.19Construction.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

SECTION 8.20Incorporation by Reference.  All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 8.21Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to any Grantor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.

36

If and to the extent the Term Agent is in possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the Term Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any Term Loan Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such Term Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is by, the Term Agent.

Together with all substitutions for and proceeds of any of the foregoing received upon the rental, sale, exchange, transfer, collection or other disposition or substitution of it and together with all general intangibles related to any of the foregoing Property now owned by Grantor or existing or hereafter acquired, created or arising.

All the property described or referred to in this Section 3.1 is collectively referred to as the “Collateral”, and the Collateral shall include any and all proceeds of any of the above-described Collateral; provided, however, that the Collateral shall not include, and the security interest in the Collateral shall not attach to, any Excluded Assets.  The Secured Property and the Collateral are collectively referred to as the “Property”. In the event of any express inconsistency between the provisions of this Section and Article 8 regarding any Lease, the provisions of Article 8, to the extent valid, enforceable and in effect, shall govern and control.

Section 3.2Grantor’s Covenants Concerning Personalty Subject to the UCC.  Debtor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that in addition to and cumulative of any other remedies granted in this Security Instrument to Secured Party or the Trustee, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in Article 6 below), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)Secured Party is authorized, in any legal manner and without breach of the peace, to take possession of the Collateral and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Debtor any and all rights which Debtor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Collateral, including the right to sell or rent the same for the account of Debtor and to deduct from such sale proceeds or such rents all reasonable, documented and actual costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Secured Party in collecting such sale proceeds or such rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Collateral and to apply the remainder of such sales proceeds or such

7

rents on the Secured Obligations in such manner as Secured Party may elect. Secured Party may take possession of Debtor’s premises to store any Collateral and to conduct any sale as provided for herein, all without compensation to Debtor.  All reasonable, documented and actual costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Secured Party in collecting such sales proceeds or such rents, or in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving such properties, if not paid out of such sales proceeds or such rents as hereinabove provided, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Debtor and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations.  If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Secured Party may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Debtor, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer. In connection with any action taken by Secured Party pursuant to this Section, Secured Party shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Debtor resulting from any failure to sell or let the Collateral, or any part thereof, or from other act or omission of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any sale or lease agreement covering the Collateral or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.

(b)Secured Party may, after providing written notice to Debtor at least ten (10) days prior to a public or private sale, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale (with or without appraisal or having the Collateral at the place of sale) for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Secured Party may deem best, and Secured Party or any Beneficiary may be the purchaser of any and all of the Collateral so sold and may apply upon the purchase price therefor any of the Secured Obligations and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind.  In any such public or private sale, each secured party if bidding for its own account or for its own account and the accounts of other secured party is prohibited from including in the amount of its bid an amount to be applied as a credit against its Note; instead, such secured party must bid in cash only; provided that this provision is for the sole benefit of Secured Party and shall not inure to the benefit of any Debtor.  However, in any such public or private sale, Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) submit a bid for all secured parties (including itself) in the form of a credit against the Secured Obligations owed to all of secured parties, and Secured Party or its designee may (but shall not be obligated to) accept title to property purchased at such public or private sale for and on behalf of all secured parties.  Upon any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Debtor has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. To the extent notice is required by applicable law, Secured Party shall give Debtor written notice at the address set forth herein (which shall satisfy any requirement of notice or reasonable notice in any applicable statute) of Secured Party’s intention to make any such public or private sale. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law) shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for a public sale, or at least (10) calendar days before the date after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law), in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale or, in case of private sale or other disposition other than a public sale, the time after which the private sale or other such disposition is to be made. Any public sale shall be held at

8

such time or times, within the ordinary business hours and at such place or places, as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at any time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall incur no liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Each and every method of disposition described in this Section shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.  Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(c)Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured party after default under the UCC and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

(i)Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Secured Party designates which is mutually convenient to allow Secured Party to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; and

(ii)it shall not be necessary that Secured Party take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof before the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Article is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; and

(iii)before application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable, documented and actual expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable, documented and actual attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, Debtor to remain liable for any deficiency; and

(iv)the sale by Secured Party of less than the whole of the Collateral shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder, and Secured Party is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales hereunder until the whole of the Collateral shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Collateral shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness secured hereby, this Security Instrument and the security interest created hereby shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made; and

(v)in the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Secured Party, such sale shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder and Secured Party shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder; and

(vi)Secured Party may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Secured Party,

9

including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Secured Party; and

(vii)demand of performance, advertisement and presence of property at sale are hereby WAIVED and Secured Party is hereby authorized to sell hereunder any evidence of Secured Obligations it may hold as security for the Secured Obligations.  Debtor WAIVES the right to require Secured Party to pursue any other remedy for the benefit of Debtor and agrees that Secured Party may proceed against Debtor (or any other party obligated in any manner for payment or performance of any portion of the Secured Obligations) for the amount of the Secured Obligations owed to Secured Party without taking any action against any other party or any other person or entity and without selling or otherwise proceeding against or applying any of the Collateral in Secured Party’s possession.

Section 3.3                      ��                          UCC Rights are not Exclusive.  Should Secured Party elect to exercise its rights under the UCC as to part of the personal property or fixtures as Collateral described in this Security Instrument, such election shall not preclude Secured Party or the Trustee from exercising any or all of the rights and remedies granted by the other Articles of this Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise as to the remaining personal property or fixtures that are included in the definition of Collateral.  It is expressly agreed that until such time as the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, or until the security interest granted hereby has been released in writing by Beneficiary, this Security Instrument shall remain fully effective as a security agreement, notwithstanding that the lien on real property that is created by this Security Instrument may be extinguished or released by foreclosure of this Security Instrument.

Section 3.4Security Instrument is Also Financing Statement.  Secured Party may, at its election, at any time after delivery of this Security Instrument, file an original of this Security Instrument as a financing statement or sign one or more copies of this Security Instrument to use as a UCC financing statement.  Secured Party’s signature may be placed between the last sentence of this Security Instrument and Debtor’s acknowledgment or may follow Debtor’s acknowledgment. Secured Party’s signature need not be acknowledged and is not necessary to the effectiveness of this Security Instrument as a deed of trust, mortgage, assignment, pledge, security agreement or financing statement (unless otherwise required by applicable law to make such foregoing described documents effective).  Debtor’s address and Secured Party’s address shall be as set forth on page 1 of this Security Instrument.

Section 3.5[Intentionally omitted.]

Section 3.6Secured Party May File Financing and Continuation Statements.  Secured Party is authorized to file this Security Instrument, a financing statement or statements and one or more continuation statements in any jurisdiction where Secured Party reasonably deems it necessary, and at Secured Party’s request, Debtor will join Secured Party in executing one or more financing statements, continuation statements or both pursuant to the UCC, in form satisfactory to Secured Party, and will pay the actual costs of filing or recording them, in all public offices at any time and from time to time whenever filing or recording of this Security Instrument, any financing statement or any continuation statement is reasonably deemed by Secured Party or its counsel to be necessary.

10

Section 3.7Fixtures.  Certain of the Collateral is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Real Property, and when this Security Instrument is filed for record in the real estate records of the county where such fixtures are situated, it shall also automatically operate as a fixture filing with respect to such of the Collateral which is or may become fixtures.

Section 3.8Assignment of Non-UCC Personal Property.  To the extent that any of the Collateral is not subject to the UCC of the state or states where it is situated, Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in the Collateral to secure the Secured Obligations.  Release of the lien of this Security Instrument shall automatically terminate this assignment.

Section 3.9Debtor’s Warranties Concerning Collateral.  Debtor warrants and represents to Secured Party that Debtor is the legal and equitable owner and holder of the Collateral free of any adverse claim and free of any security interest or encumbrance, except only for the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral and except for Permitted Liens.  Debtor agrees to take commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Collateral and its proceeds against all claims and demands of any person at any time claiming the Collateral, its proceeds or any interest in either, except with respect to Permitted Liens.  Debtor also warrants and represents that Debtor has not heretofore signed any other financing statement directly or indirectly affecting the Collateral or any part of it which has not been completely terminated of record, and no such financing statement signed by Debtor is now on file in any public office, except for financing statements filed in favor of Secured Party and other Permitted Liens.

Section 3.10Standard of Care.  Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as Debtor requests in writing, but failure of Secured Party to comply with such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of Secured Party to take any action not so requested by Debtor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of any such Collateral.

Section 3.11Change Terms, Release Collateral.  Secured Party may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby incurring responsibility to Debtor or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of Debtor.  Secured Party shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

ARTICLE 4

GRANTOR’S COVENANTS

Section 4.1Covenants for the Benefit of Beneficiary.  To better secure the Secured Obligations, Grantor covenants and agrees with the Trustee and its substitutes and successors, for the use and benefit of Beneficiary and with the intent that the Trustee, Beneficiary or both may enforce these covenants, that:

(a)Liens, etc. and Remedies Cumulative.  No lien, assignment, security interest, guaranty, right or remedy in favor of Beneficiary granted in, secured by or ancillary to this Security

11

Instrument shall be considered as exclusive, but each shall be cumulative of all others which Beneficiary or the Trustee may now or hereafter have.

(b)Grantor Waives Marshaling of Assets and Sale in Inverse Order of Alienation Rights.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby irrevocably WAIVES all rights of marshalling of assets or sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of this or any other security.

(c)Grantor Will Correct Title Defects.  If at any future time any materially adverse defect should be found to exist in the title to any of the Property, Grantor agrees to promptly commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure the defect and defend the title. If any lien or encumbrance junior, equal or superior in rank or priority to the lien of this Security Instrument should be discovered or arise at any time in the future then, unless Beneficiary is the only holder of it, or such lien or encumbrance constitutes a Permitted Encumbrance, or Beneficiary has given specific prior written consent to it, Grantor agrees to promptly pursue its discharge and removal from the Secured Property. Grantor will notify Beneficiary in writing within five (5) business days of the time that Grantor becomes aware of the filing of any mortgage, lien, security interest, financing statement or other security device whatsoever against the Real Property other than in connection with a Permitted Encumbrance.

(d)Insurance Requirements.  Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain and deliver to Beneficiary policies of insurance with respect to the Real Property in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(e)Beneficiary’s Rights to Collect Insurance Proceeds.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary the exclusive right to collect any and all monies that may become payable under any insurance policies covering any part of the Property, or any risk to or about the Property.  Beneficiary shall fully cooperate with and assist Grantor with respect to the filing of insurance claims and the collection of insurance proceeds so long as Beneficiary reasonably concurs with Grantor’s actions with respect thereto and all reasonable, documented and actual costs incurred by Beneficiary in connection with such cooperation and participation are promptly paid or reimbursed by Grantor upon the request of Beneficiary.

(f)Effects of Foreclosure on Insurance Policies and Post-foreclosure Event Claims.  Foreclosure of this Security Instrument shall automatically constitute foreclosure upon all policies of insurance insuring any part of or risk to the Property and all claims thereunder arising from post-foreclosure events.  The successful bidder or bidders for the Property at foreclosure, as their respective interests may appear, shall automatically accede to all of Grantor’s rights in, under and to such policies and all post-foreclosure event claims, and such bidder(s) shall be named as insured(s) on request, whether or not the trustee’s deed or bill of sale to any such successful bidder mentions insurance.

(g)Application of Insurance Proceeds Collected Before Foreclosure.   In the event of any loss or destruction of all or any portion of the Real Property resulting in the payment of insurance proceeds all such proceeds shall be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.  To the extent that the proceeds of insurance are permitted to be utilized by Grantor for the repair, rebuilding

12

and restoration (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration Work”) of the Secured Property, the following terms, conditions and procedures (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Disbursement Procedures”), apply; provided, however, so long as (i) the proceeds of insurance do not exceed $500,000 or (ii) there is no Cash Dominion Event, Grantor will be permitted to complete the applicable Restoration Work without satisfying the requirements of this Section 4.1(g) so long as Grantor promptly commences the Restoration Work, performs the Restoration Work in a good and workmanlike manner:

(1)There shall have been submitted to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall have approved, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the following:

(i)Plans and specifications for the Restoration Work (hereinafter referred to as the “Plans and Specifications”) prepared by an architect reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as the “Restoration Architect”);

(ii)a cost breakdown and analysis (hereinafter referred to as the “Estimated Cost”) certified to Beneficiary by the Restoration Architect, stating that the Restoration Work can be completed in accordance with the above-mentioned Plans and Specifications at the price set forth in the “Restoration Contract” referred to herein;

(iii)a general construction contract (hereinafter referred to as the “Restoration Contract”) with a general contractor (hereinafter referred to as the “Restoration Contractor”) acceptable to Beneficiary pursuant to which the Restoration Work will be performed;

(iv)reasonably satisfactory evidence of the compliance of the Restoration Work with all zoning ordinances, restrictive covenants and other use restrictions and of the availability of all governmental licenses and permits necessary for the performance of the Restoration Work;

(2)If the Estimated Cost of the Restoration Work exceeds the proceeds of the insurance available for application thereto by an amount in excess of $500,000 and there is a Cash Dominion Event, then an amount of money equal to such excess shall be escrowed with Beneficiary prior to the commencement of the Restoration Work to be used solely for the payment of the costs of such Restoration Work, and any amount so escrowed with Beneficiary shall be disbursed by Beneficiary in accordance with the Disbursement Procedures prior to the disbursement of any such insurance proceeds;

(3)After and subject to compliance with all of the foregoing, the amount held by Beneficiary and available for restoration shall be disbursed by Beneficiary to Grantor periodically (but not more frequently than monthly) as the Restoration Work progresses, as follows:

(i)Beneficiary shall have received in connection with each such requested disbursement a draw request from the Restoration Contractor certifying that all work completed to the date of such draw request has been performed in

13

accordance with the Plans and Specifications as approved by Beneficiary in a good and workmanlike manner, which draw request shall have been approved by the Restoration Architect;

(ii)Beneficiary shall have received a certification from the Restoration Architect that the remaining amount of funds held by Beneficiary, including funds held pursuant to subparagraph 2 above, are sufficient to complete the Restoration Work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as approved by Beneficiary;

(iii)Beneficiary shall have also received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (including, without limitation, title certifications, title policy endorsements, lien waivers and affidavits) that all governmental licenses and permits necessary for the performance of the Restoration Work have been secured and the first-in-priority status of this Security Instrument continues without additional exceptions and that no party claims or has a right to claim any lien by virtue of the Restoration Work theretofore completed (except such lien or claim as will be dissolved by payment of the requested disbursement);

(4)Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Beneficiary, each periodic disbursement shall be made subject to a retainage of ten percent (10%) of the amount requested, and the aggregate of the amount so retained shall be disbursed by Beneficiary to Grantor no earlier than thirty-one (31) days and no later than forty-five (45) days after the Restoration Work is completed in accordance with said Plans and Specifications (as evidenced by the certificate of the Restoration Architect), and Beneficiary shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration Work have been paid in full and that no party claims or has a right to claim any lien affecting the Property and arising out of the Restoration Work; and

(5)If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing at any time while any amounts are being held by Beneficiary pursuant to this subparagraph (g) for payments of Restoration Work, then Beneficiary is hereby authorized to apply such amounts toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether the same be then due or not, such application to be made in such manner and order as Beneficiary shall elect, and any balance of insurance proceeds remaining after such application shall be delivered to Grantor.

(h)Application of Insurance Proceeds Collected After Foreclosure.  Unless Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s representative reserves at the foreclosure sale the right to collect any uncollected insurance proceeds recoverable for events occurring before foreclosure (in which event the successful bidder at the sale, if not Beneficiary, shall have no interest in such proceeds and Beneficiary shall apply them, if and when collected, to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as provided in the Credit Agreement, and remit any remaining balance to Grantor or to such other person or entity as is legally entitled to them), all proceeds of all such insurance which are not so reserved by Beneficiary at the foreclosure sale and are not actually received by Beneficiary until after foreclosure shall be the property of the successful bidder or bidders at foreclosure, as their interests may appear, and Grantor shall have no interest in them and shall receive no credit for them.

14

(i)Beneficiary Not Obligated to Require, Provide or Evaluate Insurance.  Beneficiary shall have no duty to Grantor or anyone else to either require or provide any insurance or to determine the adequacy or disclose any inadequacy of any insurance.

(j)Beneficiary May Elect to Insure Only its Own Interests.  If Beneficiary elects at any time or for any reason to purchase insurance relating to the Property, it shall have no obligation to cause Grantor or anyone else to be named as an insured, to cause Grantor’s or anyone else’s interests to be insured or protected or to inform Grantor or anyone else that his or its interests are uninsured or underinsured.

Section 6.4Foreclosure Against Property.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may foreclose this Security Instrument, either by judicial action or through Trustee. If this Security Instrument encumbers more than one parcel of real estate, foreclosure may be by separate parcel or en masse, as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion. Foreclosure through Trustee will be initiated by Beneficiary’s filing of its notice of election and demand for sale of the Secured Property with Trustee.  Upon the filing of such notice of election and demand for sale, Trustee shall promptly comply with all notice and other requirements of the laws of Idaho then in force with respect to such sales, and shall have the required public notice of the time and place of such sale by advertisement weekly in some newspaper of general circulation then published in the County or City and County in which the Secured Property is located.  Any sale conducted by Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be held at the front door of the county courthouse for such County or City and County, or on the Secured Property, or at such other place as similar sales are then customarily held in such County or City and County, provided that the actual place of sale shall be specified in the notice of sale. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Beneficiary in connection with foreclosure of this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, the costs of any appraisals of the Secured Property obtained by Beneficiary, all costs of any receivership for the Secured Property advanced by Beneficiary, all costs of any environmental audits or tests incurred by Beneficiary and all attorneys’ and consultants’ fees incurred by Beneficiary, shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and may be included as part of the amount owing from Grantor to Beneficiary at any foreclosure sale to the extent permitted by law. The proceeds of any sale under this Section shall be applied first to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Trustee or other officer conducting the sale (all of which shall be part of the obligations secured by this Security Instrument), and then to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations in the manner of application as provided in the Credit Agreement; any surplus remaining shall be paid to such person or persons as may be lawfully entitled to such surplus.  Beneficiary may bid at any such foreclosure sale.  It shall not be obligatory upon the purchaser at any such sale to see to the application of the purchase money.  At the conclusion of any foreclosure sale, the officer conducting the sale shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at the sale a certificate of purchase which shall describe the Secured Property sold to such purchaser and shall state that upon the expiration of the applicable periods for redemption, the holder of such certificate will be entitled to a deed to the Secured Property described in the certificate.  After the expiration of all applicable periods of redemption, the officer who conducted such sale shall, upon request, execute and deliver an appropriate deed to the holder of the certificate of purchase or the last certificate of redemption, as the case may be.  Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Security Instrument dealing with foreclosure procedures or specifying particular actions to be taken by Beneficiary or by Trustee or any similar officer shall be deemed to contradict or add to the requirements and procedures now or hereafter specified by Idaho law, and any such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Idaho law applicable at the time of foreclosure.

(b)In addition to all other remedies described or referenced in this Security Instrument, Beneficiary may have all or any part of the Collateral combined with the Secured Property covered hereby and sold together with such Secured Property as an entirety at any foreclosure sale, or Beneficiary, at its option, may proceed solely or separately against the Collateral or any part thereof and have the same sold separately as provided by the UCC, either in one parcel or

19

in such parcels, manner or order as Beneficiary may elect; Beneficiary may take immediate and exclusive possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that purpose may, with or without judicial process, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom; Beneficiary may hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Collateral for sale until disposed of, or may propose to retain the Collateral subject to Grantor’s right of redemption in partial or total satisfaction of Grantor’s obligations as provided in the UCC; Beneficiary is entitled, without removal, to render the Collateral unusable and dispose of the Collateral on the Grantor’s premises; Beneficiary may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary for its possession at a place to be designated by Beneficiary which is reasonably convenient to both parties; unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Beneficiary shall give the Grantor at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale of any Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended dispositions thereof is to be made, by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Grantor at the address provided in this Security Instrument, which provisions for notice Grantor and Beneficiary agree are reasonable; Beneficiary may buy all or part of the Collateral at any public sale, and if the Collateral is of a type which is subject to widely distributed standard price quotations, Beneficiary may buy at private sale; and further, Beneficiary shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available by applicable laws and judicial decisions.

(d)After the completion of any sale or sales made by Trustee under or by virtue of this Section 6.4 and upon the expiration of the applicable periods for redemption, Trustee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring the estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold, but without any covenant or warranty express or implied.  Any recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 6.4 whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, operate to divest the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Grantor.

Section 6.5Application of Foreclosure Proceeds.  The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any sales made under or by virtue of this section, together with any other sums which then may be held by Trustee or Beneficiary under the provisions of this section or otherwise, shall be applied, subject to the requirements of Idaho law in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.6Beneficiary May Require Abandonment and Recommencement of Sale.  If the Trustee or his substitute or successor should commence the sale, Beneficiary may at any time before the sale is completed direct the Trustee to abandon the sale, and may at any time or times thereafter during the continuance of an Event of Default direct the Trustee to again commence foreclosure; or, irrespective of whether foreclosure is commenced by the Trustee, Beneficiary may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default institute suit for collection of the Secured Obligations and foreclosure of this Security Instrument.  If Beneficiary

20

should institute suit for collection of the Secured Obligations and foreclosure of this Security Instrument, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry of final judgment require the Trustee to sell the Secured Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument.

Section 6.7Multiple Sales; Security Instrument Continues in Effect.  No single sale or series of sales by the Trustee or by any substitute or successor and no judicial foreclosure shall extinguish the lien or exhaust the power of sale under this Security Instrument except with respect to the items of property sold, nor shall it extinguish, terminate or impair Grantor’s contractual obligations under this Security Instrument, but such lien and power shall exist for so long as, and may be exercised in any manner by law or in this Security Instrument provided as often as the circumstances require to give Beneficiary full relief under this Security Instrument, and such contractual obligations shall continue in full force and effect until final termination of this Security Instrument.

Section 6.8Beneficiary May Bid and Purchase.  Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 6, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Secured Property or any part thereof and in lieu of cash payment therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations secured by this Security Instrument, the net sales price after deducting there from the expenses of the sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Security Instrument.  Beneficiary, upon so acquiring the Secured Property or any part thereof shall be entitled to hold, lease, rent, operate, manage and sell the same in any manner provided by applicable laws.

Section 6.9Entry on Real Property.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary is authorized, whether prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records, and all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without limitation, all software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property.  Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property or any part thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose.  All reasonable and documented costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Beneficiary in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Grantor (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Security Instrument.  If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Beneficiary may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Grantor.  In connection with any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting from any failure to let the Property or any part thereof, or from any act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Grantor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising.  Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Beneficiary with respect to the Property taken under this Section 6.9.

21

Section 6.10Right to Receiver.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at any time after commencement of a Trustee’s foreclosure sale or any legal proceedings under this Security Instrument, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver of the Property, as a matter of strict right, without notice to Grantor and without regard to the adequacy of the value of the Property for the repayment of the Secured Obligations, and Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to such an appointment.  Any receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to possess, rent, maintain, repair and operate the Property upon such terms and conditions as may be approved by the court, and shall apply the rents realized in the same manner and order as foreclosure proceeds in accordance with Section 6.5.

Section 6.11Tenants at Sufferance.  Grantor agrees for itself and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, that if any of them shall hold possession of the Property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure hereunder, Grantor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become and be considered as tenants at sufferance of the purchaser or purchasers at such foreclosure sale; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall, on the tenth (10th) day following the foreclosure sale, be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to such purchaser or purchasers for rental on said premises, and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, subject to the requirements of Idaho law, all damages which may be sustained by any such tenant as a result thereof being hereby expressly waived in order for it or them to exercise its or their rights to collect the Rental (as defined in Section 8.1 hereof) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.

ARTICLE 7

BENEFICIARY’S RIGHT TO PERFORM GRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS

Section 7.1Beneficiary May Elect to Perform Defaulted Obligations.  If Grantor should fail to comply with any of its other agreements, covenants or obligations under this Security Instrument or any other loan document or instrument relating to or securing the Secured Obligations so as to cause such failure to constitute a Default or Event of Default which is then continuing, then Beneficiary (in Grantor’s name or in Beneficiary’s own name) may perform them or cause them to be performed for Grantor’s account and at Grantor’s expense, but shall have no obligation to perform any of them or cause them to be performed.  Any and all expenses thus incurred or paid by Beneficiary under the provisions of this paragraph shall constitute Secured Obligations of the Grantor, due and payable to Beneficiary on demand, and each shall bear interest from the date Beneficiary pays it until the date Grantor repays it to Beneficiary, at the highest Default Rate applicable under the Credit Agreement.  Upon making any such payment or incurring any such expense, Beneficiary shall be fully and automatically subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment.  Any amounts owing by Grantor to Beneficiary pursuant to this or any other provision of this Security Instrument shall automatically and without notice be and become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be secured by this and all other instruments securing the Secured Obligations.  The amount and nature of any such expense and the time when it was paid shall be fully established by the affidavit of Beneficiary or any of Beneficiary’s officers or agents or by the affidavit of any original, substitute or successor Trustee acting under this Security Instrument.

22

Section 7.2Exercise of Rights is not Waiver or Cure of Default.  The exercise of the privileges granted to Beneficiary in this Article shall in no event be considered or constitute a cure of the default or a waiver of Beneficiary’s right at any time after an Event of Default to declare the Secured Obligations to be at once due and payable, but is cumulative of such right and of all other rights given by this Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents or instruments relating to the Secured Obligations, and of all rights given Beneficiary by law.

ARTICLE 8

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

Section 8.1Assignment of Rents, Revenues, Income and Profits.  Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all rents (severed or unsevered), revenues, income, profits and proceeds of the foregoing (“Rental”) payable under each Lease (hereinafter defined) now or at any time hereinafter existing to secure the Secured Obligations, such assignment being upon the terms set forth in Section 8.2 below.  The foregoing assignment and transfer is absolute, unconditional and present, and not merely as additional collateral security for the indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument.  The term “Lease” or “Leases” means any oral or written agreement, now existing or made later, between Grantor and another person or entity to use or occupy all or any portion of the Property, together with any guaranties or security for the obligations of any tenant, lessee, sublessee or other person or entity having the right to occupy, use or manage any part of the Property under a Lease.  Each time Grantor enters into a Lease, such Lease shall automatically become subject to this Article without further action.

Section 8.2Terms of Assignment.  Beneficiary grants permission to Grantor to collect and retain the rent, income, issues, and profits from the Secured Property as they become due and payable upon the following terms: (a) except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall have the right to collect Rental and each tenant may pay Rental directly to Grantor; but after an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues, Grantor may not collect Rental and to the extent Grantor receives any Rental thereafter accruing or paid, Grantor covenants to hold all such Rental in trust for the use and benefit of Beneficiary; (b) upon receipt from Beneficiary of notice that an Event of Default exists and is continuing, each tenant is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Beneficiary all Rental thereafter accruing or payable and receipt of Rental by Beneficiary shall be a release of such tenant to the extent of all amounts so paid; (c) Rental so received by Beneficiary shall be applied by Beneficiary, first to the expenses, if any, of collection and then in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof; (d) without impairing its rights hereunder, Beneficiary may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Grantor Rental so received by Beneficiary, or any part thereof; (e) Beneficiary shall not be liable for its failure to collect or its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of Rental, but shall be accountable only for Rental that it shall actually receive; and (f) the assignment contained in this Article shall terminate upon the release of this Security Instrument, but no tenant shall be required to take notice of termination until a copy of such release shall have been delivered to such tenant.  It shall never be necessary for Beneficiary to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Article.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document, it is agreed that any Rental will not constitute a payment by the Grantor to Beneficiary of any portion of the Secured Obligations (and hence will not be credited to the Secured Obligations) until the Rental is actually paid to the Beneficiary and received and retained by the Beneficiary and then, in such event, the Rental so

23

received shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.2(c).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document, this Article shall not make Beneficiary an owner or operator of the Property for the purposes of environmental liability and this Article shall not make Beneficiary a partner of Grantor.  Further, this Article shall be effective and perfected upon recordation of this document.

Section 8.3Remedies.  In order for Beneficiary to exercise its rights to collect Rental, should an Event of Default occur which is continuing, Grantor agrees to deliver to Beneficiary possession and control of all Rental held by Grantor in trust for the benefit of Beneficiary, provided, however, that Grantor may apply a portion of such Rental to no more than one month’s normal and actual operating costs of the Property.  Grantor specifically agrees that Beneficiary may upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, if such Event of Default is then continuing, and without bringing any action or proceeding, personally or through an agent selected by Beneficiary or by receiver to be appointed by the Court, take possession and control of all or any part of the Property and may with or without possession of the Secured Property receive and collect all Rental theretofore accrued and all thereafter accruing therefrom until the final termination of this Security Instrument applying so much thereof as may be collected first to the expenses of Beneficiary incurred in obtaining the Rental and then applying the Rental so received in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof.  Any such action by Beneficiary shall not operate as a waiver of the Event of Default in question, or as an affirmance of any Lease or of the rights of any tenant in the event title to that part of the Property covered by the Lease or held by the tenant should be acquired by Beneficiary or other purchaser at foreclosure sale.  Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent may use against Grantor or any other person such lawful or peaceable means as the person acting may see fit to enforce the collection of any such Rental or to secure possession of the Property, or any part of it and may settle or compromise on any terms as Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent sees fit, the liability of any person or persons for any such Rental.  In particular, Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent may institute and prosecute to final conclusion actions of forcible entry and detainer, or actions of trespass to try title, or actions for damages, or any other appropriate actions, in the name of Beneficiary or Grantor, and may settle, compromise or abandon any such actions as Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent may see fit; and Grantor binds itself and its successors and assigns to take whatever lawful or peaceable steps Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent may ask of it or any such person or concern so claiming to take for such purposes, including the institution and prosecution of actions of the character above stated.  However, Beneficiary’s agent shall not be obligated to collect any such Rental or be liable or chargeable for failure to do so.  Upon any sale of the Property or any part thereof in foreclosure of the lien or security interest created by this Security Instrument, such Rental so sold which thereafter accrues shall be deemed included in such sale and shall pass to the purchaser free and clear of the assignment made in this Article.  Nothing in this Section is intended to require the Beneficiary to institute any legal proceedings or engage in any self help remedies in order to make the absolute assignment of the Rental to Beneficiary operative.

Section 8.4Mortgagee in Possession; No Liability of Beneficiary.  Beneficiary’s acceptance of this assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Beneficiary a “mortgagee in possession,” nor obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any of the Leases or to the Property, take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses or perform any obligation or liability under the Leases, or assume any obligation under the Leases including the obligation to return any deposit delivered to Grantor by any tenant.  Beneficiary shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about the Property, except injury or

24

damage resulting from Beneficiary’s willful misconduct or negligence.  Neither the collection of Rental due under the Leases herein described nor possession of the Property by Beneficiary shall render Beneficiary liable with respect to any obligations of Grantor under any of the Leases.

Section 8.5Additional Covenants, Warranties and Representations Concerning Leases and Rental.  Grantor covenants, warrants and represents that:

(a)Grantor has not entered into any prior oral or written assignment, pledge or reservation of the Rental, entered into any prior assignment or pledge of Grantor’s landlord interests in any Lease or performed any act or executed any other instruments which might prevent or limit Beneficiary from operating under the terms and conditions of this Article;

(b)Grantor has good title to the Leases and Rental hereby assigned and the authority to assign the same, and no other person or entity has any right, title or interest in and to the landlord’s interests therein;

(c)Grantor shall (i) perform all material terms and conditions of the Leases, (ii) upon Beneficiary’s request, execute an additional assignment to Beneficiary of all Leases then affecting the Property and all Rental and other sums due thereunder by assignment(s) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary and (iii) at the request of Beneficiary, record such Leases, a notice of lease or similar document should statutory requirements control, and the assignment(s) thereof to Beneficiary;

(d)Grantor shall enforce the tenants’ obligations under the Leases in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business;

(e)Grantor shall neither create nor permit any encumbrance upon its interest as landlord under the Leases, except for this Security Instrument, Permitted Liens and any other encumbrances permitted by this Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(f)Grantor shall not encumber or assign, or permit the encumbrance or assignment of, any Leases or Rental without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, except as otherwise permitted by this Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(g)Grantor shall not, outside the ordinary course of business, waive, amend, modify or release any material obligation of any tenant under the Leases without Beneficiary’s prior written consent;

(h)Each Lease executed after the date hereof shall contain a provision effectively subordinating such Lease to this Security Instrument; and

(i)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall from time to time furnish to Beneficiary, promptly after Beneficiary’s demand therefor, true, correct and complete copies of all Leases or any portion of the Leases specified by Beneficiary.

25

Section 8.6Merger.  There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee or any other estate in the Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

Section 8.7Reassignment.  By Beneficiary’s acceptance of this Security Instrument, it is understood and agreed that a full and complete release of this Security Instrument shall operate as a full and complete reassignment to Grantor of the Beneficiary’s rights and interests assigned to Beneficiary under this Article (subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions of Section 9.16 below).

Section 8.8Subordination of Security Instrument to Leases.  It is agreed and understood that Beneficiary hereby reserves the right and shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without the consent or joinder of any other party, to subordinate this Security Instrument and the liens, assignments and security interests created by this Security Instrument to all or any of the Leases regardless of the respective priority of any of such Leases and this Security Instrument.  Upon doing so and filing evidence of such subordination in the real property records in the county or counties where the Real Property is located, a foreclosure of Beneficiary’s liens, assignments and security interests under this Security Instrument shall be subject to and shall not operate to extinguish any of said Leases as to which such subordination is operative.

ARTICLE 9

GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.1Secured Obligations May be Changed without Affecting this Security Instrument.  Any of the Secured Obligations may be extended, rearranged, renewed, increased or otherwise changed in any way, and any part of the security described in this Security Instrument or any other security for any part of the Secured Obligations may be waived or released without in anyway altering or diminishing the force, effect or lien of this Security Instrument, and the lien, assignment and security interest granted by this Security Instrument shall continue as a prior lien, assignment and security interest on all of the Property not expressly so released, until the final termination of this Security Instrument.

Section 9.2Usury Not Intended; Savings Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of any amounts accrued or paid pursuant to this Security Instrument which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest ever exceed the maximum nonusurious interest rate permitted by applicable state or federal laws, whichever permit the higher rate. In this connection, Grantor and Beneficiary stipulate and agree that it is their common and overriding intent to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Security Instrument shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws. Grantor shall never be liable for interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws. If, for any reason whatever, such interest paid or received during the full term of the applicable indebtedness produces a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws, Beneficiary shall credit against the principal of such indebtedness (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of such interest) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid to produce a rate equal to the maximum rate permitted by

26

applicable laws. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the applicable indebtedness, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of such indebtedness. The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between Grantor and Beneficiary.

Section 9.3Subrogation to Liens Discharged.  Grantor hereby agrees that Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all rights, titles, interests, liens, benefits, remedies, equities, superior title and security interests (the “Subrogated Liens”) owned, claimed or held as security for any debt or other obligation (the “Discharged Obligations”) directly or indirectly satisfied, discharged or paid with money or other property advanced by Beneficiary. Irrespective of any formal or informal acknowledgment of partial or complete satisfaction or release of the Discharged Obligations, the Subrogated Liens shall be continued, renewed, extended, brought forward and rearranged as security for the Secured Obligations in addition to and cumulative of the lien and security interest of this Security Instrument.  Foreclosure under this Security Instrument shall constitute foreclosure of the Subrogated Liens.

Section 9.4[Intentionally omitted.]

Section 9.5Condemnation.  If before final termination of this Security Instrument, all or a portion of the Secured Property is taken for public or quasi-public purposes, either through eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, by voluntary conveyance under threat of condemnation with Beneficiary’s express written consent and joinder or otherwise, Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any and all sums of money awarded or allowed as damages, payments in lieu of condemnation awards or otherwise to or for the account of the owner of the Secured Property or any portion of it on account of such taking shall be paid and delivered to Beneficiary, and they are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, and shall be paid directly to Beneficiary.   All proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Secured Property shall be applied, first, to reimburse Beneficiary or the Trustee for all actual and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with collection of such proceeds and, second, the remainder of said proceeds shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement.  Grantor agrees to execute such further assignments of all such proceeds, judgments, decrees and awards as Beneficiary may reasonably request.  Beneficiary is hereby authorized, in the name of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or award.  Beneficiary shall not be, in any event or circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards.

Section 9.6Notices. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any notice satisfying the notice requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement shall be satisfactory under this Security Instrument.

Section 9.7Beneficiary and Grantor.  The term “Beneficiary” as used in this Security Instrument shall mean and include the Beneficiary, and upon any assignment from Beneficiary, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, to any person or entity other than the above-

27

named Beneficiary, effective as of the time of such assignment, the term “Beneficiary” shall mean such assignee, to the exclusion of all prior beneficiaries.  The term “Grantor, its successors and assigns” shall also include the heirs and legal representatives of each Grantor who is a natural person and the receivers, conservators, custodians and trustees of each Grantor.  In general, Grantor may not assign or delegate any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other loan document or instrument relating to the Secured Obligations without Beneficiary’s express prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or delegation without it shall be void or voidable at Beneficiary’s election; provided, however, that Grantor may delegate its obligations under this Security Instrument regarding the management and maintenance of the Secured Property, to reputable agents or independent contractors without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, but in any and all such events, Grantor shall remain fully obligated to Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument and all other Loan Documents for the complete and full compliance with and performance of all such obligations.

Section 9.8Article, Section and Exhibit References, Numbers and Headings.  References in this Security Instrument to Articles, Sections and Exhibits refer to Articles, Sections and Exhibits in and to this Security Instrument unless otherwise specified.  The Article and Section numbers, Exhibit designations and headings used in this Security Instrument are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in interpreting, applying or enforcing this Security Instrument.

Section 9.9Exhibits Incorporated.  All exhibits, annexes, appendices and schedules referred to any place in the text of this Security Instrument are hereby incorporated into it at that place in the text, to the same effect as if set out there verbatim.

Section 9.10“Including” is not Limiting.  Wherever the term “including” or a similar term is used in this Security Instrument, it shall be read as if it were written, “including by way of example only and without in any way limiting the generality of the clause or concept referred to.”

Section 9.11Gender.  The masculine and neuter pronouns used in this Security Instrument each includes the masculine, feminine and neuter genders.

Section 9.12Severability.  If any provision of this Security Instrument is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Security Instrument shall not be affected thereby, and this Security Instrument shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the intent of the parties to it.  Each waiver in this Security Instrument is subject to the overriding and controlling rule that it shall be effective only if and to the extent that (a) it is not prohibited by applicable law and (b) applicable law neither provides for nor allows any material sanctions to be imposed against Beneficiary for having bargained for and obtained it.

Section 9.13. Indemnity.  Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Beneficiary or Trustee in the exercise of the rights and powers granted to Beneficiary and Trustee in this Security Instrument, and Grantor hereby expressly waives and releases any such liability, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.  Grantor shall indemnify and save Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable

28

and documented attorneys’ fees and court costs (collectively, “Claims”), of whatever kind or nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Beneficiary at any time by any third party which relate to or arise from:  (a) any suit or proceeding (including probate and bankruptcy proceedings), or the threat thereof, in or to which Beneficiary may or does become a party, either as plaintiff or as a defendant, by reason of this Security Instrument or for the purpose of protecting the lien of this Security Instrument; (b) the offer for sale or sale of all or any portion of the Property; and (c) the ownership, leasing, use, operation or maintenance of the Property, if such Claims relate to or arise from actions taken prior to the surrender of possession of the Property to Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any Claims directly arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.  All reasonable and documented costs provided for herein and paid for by Beneficiary shall be so much additional Indebtedness and shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Beneficiary and with interest thereon from the date incurred by Beneficiary until paid.

Section 9.14Any Unsecured Debt is Deemed Paid First.  If any part of the Secured Obligations cannot lawfully be secured by this Security Instrument, or if the lien, assignments and security interest of this Security Instrument cannot be lawfully enforced to pay any part of the Secured Obligations, then and in either such event, at the option of Beneficiary, all payments on the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have been first applied against that part of the Secured Obligations.

Section 9.15Noun, Pronoun and Verb Numbers.  When this Security Instrument is executed by more than one person, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other legal entity, it shall be construed as though “Grantor” were written “Grantors” and as though the pronouns and verbs in their number were changed to correspond, and in such case, (a) each of Grantors shall be bound jointly and severally with one another to keep, observe and perform the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities imposed by this Security Instrument upon the “Grantor”, (b) a release of one or more persons, corporations or other legal entities comprising “Grantor” shall not in any way be deemed a release of any other person, corporation or other legal entity comprising “Grantor” and (c) a separate action hereunder may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the persons, corporations or other legal entities comprising “Grantor” without limiting any liability of or impairing Beneficiary’s right to proceed against any other person, corporation or other legal entity comprising “Grantor”.

Section 9.16Automatic Reinstatement.  Grantor agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment previously applied by Beneficiary to the Secured Obligations is or must be returned by Beneficiary—or recovered from Beneficiary—for any reason (including the order of any bankruptcy court), this Security Instrument shall automatically be reinstated to the same effect as if the prior application had not been made, and, in addition, Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify Beneficiary against, and to save and hold Beneficiary harmless from any required return by Beneficiary—or recovery from Beneficiary—of any such payment because of its being deemed preferential under applicable bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency laws, or for any other reason.

Section 9.17                                  ��        Amendments in Writing.  This Security Instrument shall not be changed orally but shall be changed only by agreement in writing signed by Grantor and Beneficiary.  Any waiver or consent with respect to this Security Instrument shall be effective only in the specific

29

instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No course of dealing between the parties, no usage of trade and no parole or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement or modify any of the terms or provisions of this Security Instrument.

Section 9.18Entire Agreement.  This Security Instrument embodies the entire agreement and understanding between Grantor and Beneficiary with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior conflicting or inconsistent agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter.  Grantor acknowledges and agrees that there is no oral agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary which has not been incorporated in this Security Instrument.

Section 9.19Request for Notice.  The undersigned Grantor requests that a copy of any notice of default and any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at its address set forth above.

Section 9.20Restrictions on Transfer.  Grantor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall not effect, suffer or permit any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of Collateral no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Property, and other dispositions of Collateral permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Section 9.21Choice of Law.  THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM TIME TO TIME IN FORCE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, FORECLOSURE AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE PROPERTY, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE SECURED PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

Section 9.22Waiver of Post-Foreclosure Redemption Rights.  To the extent any restraint on the right of redemption is allowed by law, Grantor will not at any time after any sale of all or any portion of the Property made pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim, exercise or take the benefit or advantage of any right conferred by any law now or at any time hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold or any part of it, and Grantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby WAIVES all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws.

Section 9.23Savings Clause. In the event any transfer hereunder of any interest in real property to secure the performance of the Secured Obligations does not comply with the requirements of Title 45, Chapter 15 of Idaho Code, it is agreed that the security interest in the real property transferred hereunder shall constitute a mortgage pursuant to Idaho Code Section 45-904.

Section 9.24.Intercreditor Agreement. Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2012, among the Grantor, other Borrowers, the Guarantors party thereto, CC Holdings Agency Corp., as Term Loan Agent (as defined therein), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Revolving Agent (as defined therein), (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Security Instrument, the liens created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2011, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 (as further amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among (i) Coldwater Creek U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), as agent for the Borrowers from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Borrower” and, collectively with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto, (iii) the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, (iv) the Lenders from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and (v) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor by merger to Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swing Line Lender, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, reference is also made to that certain Guaranty, dated as of February 13, 2009 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Existing Guaranty”), executed by the Guarantors in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the credit facility provided for in the Credit Agreement and from the making of the Loans by the Lenders.

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans is conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of this Guaranty.  As consideration therefor, and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Guaranty.

1

Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 1.Guaranty.  Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance by each of the Loan Parties of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including all such Guaranteed Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of the Debtor Relief Laws.  Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.  If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable, each of the Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, together with any and all expenses that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including the enforcement of any collateral for such Obligations or any collateral for the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty).  If claim is ever made upon any Agent or any other Credit Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Obligations and any Agent or any other Credit Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Borrower or any Guarantor), then and in each such event, each of the Guarantors agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Loan Party, and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

SECTION 2.Guaranteed Obligations Not Affected.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of protest for nonpayment and all other notices of any kind.  The liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by any other Guarantor or by any other Person.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by or impaired by (a) the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty, or of any other Loan Document or any other agreement, with respect to any Loan Party or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, (d) the lack of legal existence of any

2

Loan Party or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law by or against any Loan Party, (e) any direction as to application of payment by any Loan Party or by any other Person, (f) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such other guaranty or undertaking, (g) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Loan Party, (h) any invalidity, irregularity, avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor or (i) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit party on account of the Obligations which the Administrative Agent or such other Credit Party repays to any Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (or any settlement or compromise of any claim made in such a proceeding relating to such payment), and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

SECTION 3.Security.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent and each of the other Credit Parties may (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine, and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, Borrowers, other Loan Parties or other obligors, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 4.Guaranty of Payment.  Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to any of the Collateral or other security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any other Credit Party in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or to any other Guarantor of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Any payment required to be made by any Guarantor hereunder may be required by any Agent or any other Credit Party on any number of occasions and shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the other Credit Parties, in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.  The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or any other Loan party or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or Loan Party or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor or Loan Party or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions.  Each of the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.  Any payment by any Loan Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Loan Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the Guarantors.

3

SECTION 5.Indemnification.

(a)Without limiting or duplicating any of their indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each of the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Credit Party, 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, settlement payments, costs and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Guarantor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) the execution or delivery of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other 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, or, in the case of the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof) and their Related Parties only, the administration of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Guarantor, or any of the Guarantors’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted directly and actually from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantors shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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 Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (a) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)The agreements in this Section 5 shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 6.No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than upon (i) termination of the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) termination of the Administrative Agent’s obligation under the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 7.Defenses of Loan Parties Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Agents and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of each such Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  Pursuant to, and to the extent permitted by, applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election and waives any benefit of and right to participate in any such foreclosure action, even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not assert any claim in competition with any Agent or any other Credit Party in respect of any payment made hereunder in connection with any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws.

SECTION 8.Agreement to Pay; Subordination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Agents or any other Credit Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any

5

Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agents or such other Credit Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to any Agent or any other Credit Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations.  In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may make payments to any Guarantor on account of any such indebtedness.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, none of the Guarantors will demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness until (i) termination of the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) termination of the Administrative Agent’s obligation to endeavor to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.  If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9.Limitation on Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any action or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor involving any state corporate law, the Debtor Relief Laws or any other state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party, any Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 10.Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agents or the other Credit Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.  The Guarantors have reviewed and approved copies of the Loan Documents and are fully informed of the remedies the Collateral Agent may pursue, with or without notice to the Guarantors.

6

SECTION 11.Termination.  This Guaranty (a) shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (except to the extent fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation under the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, and (b) shall continue to be effective or be immediately and automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party or any Guarantor in connection with Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise.

SECTION 12.Costs of Enforcement.  Without limiting or duplicating any of their obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to pay on demand all Credit Party Expenses in connection with (i) the administration, negotiation, documentation or amendment of this Guaranty, and (ii) any Agent’s or any other Credit Party’s efforts to collect and/or to enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and/or to enforce any of the rights, remedies, or powers of any Agent or any other Credit Party against or in respect of any Guarantor (whether or not suit is instituted by or against any Agent or any other Credit Party).

SECTION 13.Binding Effect; Assignments.  Whenever in this Guaranty any party hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Guarantors and its respective successors and assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agents and the other Credit Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be absolutely void ab initio), except as expressly permitted by this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement.  This Guaranty shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 14.Waivers; Amendment.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Agents hereunder and under applicable Law (herein, the “Agents’ Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Agents in exercising or enforcing any of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Agents of any Event of Default or default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Agents’ Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Agents and

7

any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Agents of any of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Agents’ Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Agents may determine. The Agents’ Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Agents and the Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 15.Copies and Facsimiles.  This instrument and all documents which have been or may be hereinafter furnished by any Guarantor to any of the Agents may be reproduced by such Agents by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business). Any facsimile or other electronic method of transmission which bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise so admissible in evidence as if the original of such facsimile or such other electronic method of transmission had been delivered to the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was received.

SECTION 16.Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 17.Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, provided that communications and notices to the Guarantors may be delivered to the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Guarantors.

SECTION 18.Survival of Agreement; Severability.

(a)All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agents and the other

8

Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of any Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuer, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any other Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended, and shall continue in full force and effect until (i) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (except to the extent fully Cash Collateralized or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation to endeavor to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.  The provisions of Section 5 and Section 11 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Aggregate Commitments or the termination of this Guaranty or any provision hereof.

(b)Any provision of this Guaranty held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 19.Counterparts.  This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile transmission or other electronic method of transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

SECTION 20.Rules of Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 through 1.05 and Section 1.07 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty.

SECTION 21.Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE

9

HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH GUARANTOR 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 GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENTS, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(b)EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (a) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH GUARANTOR 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.

(C)EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 17.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

SECTION 22.Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH GUARANTOR, EACH AGENT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH GUARANTOR, EACH AGENT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO (OR ACCEPT) THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 22.

SECTION 23.Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if any Lender shall have been served with a trustee process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, each Credit Party and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of

10

the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Credit Party or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to such Credit Party, irrespective of whether or not such Credit Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Guarantor may be unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Credit Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Credit Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section 23 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party or its respective Affiliates may have.  Each Credit Party agrees to notify the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 24.New Subsidiaries.  Pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Loan Party are required to enter into this Guaranty by executing and delivering in favor of the Agents a joinder to this Guaranty in substantially the form of Annex 1.  Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by any such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein.  The execution and delivery of any agreement or instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty shall not require the consent of any Guarantor hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be joint and several with each other Guarantor hereunder, notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder, as though such new Guarantor had originally been named a Guarantor hereunder on the date of this Guaranty.

SECTION 25.No Third Party Beneficiary.  This Guaranty is solely for the benefit of each Credit Party, and each of their successors and assigns and may not be relied on by any other Person.

SECTION 26.Cumulative Remedies.  No remedy under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, and those provided by Law.

SECTION 27.Payments; Application.  All payments to be made hereunder by any Guarantor shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset and shall be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

11

SECTION 29.Merger; Integration.  THIS GUARANTY, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 30.Headings.  Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Guaranty and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Guaranty.

SECTION 31.Construction.  Neither this Guaranty nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or any Guarantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Guaranty has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

SECTION 32.Incorporation by Reference.  All of the annexes attached to this Guaranty shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 33.Waivers.

(a)Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Agent or any other Credit Party to (i) proceed against any other Loan Party or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Loan Party or any other Person, or (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person, or any collateral, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in any Credit Party’s power whatsoever.  Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guarantor or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Loan Party or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment.  The Agents may, at their election or at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Agents in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or may exercise any other right or remedy any Agent or any other Credit Party may have against any Loan Party or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b)Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Estate located in California, Idaho or any other “one-action” rule jurisdiction, Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Estate by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Loan Party.  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar Laws of any other

12

applicable jurisdiction, each of the Guarantors hereby waives until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash:

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

(ii)all rights and defenses that the Guarantors may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Estate located in California, Idaho or any other “one-action” rule jurisdiction, meaning, among other things, that:  (A) the Agents and the other Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and (B) if any Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties, forecloses on any Real Estate collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Guarantor, (1) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantors even if, by foreclosing on the Real Estate collateral, the Agents or the other Credit Parties have destroyed or impaired any right the Guarantors may have to collect from any other Loan Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantors may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Estate (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 6-101, 6-108, 45-1503, 45-1505(4) or 45-1512 of the Idaho Code or any similar Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

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

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

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2011, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 (as further amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among (i) Coldwater Creek U.S. Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), as agent for the Borrowers from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Borrower” and, collectively with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto, (iii) the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, (iv) the Lenders from time to time party thereto (individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make certain financial accommodations available to the Borrowers from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guaranty, or if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lender Group to make certain financial accommodations to Borrower.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement and Section 24 of the Guaranty, certain Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, must execute and deliver certain Loan Documents, including the Guaranty, and the joinder to the Guaranty by the undersigned new Guarantor or Guarantors (collectively, the “New Guarantors”) may be accomplished by the execution of this Joinder in favor of the Agents, for the benefit of the Credit Parties; and

WHEREAS, each New Guarantor (a) is [an Affiliate] [a Subsidiary] of one or more of the Borrowers and, as such, will benefit by virtue of the financial accommodations extended to such Borrowers by the Lenders and (b) by becoming a Loan Party will benefit from certain rights granted to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

1

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each New Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, Indemnitor agrees that Agent, Administrative Agent, each Lender or each other Lender Indemnified Party heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter may do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Agent, Administrative Agent, such Lender or such other Lender Indemnified Party deems advisable, without in any way, manner or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing Indemnitor from its obligations hereunder.

7.(a)Indemnitor shall notify Agent promptly upon receipt of any material written inquiry, notice, claim, charge, cause of action or demand from any third party pertaining to the matters indemnified hereunder, including without limitation any notice of inspection for cause, abatement or noncompliance, stating the nature and basis of such inquiry or notification.

(c)If any action shall be brought against Agent, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Lender Indemnified Party, then after Agent notifies the Indemnitor thereof as provided in paragraph 7(b), Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and to assume the defense thereof at the expense of Indemnitor with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent, Administrative Agent and the other Lender Indemnified Parties, in their reasonable discretion, and to settle and compromise any such claim or action; provided, however, that Agent, Administrative Agent or any Lender Indemnified Party may elect to be represented by separate counsel at Agent, Administrative Agent or such other Lender Indemnified Party’s expense, as applicable, and if Agent, Administrative Agent or a Lender Indemnified Party so elects, such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be conditioned, withheld or delayed if the settlement or compromise does not impose any liability on Indemnitor or any other party indemnified hereunder and shall not otherwise be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(d)Indemnitor shall make any payment required to be made under this Indemnity promptly after receipt of demand therefor by Agent, Administrative Agent or any other Lender Indemnified Party,

and shall make such payment in cash in the amount thereof. In the event that such payment is not made forthwith, Agent, Administrative Agent or such other Lender Indemnified Party, at its sole election and in its sole discretion, may proceed to suit against Indemnitor.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, shall have the right (in its reasonable discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Pledgor.

SECTION 6

Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc.

6.1           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the Pledged Securities or any part thereof to the extent, and only to the extent, that such rights are exercised for any purpose consistent with, and not otherwise in violation of, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law; provided, however, that the Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law or the ability of the Credit Parties to exercise the same.

6.2           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral (provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Pledgor shall cause all such cash dividends or other cash distributions to be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such cash dividends or other cash distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.  All noncash dividends, and all dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than dividends and distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision,

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions. All dividends or other cash distributions received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to receive the dividends or other cash distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2 above.

6.4           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the

10

Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale.

11

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.

7.6           As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other

12

Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8

Application of Proceeds of Sale

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Pledged Collateral, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 9

Further Assurances

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

13

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Credit Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar

14

documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and

16

Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph 13.7(b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement .

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

17

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the Term Agent is in possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the Term Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any Term Loan Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such Term Priority Collateral is by, the Term Agent.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, shall have the right (in its reasonable discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Pledgor.

SECTION 6

Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc.

6.1           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the Pledged Securities or any part thereof to the extent, and only to the extent, that such rights are exercised for any purpose consistent with, and not otherwise in violation of, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law; provided, however, that the Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law or the ability of the Credit Parties to exercise the same.

9

6.2           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral (provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Pledgor shall cause all such cash dividends or other cash distributions to be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such cash dividends or other cash distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.  All noncash dividends, and all dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than dividends and distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock, membership interests or other Equity Interests of the Issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such Issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by the Pledgor, to the extent required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall not be commingled by the Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions. All dividends or other cash distributions received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to receive the dividends or other cash distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2 above.

6.4           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in

10

the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition”

11

within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale.

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.

7.6           As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c)

12

that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8

Application of Proceeds of Sale

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Pledged Collateral, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

13

SECTION 9

Further Assurances

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Credit Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

14

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

SECTION 12

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

SECTION 13

Miscellaneous

13.1         This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.2         Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

13.3         All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement .

15

13.4         All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement , any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement , any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or any other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

13.5         All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement , and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 11  hereof.

13.6         Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by Pledgor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default

16

under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Collateral Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.713.7(b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement .

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

17

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the Term Agent is in possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the Term Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any Term Loan Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such Term Priority Collateral is by, the Term Agent.

6.2           Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral (provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Pledgor shall cause all such cash dividends or other cash distributions to be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such cash dividends or other cash distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Law.  All noncash dividends, and all dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than dividends and distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock, membership interests or other Equity Interests of the Issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such Issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by the Pledgor, to the extent required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall not be commingled by the Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

6.3           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to dividends or other cash distributions that the Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other cash distributions.

the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not an obligation) from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights; and (b) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote or consensual rights or powers, Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Collateral in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.2  hereof.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.

SECTION 7

Remedies upon Default

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law or under the Loan Documents.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:

7.1           The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor.

7.2           The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, (i) in the case of a public sale, shall state the date, time and place for such sale, (ii) in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, shall state the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be made.  The Pledgor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Pledgor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies upon default and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition”

11

within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC.

7.3           Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale.

7.4           At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 7, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party from the Pledgor on account of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor.

7.5           For purposes hereof, a written agreement that is entered into on or after the expiration of the period specified in Section 7.2 to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.

7.6           As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

7.7           The Pledgor recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sales, (c)

12

that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor shall not be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.

7.8           To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  In dealing with or disposing of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Credit Party shall be required to give priority or preference to any item of Pledged Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Pledged Collateral with judicial process.

7.9           Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Pledgor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 10

Intent

This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Pledgor for the purpose of confirming the grant of the security interest or Lien of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral.  It is intended that the security interest or Lien granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties, under the Security Agreement.  All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Collateral Agent thereunder) shall apply to this Agreement and the Pledged Collateral, as applicable.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Pledged Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.

SECTION 11

Termination; Release of Pledged Collateral

11.1         Any Lien upon any Pledged Collateral will be released automatically if the Pledged Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Credit Agreement.  Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall (at Pledgor’s sole cost and expense) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Pledged Collateral described in this Section 11.1; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under applicable Law, expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Pledgor in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgor, including, without limitation, the Proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

14

11.2         Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the security interest and Liens granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Aggregate Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (iii) all L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (or fully Cash Collateralized in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Credit Agreement, or supported by another letter of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the Administrative Agent has no further obligation pursuant to the Credit Agreement to cause the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, at which time the Collateral Agent shall return all Pledged Collateral to the Pledgor, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s expense, all UCC termination statements, releases and similar documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the security interest granted herein shall be immediately and automatically reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor.  Any execution and delivery of termination statements, releases or other documents pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party.

AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL BE THE SAME AS SET FORTH IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

13.3         All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement .

15

13.4         All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and Liens granted hereby and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement , any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement , any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or any other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

13.5         All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein and in any other Loan Document 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 Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans or other extensions of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement , and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 11  hereof.

13.6         Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and any such prohibited assignment or transfer by Pledgor shall be absolutely void ab initio.  This Agreement is a Loan Document.

13.7         (a)           The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Collateral Agent hereunder (herein, the “Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Collateral Agent of any Default or Event of Default or of any default

16

The Collateral Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph 13.7(b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and Pledgor with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement .

13.8         Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9         The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under any other instrument or agreement creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

17

13.10       Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and each other Credit Party.

13.11       THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.12       Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Credit Party or Pledgor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13.13       All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

13.14       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, herein and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgor expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Credit Parties’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party of any rights such Person has with respect to Pledgor under any Loan Document and except as specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which, as among the other Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, shall remain in full force and effect.  If and to the extent the Term Agent is in possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral as the representative of and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties.  So long as the Term Agent is acting as bailee and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, any obligation of Pledgor in this Agreement that requires endorsement or delivery of any Term Loan Priority Collateral to, or the possession or control of any Term Loan Priority Collateral by, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be complied with and satisfied if such endorsement or delivery of such Term Loan Priority Collateral is made to, or such possession or control of such Term Priority Collateral is by, the Term Agent.
