then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case ofclause (i) above) shall promptly give written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders. Thereafter (A) in the case ofclause (i) above, Loans shall no longer accrue interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate pursuant toSection 2.05(a) and, in lieu thereof, shall accrue interest underSection 2.05(a) at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rateplus the Applicable Margin until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when it becomes aware that such circumstances no longer exist), (B) in the case ofclause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (C) in the case ofclause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take the actions specified by Applicable Law as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Applicable Law.

in any such case, which has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or its parent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction;provided,however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as in effect on the date hereof or the later date on which it becomes a Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender (on its own behalf), upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to thisSection 2.06(b), will, as promptly as practicable upon ascertaining knowledge thereof, give written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts. The failure or delay to give any such notice with respect to a particular event shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.06(b) for amounts accrued or incurred prior to the date that such notice with respect to such event is actually given, unless such notice is given more than 180 days (or such longer period based on any retroactive effect as described inSection 2.06(a)) after Lender has knowledge of any such event.

(c) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that either (i) the circumstances set forth insubparagraph (a) of thisSection 2.06 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth insubparagraph (a) of thisSection 2.06 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (in the case of either such clause (i) or (ii), an “Alternative Interest Rate Election Event”), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary inSection 12.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from Required Lenders stating that they object to such amendment. To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention;provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;provided that, to the extent such Alternative Interest Rate Election Event is as a result ofclause (ii) above in thissubparagraph (c), thenclauses (x) and(y) of this sentence shall apply during such period only if the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or currency is not available or published at such time on a current basis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such alternate rate of interest as determined in thissubparagraph (c) is determined to be less than one percent, such rate shall be deemed to be one percent for the purposes of this Agreement.

43

Section 2.07Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of a Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a payment pursuant toSections 2.03,4.01 or4.02, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant toArticle X or for any other reason, or (b) any prepayment of principal of a Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant toSections 4.01 or4.02, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request by such Lender (with a copy of such request provided to the Administrative Agent and which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.

ARTICLE III

FEES, PREMIUMS AND COMMITMENT TERMINATIONS

Section 3.01Fees.

(a)Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as applicable, all the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b)[Reserved].

Section 3.02Prepayment Premiums. Upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid (or deemed prepaid), the Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Premium, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to thisSection 3.02 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, and the Borrower and Guarantors agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Loan Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER AND GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower and Guarantors expressly agree that (a) the

44

Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (b) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (c) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium, (d) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in thisSection 3.02, (e) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (f) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any Prepayment Premium Trigger Event.

Section 3.03Termination of Commitments. The obligation of each Lender to make its respective Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant toSection 2.01(a) shall terminate on the Closing Date upon the disbursement of such Lender’s Term Loan in accordance with such Lender’s Commitments.

ARTICLE IV

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Term Loans in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions:

(ii) a notice delivered pursuant toSection 4.01(a)(i) shall be irrevocable, shall include or be accompanied by a certification of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower that the prepayment is being made pursuant to and in compliance with all provisions ofSection 4.01(a), and shall obligate the Borrower to prepay the amount specified in such notice on the date specified therein together with accrued interest thereon and the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, all of which shall become due and payable on the prepayment date set forth in such notice;provided that notwithstanding the foregoing any such voluntary prepayment occurring as a result of a Change of Control, a refinancing of the Obligations or another specified and material transaction may be conditional upon the closing of any such transaction;

(iii) each partial prepayment of any Term Loans shall be in a multiple of $50,000 and in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000;

45

(iv) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to thisSection 4.01 on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions ofSection 2.07; and

(i) Concurrently with the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted underSection 9.01), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans together with the applicable Prepayment Premium in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable Net Debt Proceeds, to be applied as set forth inSection 4.02(b).

Nothing in thisSection 4.02(a)(iii) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising, directly or indirectly, from any Casualty Event. It is understood and agreed the Prepayment Premium is not due and payable for payments under this clause(iii).

(iv) Within five (5) Business Days of the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Equity Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Equity Proceeds, to be applied as set forth inSection 4.02(b).

47

to the Administrative Agent within one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts, reinvest or commit to reinvest such Extraordinary Receipts in assets to be used in the business of the Borrower so long as (A) the aggregate amount of Extraordinary Receipts reinvested by the Borrower at any time pursuant to thisclause (v) shall not exceed $10,000,000 during any fiscal year, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Borrower certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (C) such Extraordinary Receipts are held in an account subject to an Account Control Agreement while awaiting reinvestment;providedfurther, that, if such Extraordinary Receipts are committed to be reinvested within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, such Extraordinary Receipts shall actually be reinvested within an additional one hundred twenty (120) day period.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, immediately upon any acceleration of any Obligations pursuant toSection 10.02, (whether before, during or after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any other Loan Party), the Borrower shall immediately repay all the Loans together with the applicable Prepayment Premium, unless only a portion of the Loans is so accelerated (in which case the portion so accelerated shall be so repaid together with the applicable Prepayment Premium). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment Premium referred to in thisSection 4.02(a)(vii) (i) is additional consideration for providing the Loans, (ii) constitutes reasonable liquidated damages to compensate the Lenders for (and is a proportionate quantification of) the actual loss of the anticipated stream of interest payments upon an early prepayment of the Loans (such damages being otherwise impossible to ascertain or even estimate for various reasons, including, without limitation, because such damages would depend on, among other things, (x) when the Loans might otherwise be repaid and (y) future changes in interest rates which are not readily ascertainable on the Closing Date), and (iii) is not a penalty to punish the Borrower for its early prepayment of the Loans or for the occurrence of any Event of Default.

(viii) Concurrently with any Change of Control, the Borrower shall repay all of the Loans together with the applicable Prepayment Premium and all other outstanding Obligations.

(b)Application of Payments. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied as set forth inSection 4.01(b) and, except as set forth inSection 4.02(c), each payment and prepayment of Term Loans required bySection 2.03(a) orSection 4.02(a), and any other amount that the Administrative Agent receives from any Person as a result of a provision in any Loan Document requiring that such amount be paid to the Administrative Agent, one hundred percent (100%) of such amount shall be applied pro rata among the applicable Lenders to the outstanding principal amount of Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity until the Term Loan is paid in full, and finally to any other outstanding Obligations until paid in full;provided, that the Borrower shall pay all amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant toSection 2.07 with respect

48

to each prepayment of Term Loans made on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the Term Loans so prepaid, through the date of such prepayment, and, to the extent applicable (and whether before, during or after acceleration of the Term Loans and/or the occurrence of any Event of Default and/or the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any other Loan Party), the Prepayment Premium.

(c)Application of Collateral Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary inSection 4.01 or thisSection 4.02, (x) all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any other Person pursuant to the exercise of rights or remedies against the Collateral, (y) all payments received by Administrative Agent or any Lender upon and after the acceleration of any of the Obligations and (z) all payments received by Administrative Agent or any Lender following written notice to the Borrower and Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders during the existence of an Event of Default to impose the waterfall set forth in thisSection 4.02(c), shall be applied as follows:

(i)first, to pay any and all costs, fees, and expenses of, and any indemnity payments then due to, the Agents under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;

(ii)second, ratably to pay any costs, fees, and expenses of, and any indemnity payments then due to, any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;

(iii)third, ratably to the Lenders to pay interest due in respect of the outstanding Loans until paid in full;

(iv)fourth, ratably to the Lenders to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on apro rata basis until the Loans are paid in full;

(v)fifth, ratably to the Lenders to pay any Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to this Loan Agreement, and any other applicable premiums in respect of the Loans;

(vi)sixth, to pay any other Secured Obligations, ratably to the Persons entitled thereto and any breakage, termination or other payments under Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, and any payments under Secured Cash Management Agreements constituting Secured Obligations; and

(vii)seventh, to the Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no amount received directly or indirectly from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or otherwise to the payment of any Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent

49

has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be, as may be reasonably necessary to determine the amount of the Secured Obligations owed thereunder. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms ofArticle X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto and be deemed to be (and agrees to be) subject to the provisions inSections 12.14,12.18 and13.04 as a party hereto.

Section 4.03Payment of Obligations; Method and Place of Payment.

(a) The obligations of each Loan Party hereunder and under each other Loan Document are not subject to counterclaim,set-off, rights of rescission, or any other defense of any kind whatsoever (other than defense of payment). Subject toSection 4.04, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under any Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower, without counterclaim,set-off, rights of rescission, or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Secured Parties entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Secured Parties entitled thereto.

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Loan Agreement that are made later than 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day may in the Administrative Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c) Pursuant toSection 4.03(a), the Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document by wire transfer to such U.S. account as the Administrative Agent may identify in a written notice to the Borrower from time to time.

Section 4.04Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under thisSection 4.04) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

50

(b)Payment of Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Without duplication of payments made pursuant toSection 4.04(a), the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under thisSection 4.04) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions ofSection 12.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under thisSection 4.04(d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to thisSection 4.04, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

51

(f)Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth inSections 4.04(f)(ii)(A),(ii)(B) and(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the relevant Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(x) executed copies of IRS FormW-8ECI;

52

(y) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) executed copies of IRS FormW-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, IRS FormW-8BEN-E; or

(z) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS FormW-8IMY, accompanied by IRS FormW-8ECI, IRS FormW-8BEN or, in the case of an entity, IRS FormW-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS FormW-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent 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 or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of thisclause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Loan Agreement.

53

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

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to thisSection 4.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of allout-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable netafter-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under thisSection 4.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of either or both of the Agents or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 4.05Right to Decline Payments. Borrower shall provide prior written notice of any prepayment underSection 4.02 to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to such proposed prepayment date. The Lenders in their sole discretion may decline, in whole or in part, any payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment underSection 4.02(a) without prejudice to each Lender’s rights hereunder to accept or decline any future mandatory prepayment on behalf of the Lenders. If a Lender chooses to decline, in whole or in part, payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment, (i) the Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing by 3:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment date of its election to do so (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option in respect of any payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment shall be deemed as of such date not to exercise such option), and (ii) the amount of such declined payment shall be offered ratably to thenon-declining Lenders, who shall provide written notice not later than by 3:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the

prepayment date of its acceptance of any declined payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment (it being understood that any Lender who does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option shall be deemed as of such date not to exercise such option), and (iii) if such other Lenders decline the additional repayment amount offered pursuant to clause (ii) above, such declined amounts may be retained by the Loan Parties.

Section 4.06Computations of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days;provided, that for any Loan bearing interest with reference to the Prime Rate, a year shall be comprised of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Payments due on a day that is not a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

Section 4.07Debt. The Borrower agrees that the Term Loans shall be funded on the Closing Date net of original issue discount in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, all calculation of interest and fees in respect of the Term Loans shall be calculated on the basis of their full stated principal amount. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that: (i) the Loans are intended as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will be treated as such by the parties; (ii) the Loans of each Lender constitute a single debt instrument for purposes of Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (pursuant to Treasury RegulationsSection 1.1275-2(c)); (iii) such debt instrument is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.1275-4; and (iv) they will adhere to this Loan Agreement for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not take any action or file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith. The inclusion of thisSection 4.07 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to United States taxation.

With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.09Successor Agents. Either Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders, the other Agent and the Borrower;provided that either Agent may resign as an Agent immediately upon written notice to the Lenders, the other Agent and the Borrower if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If either Agent shall resign as such Agent in its applicable capacity under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or burdened), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent in its applicable capacity, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall thereafter mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent in its applicable capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the other parties to this Loan Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as such Agent in its applicable capacity by the date upon which such retiring Agent’s notice of resignation is effective in accordance with the first sentence of thisSection 11.09, such retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective on the applicable date and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of thisArticle XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.10Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 11.11Restrictions on Actions by Secured Parties; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Collateral Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent otherwise consents in writing, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any Loan Document or any right or remedy against any Loan Party or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. The provisions of thisSection 11.11(a) are for the sole benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party or other Person.

110

(b) Subject toSection 12.09(b), if at any time or times any Lender receives (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’spro rata share of all such distributions by the Agents, then in each such case such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the applicable Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Loan Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other applicable Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the applicable Lenders in accordance with theirpro rata shares;provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

Section 11.12Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints each other Secured Party as its agent and bailee and assub-agent for the other Secured Parties (and each Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including with respect to assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable state can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Secured Party obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Secured Party shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent and take such other actions as agent orsub-agent in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized or directed by the Collateral Agent.

Section 11.13Credit Bid. Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Collateral Agent each hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or its designee, based upon the written instruction of Required Lenders, to bid and purchase for an amount approved by Required Lenders (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted (i) by any Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections9-610 or9-620 of the UCC, (ii) under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 365 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) by any Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise, including a foreclosure sale) in accordance with Applicable Law (any such sale described clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Collateral Sale”), and in connection with any Collateral Sale, the Administrative Agent or its designee may (with the consent of Required Lenders) acceptnon-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by such acquisition vehicle under the direction or control of any Agent and the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of Required Lenders) offset all or any portion of the Obligations against the purchase price for such Collateral.

111

Section 11.14One Lender Sufficient. This Loan Agreement shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, and all agency provisions shall be and shall remain effective, notwithstanding the fact that from time to time (including on the Closing Date) there may be only one Lender hereunder and the fact that such Lender may be the same Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth inSection 12.06(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (except to any natural person or any Person that is a Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;provided,however, that (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, to an Affiliate of a Lender, to an Approved Fund or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other assignee and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (and shall not be a party to or be required to sign any Assignment and Acceptance related thereto) unless it objects thereto by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or burdened;provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, to an Affiliate of a Lender, or to an Approved Fund; andprovidedfurther that the withholding, conditioning, delaying or burdening of consent by the Administrative Agent to an assignment to any Loan Party or to any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall be deemed to be reasonable.

(ii) Assignments by Lenders shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the (i) Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, conditioned or burdened;provided,however, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or Event of Default has

118

occurred and is continuing; andprovided further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds, and contemporaneous assignments by a single assignor to affiliated Lenders or related Approved Funds, shall in each case be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement as to the Loans or Commitments so assigned;provided, that this paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect its Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and all required “know your customer” documentation, anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and Anti-Terrorism Laws, including an IRS FormW-9 and all applicable tax forms;provided, that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds; and

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Loan Agreement that does not comply with thisSection 12.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Loan Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance withSection 12.06(c).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely as an agent of the Borrower for tax purposes and solely with respect the actions described in thisSection 12.06(b)(iv), shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall contain the name and address of each Lender

119

and the lending office through which each Lender acts under this Loan Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Loan Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time on any Business Day upon reasonable prior written notice;provided, that no Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. ThisSection 12.06(b)(iv) shall be construed such that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any written consent to such assignment required bySection 12.06(b)(i), receipt by the Administrative Agent of the processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and all requested “know your customer” documents, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Loan Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

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

(vii) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

120

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agents, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (except to any natural person or any Person that is a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement. 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 Loan Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described inSections 12.01(b)(i),12.01(b)(ii),12.01(b)(iii) or12.01(b)(iv). Subject toSection 12.06(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.06,2.07 and4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant toSection 12.06(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 12.09(b) as if it were a Lender;provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 12.09(a) as if it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSections 2.06,2.07 or4.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 4.04 so long as the documentation required bySection 4.04(f) is delivered by the participant to the participating Lender.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as anon-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in such Lender’s Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Loan Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register, and any notices or other documents required to be delivered by the Loan Parties shall be deemed to be delivered to a Participant upon actual delivery to the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant.

121

(d) Nothing herein is intended to prevent, impair, limit or otherwise restrict the ability of a Lender to collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its interests in the Loans and the other rights and benefits under the Loan Documents to an unaffiliated third party lender of such Lender (each such Person, a “Collateral Assignee”);provided that unless and until the Borrower receives notification from a Collateral Assignee of such assignment directing payments to be made to such Collateral Assignee, any payment made by the Borrower for the benefit of such Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations thereunder to the extent of such payment. Any such Collateral Assignee, upon foreclosure of its security interests in the Loans pursuant to the terms of such assignment and in accordance with Applicable Law, shall succeed to all the interests of or shall be deemed to be a Lender, with all the rights and benefits afforded thereby, and such transfer shall not be deemed to be a transfer for purposes of and otherwise subject to the provisions of thisSection 12.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall remain responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in any applicable pledge or assignment, nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to impose any obligations upon or constitute an assumption by a Collateral Assignee thereof.

Section 12.07Mitigation Obligations and Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation underSection 2.06, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant toSection 4.04 then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.06 or4.04, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) The Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to replace any Lender or any Participant that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant toSection 2.06,Section 4.04 orSection 12.07(a) if such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance withSection 12.07(a), (ii) is affected in the manner described inSection 2.06(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in suchSection 2.06(a)(iii) is required to be taken or (iii) is a Defaulting Lender;provided, that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) all Loans and other amounts (including any applicable Prepayment Premium

122

and fees, but excluding any disputed amounts) owing to such replaced Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be paid or purchased at par, (D) the replacement bank or institution (if not already a Lender), and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the withholding of consent by the Administrative Agent to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party becoming a replacement Lender shall be deemed to be reasonable and not unreasonable, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions ofSection 12.06 (except that such replaced Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto), (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, any Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (G) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation underSection 2.06 or payments required to be made pursuant toSection 4.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms ofSection 12.01 requires the consent of all Lenders or all of the Lenders affected thereby and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided that no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless suchNon-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at their own cost and expense, to replace suchNon-Consenting Lender by requiring suchNon-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,provided, that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to suchNon-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to suchNon-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, including any Prepayment Premium, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to suchNon-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Agents, suchNon-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply withSection 12.06 (except that suchNon-Consenting Lender shall not be obligated to pay any processing and recordation fee required pursuant thereto).

Section 12.08[Reserved].

Section 12.09Adjustments;Set-Off.

(a) If any Lender at any time receives any payment of all or part of its Loans, interest thereon or Prepayment Premium in respect thereof, or receives any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, byset-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to inSection 10.01(k), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans, interest thereon or Prepayment Premium in respect thereof, such recipient Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such recipient

123

Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders;provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such recipient Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The foregoing provisions of thisSection 12.09 shall not apply to payments made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), toset-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any Excluded Deposit Accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agents after any suchset-off and application made by such Lender;provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of suchset-off and application.

Section 12.10Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.

Section 12.11Counterparts. Any number of counterparts of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including facsimiles and other electronic copies (including .pdf), may be executed by the parties hereto. Each such counterpart shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original instrument, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 12.12Severability. All provisions of this Loan Agreement are severable, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any of the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement. Should any part of this Loan Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion or portions shall be removed (and no more) only in that jurisdiction, and the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible (removing the minimum amount possible) in that jurisdiction. In lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to add as a part of this Loan Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 12.13Integration. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto, both written and oral. This Loan Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,

124

contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten or oral agreements between the parties. By executing and delivering this Loan Agreement, each Loan Party hereby fully and irrevocably releases and agrees not to assert in any manner any and all claims which such Loan Party may have at law or in equity in relation to all prior written and oral discussions and understandings relating to this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the subject matter hereof and thereof, and the Transactions. When this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to a party’s “sole discretion”, such phrase means that party’s sole and absolute discretion as to process and result, which shall be final for all purposes hereunder, to be exercised (to the fullest extent the law permits) for any reason, subject to no standard of reasonableness or review and part of no claim before any court, arbitrator or other tribunal or forum or otherwise.

Section 12.14GOVERNING LAW. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED THEREIN), AND THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE HEREOF AND THEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ANY CLAIM BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS REQUIRING APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 12.15Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, all rights of rescission, setoff, counterclaims, and other defenses in connection with the repayment of the Obligations.

Section 12.18Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold allnon-public information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Loan Agreement (“Confidential Information”) confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and, in the case of a Lender that is a bank, in accordance with safe and sound banking practices;provided,however, that in any event any Agent or Lender may disclose Confidential Information:

Section 12.20Releases of Guaranties and Liens.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required bySection 12.01) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance withSection 12.01 or (ii) under the circumstances described inSection 12.20(b).

Section 12.21USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

128

Section 12.23Reliance on Certificates.

Section 12.24No Waiver. A Secured Party’s failure to insist at any time upon strict compliance with this Loan Agreement or with any of the terms of this Loan Agreement or any continued course of such conduct on its part will not constitute or be considered a waiver by such Secured Party of any of its rights or privileges. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any party in the performance by that party of its obligations with respect to this Loan Agreement is not a waiver or consent of or to any other breach or default in the performance by that party of the same or any other obligations of that party.

Section 12.25The Borrower as the Loan Parties’ Representative. Each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower as the borrowing agent andattorney-in-fact for all Loan Parties, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent (i) in its sole discretion shall have consented in writing to the revocation of such appointment and (ii) received prior written notice signed by the Loan Parties that such appointment has been revoked and that another Loan Party has been appointed. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Borrower (a) to provide the Agents and the Lenders with all notices with respect to all Loans and other extensions of credit obtained for the benefit of the Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) amend, supplement or otherwise modify any term or condition of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance withSection 12.01(b) without any requirement that such Loan Party also sign any documents or instruments to effectuate any such amendment, supplement or waiver, and (c) to take such action as the Borrower deems appropriate on such Loan Party’s behalf to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, is done solely as an accommodation to the Loan Parties in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Loan Parties in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that no Agent or Lender shall incur liability to any Loan Party as a result thereof. Each Loan Party expects to derive substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral in a combined fashion because the successful operation of each Loan Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Agents and Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender against, and hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from, any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury made against any Agent or Lender by any Loan Party or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (x) the handling of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral as provided herein, or (y) an Agent or a Lender relying on any instructions of the Borrower, except that the Loan Parties will have no liability to any Agent or Lender pursuant to thisSection 12.25 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or such Lender, as applicable.

129

Section 12.26Funding Losses.

The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any documented loss or expense (but excluding lost profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a direct consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan as and when due hereunder (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Borrowing Notice;

(c) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance withSection 4.01(a)(i); or

(d) the prepayment (including pursuant toSection 4.02) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under thisSection 12.26 and underSection 2.06(a)(ii): each LIBOR Rate Loan that is made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR Rate used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

Section 12.27Acknowledgement and Consent toBail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of anyBail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

130

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(a) Each Guarantor’s Guaranty hereunder constitutes a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, neither any Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor, to: (i) pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (ii) make any claim in a liquidation, bankruptcy or other Insolvency Proceeding of or in respect of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; (iii) make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (iv) enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party which may secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under Applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and any applicable provisions of comparable Applicable Laws) (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established inSection 2.2 hereof and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, thisSection 2.1(b) is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under thisSection 2.1(b) or otherwise as against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

(d) This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date occurs, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Loan Agreement no Guaranteed Obligations may be outstanding.

7

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or anyset-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and each Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date occurs.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Secured Obligation in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement shall include any Excluded Swap Obligations.

2.2. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of (i) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (ii) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions ofSections 2.1 and2.3 hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to any Secured Party, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. ThisSection 2.2 is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, and the Guarantors, and may be enforced by any one or more of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.3. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or anyset-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall (a) be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, (b) seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor under this Guaranty, or (c) assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, any claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that such Guarantor has against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, in all cases until the Termination Date occurs. If any amount is paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Collateral Agent may determine in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) of the Loan Agreement.

2.4. Actions with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations. (i) Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described inSection 2.5 hereof and may otherwise: (i) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement or any of the applicable Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement or such other Loan Documents; (iii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (vi) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as the Secured Parties shall elect.

2.5. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. (i) Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations, notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guaranty, and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

9

(a) Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, dishonor, and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations, notice of any kind to which such Guarantor may be entitled, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from any of its Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire to revoke, rescind, terminate or limit (except as expressly provided herein) this Guaranty or any of its obligations hereunder which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

(c) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (ii) any defense,set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person against any Secured Party (other than the defense of payment in full in cash), or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower with respect to any Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(d) The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof), and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

10

(i) (x) any change in the amount, interest rate, due date or other term of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, (y) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (z) any amendment, release, consent to the departure from, or other indulgence with respect to, or any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(iv) any settlement or compromise of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(v) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such Insolvency Proceeding;

(vi) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(vii) any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any guaranty of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(viii) any pledge, exchange, release ornon-perfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any Collateral or other collateral securing in any way all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ix) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(x) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing power of the Borrower or any Guarantor or in the exercise thereof;

11

(xi) any exercise,non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(xii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations)), including the failure by either Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to provide copies of any notice delivered to the Borrower or any Guarantor in accordance with the terms of any of the Loan Documents.

2.6. Acknowledgment of Waivers and Losses of Defenses.

(a) Each Guarantor acknowledges that certain provisions of this Guaranty operate as waivers of rights that each Guarantor would otherwise have under Applicable Law. Other provisions permit the Secured Parties to: (i) take actions that the Secured Parties would otherwise not have a right to take; (ii) fail to take actions that the Secured Parties would otherwise have an obligation to take; or (iii) take actions that may prejudice the Guarantors’ rights and obligations under this Guaranty and against the Borrower. In the absence of these provisions, each Guarantor might have defenses against its obligations under this Guaranty. These defenses might permit each Guarantor to avoid some or all of its obligations under this Guaranty.

(b) Each Guarantor intends by the waivers and other provisions of this Guaranty, including the acknowledgment set forth in this Section 2.6, to be liable to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law for all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Each Guarantor intends to have this liability even if the terms of the Loan Documents change or if such Guarantor does not have any rights against the Borrower.

(c) Each Guarantor acknowledges that: (i) it understands the seriousness of the provisions of this Guaranty; (ii) it and has had a full opportunity to consult with counsel of its choice; and (iii) it has consulted with counsel of its choice or has decided not to avail itself of that opportunity.

2.7. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be reduced, restored or returned by any Secured Party (whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise) upon the commencement of, or otherwise in relation to, any Insolvency Proceeding of or in respect of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer, official or designee for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of the property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or otherwise reduced, restored or returned by any Secured Party, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of the payment so rescinded, reduced, restored or

12

returned and shall be reduced only by the amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. If claim is ever made on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on such Guarantor notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party.

2.8. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent in Dollars, without counterclaim,set-off, rights of rescission or deduction, pursuant to Section 4.03(c) of the Loan Agreement.

(a) It is in the best interests of each Guarantor to execute this Agreement and provide the Guaranty inasmuch as such Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans and other financial accommodations made to the Borrower by the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents.

15

Upon completion of the filings and other actions specified onSchedule 2 hereto (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to onSchedule 2 hereto, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed and duly executed form), the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement will constitute valid and perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of each Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from any Grantor and are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral, except for, solely with respect to Collateral that does not constitute Pledged Stock, Permitted Liens which, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, are permitted to have priority over Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon as collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(a) All the shares of the Pledged Stock (including shares of Capital Stock in respect of which such Grantor owns a Security Entitlement) issued by any Subsidiary of any Grantor have been duly authorized and duly and validly issued and are fully paid andnon-assessable. None of the Pledged Stock that is Capital Stock of or issued by a partnership or limited liability company is subject to any capital call or other additional capital requirements.

16

(b) To the knowledge of the Grantors, each of the Pledged Notes issued to or held by any Grantor constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of, and prior to, all other Liens on such Collateral except for Permitted Liens (solely in the case of Pledged Stock, for Permitted Liens of the type set forth in Section 9.02(i) of the Loan Agreement) which, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, are expressly permitted to have priority over Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon to secure the Secured Obligations.

(d) Such Grantor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Loan Documents), including any stockholders agreement, limited partnership agreement or limited liability company operating agreement, which materially restricts the right of the Collateral Agent to foreclose upon any Pledged Stock.

(e) Except as has been obtained or are adequately provided pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, there is no agreement of or among any owners of such Grantor, nor any provision in the Organization Documents of such Grantor, requiring any vote or consent of any holders of Capital Stock of such Grantor or any other Person to authorize or permit the creation of a Lien and security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Pledged Stock or other Capital Stock of such Grantor.

(f) None of the Pledged Stock (i) issued by an Issuer that is not a corporation either (x) is, or is of a type, dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or a securities market or (y) is a medium for investment and by its terms provides that it is a “security” subject to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, unless certificates evidencing such Pledged Stock have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, (ii) is an Investment Company Security or (iii) is held in a Securities Account not subject to an Account Control Agreement.

(g) All of the Pledged Stock either (i) is issued by a corporation, is represented by a security certificate, and constitutes a “security” subject to Article 8 of the UCC, or (ii) is issued by an Issuer that is not a corporation and either (x) is (and is identified onSchedule 1 hereto as being) “uncertificated” or (y) such Issuer’s Organization Documents do not provide that such Pledged Stock is a “security” for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction. All of the Pledged Stock other than the Pledged Stock referred to insub-clause (i) of thisSection 4.6(g) constitutes General Intangibles and does not constitute “securities” subject to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction.

17

In the event that such Grantor knows that any Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright that is material to the Grantor’s then-current business has been infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, to the extent, in its reasonable judgment, such Grantor determines it appropriate under the circumstances, sue for infringement, misappropriation or other violation, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or other violation.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 5.6, nothing herein contained shall prohibit any Grantor from causing or permitting expiration, abandonment or invalidation of any Intellectual Property or failing to renew, abandoning or permitting to expire any applications or registrations for any Intellectual Property if, in such Grantor’s reasonable good faith judgment, such Intellectual Property, applications or registrations (as applicable) are no longer useful in the conduct of such Grantor’s business or are otherwise not economically practicable to maintain.

24

5.8. Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim for an amount in excess of $500,000 for any one such claim or in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such claims, such Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after obtaining such Commercial Tort Claim) (or such later time as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent) notify the Collateral Agent in writing, and upon the request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such request) (or such later time as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent) amendSchedule 4 hereto, authorizing the Collateral Agent to do such acts or things deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent to give the Collateral Agent a first priority perfected security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim (subject only to Permitted Liens which, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, are expressly permitted to have priority over the Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon) and such Grantor and the Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that the notification of the Commercial Tort Claim and amendment ofSchedule 4 hereto shall be sufficient to grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim. Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor agrees that the notice described in the first sentence of thisSection 5.8 shall constitute the grant to the Collateral Agent by such Grantor of a first priority security interest in the Commercial Tort Claim described therein (subject only to Permitted Liens which, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, are expressly permitted to have priority over Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon).

5.9. Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee.

5.10. Electronic Chattel Paper. If any Grantor holds or acquires an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper, any electronic document or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction having a value of more than $500,000 in any one instance or more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such assets (“Material Electronic Chattel Paper”), such Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after obtaining any such asset) notify the Collateral Agent thereof in writing and, at the request and option of the Collateral Agent, shall promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control, underSection 9-105 of the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code of any other relevant jurisdiction, of such Material Electronic Chattel Paper, control, underSection 7-106 of the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code of any other relevant jurisdiction, of such electronic document or control, under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in

25

Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for such Grantor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper, electronic document or transferable record permitted under UCCSection 9-105, UCCSection 7-106, or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper, electronic document or transferable record.

5.11. Further Assurances; Pledge of Instruments.

At the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers granted herein, which shall in any case include, but shall not be limited to: (a) using commercially reasonable efforts if requested by the Collateral Agent to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the grant of a security interest to the Collateral Agent in any lease, license, contract or agreement held by such Grantor or in which such Grantor has any right or interest (or with respect to which such Grantor has any right or interest in the assets subject to such lease, license, contract or agreement) not heretofore assigned; (b) authorizing the filing of and delivering and causing to be filed any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the security interests granted hereby; (c) filing or reasonably cooperating with the Collateral Agent in filing any forms or other documents required to be recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (in each case including short-form intellectual property security agreements in the form attached hereto asAnnex II for all U.S. registered or applied for Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks of such Grantor) or if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in accordance withSection 5.2(b) hereof, any actions, filings, recordings or registrations in any such foreign jurisdiction or under any such international treaty, required to perfect the Collateral Agent’s interest in such Grantor’s Collateral; (d) at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, transferring such Grantor’s Collateral to the Collateral Agent’s possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by possession); and (e) upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, executing and delivering or causing to be delivered written notice to insurers of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in, or claim in or under, any policy of insurance (including unearned premiums). Such Grantor also hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing or continuation statement.

5.12. No Perfection.

Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 5 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may reasonably agree that the cost to perfect any security interest in any Collateral granted herein or in any other Loan Document is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Secured Parties to be afforded thereby. If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower so agree, no further actions to obtain perfection, on the part of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be required. However, if the Administrative Agent and Borrower reasonably determine that such cost becomes reasonable in relation to such benefit, the Administrative Agent may require the Grantors to take further steps to obtain perfection, in accordance with the provisions herein.

26

(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and each contract that constitutes Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or any contract that constitutes Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or any contract that constitutes Collateral, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, in its name or in the name of any Grantor, or otherwise: (i) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for, or make any compromise or settlement deemed necessary with respect to any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; or (ii) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the term of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby incurring responsibility to, or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of, any Grantor, other than to discharge a Grantor in so doing with respect to liabilities of such Grantor to the extent that the liabilities are paid or repaid. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Collateral or other money, checks, notes, bills, drafts, or commercial paper received by any Grantor shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and shall be promptly (in any event within two (2) Business Days) turned over to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

27

value thereof, and the Collateral Agent is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Liens which in the judgment of the Collateral Agent appear to be equal to, prior to or superior to its Liens and security interests in the Collateral and any Liens not created by this Agreement.

6.3. Pledged Stock.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, and in all cases without any requirement that any notice be delivered to any Person, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to receive any and all dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 4.02(c) of the Loan Agreement, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to register any or all of the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, (iii) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting, corporate, consensual and other rights and privileges pertaining to the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property to which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled shall automatically cease and become vested in the Collateral Agent, and (iv) the Collateral Agent or its nominee shall have (except to the extent, if any, specifically waived in each instance by the Collateral Agent in writing) the sole and exclusive right to exercise or refrain from exercising, but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to exercise, (x) all voting, corporate, consensual and other rights and privileges pertaining to the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property, whether at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise, and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Stock or other Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Stock or other Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock or other Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by the Collateral Agent, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawfulattorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, and grants to the Collateral Agent this IRREVOCABLE PROXY, to vote all or any part of the Pledged Stock and other Investment Property from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each case in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable in its sole discretion for or against any or all matters submitted, or which may be submitted, to a vote of shareholders (including holders of any Capital Stock of any Issuer), partners or members, as the case may be, and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which any such shareholders (including holders of any Capital Stock of any Issuer), partners or members would be entitled

28

(including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of holders of Capital Stock of any Issuer, calling special meetings of the holders of the Capital Stock of any Issuer and voting at such meetings). Thepower-of-attorney and irrevocable proxy granted hereby are effective automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without the necessity that any action (including, without limitation, that any transfer of any of the Pledged Stock or other Investment Property be recorded on the books and records of the relevant Issuer) be taken by any Person (including the relevant Issuer of any Pledged Stock or other Investment Property or any officer or agent thereof), are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up of any relevant Grantor, and shall terminate only on the Termination Date. Each Grantor hereby agrees that on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration (by operation of applicable law) of thepower-of-attorney and irrevocable proxy granted pursuant hereto, each Grantor shall automatically be deemed to grant the Collateral Agent a new irrevocable proxy, on the same terms as those previously granted pursuant hereto.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Stock or any other Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to comply with any instruction received by such Issuer from the Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and shall have no duty or right to inquire as to the Collateral Agent’s authority to give such instruction, including the payment of any dividends or other payments with respect to any Pledged Stock or other Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent. Each party hereto that is an Issuer acknowledges the rights, remedies and privileges of the Collateral Agent set forth inSection 6.3(a) above and agrees to abide and comply with any action taken by the Collateral Agent thereunder or pursuant thereto.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in furtherance of, and without in any way limiting, any of the foregoing, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following a request from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent any and all such further proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to facilitate the exercise of, or otherwise in connection with, any of the rights or remedies granted to the Collateral Agent in or pursuant toSection 6.3(a) hereof.

6.4. Proceeds To Be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified inSection 6.1 hereof with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall so notify the relevant Grantor, all Collections thereon shall be held by such Grantor in trust for benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if so requested by the Collateral Agent).

6.5. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may, at any such time, apply all or any part of the Proceeds of Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 4.02(c) of the Loan Agreement.

29

6.6. UCC and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem advisable, for cash or on credit, or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request during the existence of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral, or any part thereof, and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to thisSection 6.6, after deducting all reasonableout-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations in accordance withSection 6.5 hereof, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9 615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 Collateral Agent. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Secured Party as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

30

6.7. Sales of Pledged Stock. (i) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and the Collateral Agent may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that selling Collateral in a private sale as opposed to a public sale shall not be deemed to make such sale other than in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to promptly do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary or advisable to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to thisSection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all Applicable Laws.

6.8. IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) in respect of the Intellectual Property of the Grantors, solely following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable (during the continuance of an Event of Default),non-exclusive, worldwide license (to the extent such Grantor has such rights) to use all Intellectual Property of such Grantor in connection therewith (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject (i) to Permitted Liens and to the terms of licenses granted to any Grantor, and (ii) in the case of Trademarks, to the Collateral Agent maintaining, or causing to be maintained, the quality of the respective goods and services associated with the use of such Trademarks at substantially the same level maintained by the Grantor immediately prior to the relevant Event of Default, including in such license (to the extent such Grantor has such rights) the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

6.9. Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

31

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay on demand in cash costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with all actions undertaken pursuant to thisSection 7.1, together with interest thereon accrued at a rate per annum equal to the highest interest rate applicable to Loans under the Loan Agreement (including any default rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.05(c) of the Loan Agreement), from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all actions taken by the Collateral Agent and its officers and agents pursuant to thisSection 7.1. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Termination Date.

7.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, underSection 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with the Collateral in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall (i) be liable for failure to

33

demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral, or for any delay in doing so, or (ii) be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person, or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Each of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and none of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except in the case of such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined in anon-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”, “all assets of the Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable state, in any such financing statements.

7.4. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise ornon-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Secured Parties, be governed by the Loan Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

34

8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant toSection 8.1 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns;provided, that except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

8.5.Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off, appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Agent or such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Agent or such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Agent or such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Agent or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party, or the Collateral Agent on such Secured Party’s behalf, shall notify such Grantor promptly of any suchset-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof;provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of suchset-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under thisSection 8.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights ofset-off) that such Secured Party may have.

8.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts shall be, and shall be deemed to be, one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be transmitted and signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all parties.

35

8.7. Severability. All provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Should any part of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion or portions shall be removed (and no more) only in that jurisdiction, and the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible (removing the minimum amount possible) in that jurisdiction. In lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to add as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

8.8. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.9. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto, both written and oral. This Agreement may not be contradicted or supplemented by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten or oral agreements between the parties. When this Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to a party’s “sole discretion”, such phrase means that party’s sole and absolute discretion as to process and result, which shall be final for all purposes hereunder, to be exercised (to the fullest extent the law permits) as arbitrarily and capriciously as that party may wish, for any reason, subject to no standard of reasonableness or review and part of no claim before any court, arbitrator or other tribunal or forum or otherwise.

8.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ANY CLAIM BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS REQUIRING APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

8.11. WAIVER. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RIGHTS OF RESCISSION, SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIMS, AND OTHER DEFENSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPAYMENT OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS (OTHER THAN THE DEFENSE OF PAYMENT IN FULL IN CASH).
