In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.05.Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.05. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

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

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as a Termination Event is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.06.Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term B Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Effective Date, (ii) the portion of the Term A Commitments that is used to make a new Term A Borrowing shall terminate upon the making of such Term A Borrowing, and (iii) all other Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date terminate the Term A Facility upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Term A Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees in respect of the Term A Facility, including applicable Prepayment Fee (if any), (iii) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations in respect of the Term A Facility to the extent then due and owing, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (iv) the termination of any unused Term A Commitments.

(c) The Borrower may from time to time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date reduce the unused Term A Commitments, upon the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees associated with the unused Term A Commitments being so reduced, including the applicable Prepayment Fee (if any).

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate the Term A Facility or reduce the Term A Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least 15 Business Days, in the case of a termination, and at least five Business Days, in the case of a reduction, prior to

the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;provided that a notice of termination of any Facility delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of other refinancings, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the Facilities or reduction of the Term A Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Term A Commitments shall be made ratably among the Term A Lenders in accordance with their respective Term A Commitments.

Section 2.07.Repayment, Amortization and Cash Collateralization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term A Loan on the Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay Term B Loans on the first Business Day of each of January, April, July and October in an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the Outstanding Term B Loan Amount on the Effective Date. To the extent not previously paid, all unpaid Term B Loans shall be paid in full in cash by the Borrower on the Termination Date.

(b) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.15 as a result of the continuance of a Trigger Event but not as a result of a Termination Event, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply funds credited to the Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) to any amounts then due and owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Transaction Documents before permitting access to the Borrower of any such funds. The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall permit such access as requested by the Borrower from time to time after applying any amounts in the Collection Accounts to amounts then due and owing. At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.15 as a result of a Termination Event, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection Account on such Business Day in accordance with Section 2.15(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Loans that are cash collateralized shall continue to accrue interest.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall beprima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, promptly following request, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08.Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loans in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section (without premium or penalty (other than the Term A Prepayment Fee and Term B Prepayment Fee)); provided that (i) in the case of the Term A Facility, (A) the Term A Loans may not be prepaid and the unused Term A Commitments may not be terminated on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date and (B) the Term A Loans may be prepaid and the unused Term A Commitments terminated after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date only upon the payment of the Term A Prepayment Fee, and (ii) in the case of the Term B Facility, no Term B Loans may be prepaid (other than in connection with a Replacement Term Facility) so long as any Term A Commitments are outstanding or any Term A Loans are outstanding; provided, further, that (1) the Term B Loans may not in any event be prepaid on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date and (2) any prepayment of Term B Loans (including in connection with a Replacement Term Facility) after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date may be made only upon the payment of the Term B Prepayment Fee.

(b) In the event and on such occasion when an Availability Shortfall exists, the Borrower shall within one Business Day of written notice,first cash collateralize the Outstanding Term Loan A Amount andsecond cash collateralize the Outstanding Term Loan B Amount (or, if applicable, the Outstanding Other Term Loan Amount) to the extent of the Availability Shortfall;provided that such cash collateral shall be released immediately in reverse order if and to the extent such cash collateral is no longer needed to address such Availability Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, Loans that are cash collateralized shall continue to accrue interest.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than noon, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than noon, one Business Day before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of any Facility as contemplated by Section 2.06 or otherwise is conditioned upon the occurrence of a refinancing, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked prior to the contemplated effective date of the prepayment in the event such refinancing or condition does not occur. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

Section 2.09.Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term A Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the unused Term A Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Term A Lenders’ Term A Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Term A Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) On the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee to the extent of Available Funds (as defined in the Sale Agreement) therefor pursuant to Section 2.15.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.10.Interest. (a) The Loans composing each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans composing each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan;provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on written demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.11.Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.12.Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Excluded Taxes) with respect to any Commitment, Loan or other obligation; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.13.Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Termination Event), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.06 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of

such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14.Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payment, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after Borrower makes all required withholdings or deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such withholdings or deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;provided, however, that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section 2.14, any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are thereafter determined to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed, then the relevant recipient of such payment shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(f). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(d).

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

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement 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, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by 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 the Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A) through (E) and Section 2.14(f)(iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s 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. Upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender,

that Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed original copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. backup withholding;

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

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for which payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; (b) a “10% shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a Foreign Lender that has sold participations), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such partner of the Foreign Lender or beneficial owner if the beneficial owners or partners were Lenders;

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as is necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If any payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the 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), the Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment.

(g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the

Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.15.Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-Offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Transaction Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory cash collateralization of Loans (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.08) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when full cash dominion is in effect as a result of the occurrence of a Trigger Event (but not as a result of a Termination Event) (which shall be applied in accordance with the first sentence of Section 2.07(b)) or (ii) after a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent elects or the Required Lenders direct the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies pursuant to Article 7, shall be applied ratablyfirst, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower pursuant to the Transaction Documents,second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Term A Lenders from the Borrower pursuant to the Transaction Documents,third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Term A Loans,fourth, to prepay principal on the Term A Loans,fifth, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Term B Lenders or Other Term Lenders, as applicable, from the Borrower pursuant to the Transaction Documents,sixth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Term B Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable,seventh, to prepay principal on the Term B Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable,eighth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower,ninth, to pay the Servicing Fee andtenth the balance, if

any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Termination Event is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (A) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (B) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.13. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the terms herein.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Transaction Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

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

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

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

Section 2.16.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, 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 promptly following written demand.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole

expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.17.Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Term A Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Required Term B Lenders, the Required Term A Lenders, the Supermajority Term A Lenders or the Supermajority Term B Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02),provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly adversely affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other directly adversely affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(c) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Section 2.18.Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative

Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.19.Amend and Extend Transactions.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend (an “Extension”) the Stated Maturity Date of such Lender’s Term Loans of any Class (which term, for purposes of this provision, shall include Other Term Loans and in the case of the Term A Loans, shall include the Term A Commitments) to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice (each tranche of Term Loans of such Class so extended as well as the original Term Loans of such Class not so extended, being deemed a separate tranche; any Extended Term Loans of any Class shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans of such Class from the tranche of Term Loans of such Class from which they were converted; any tranche of Term Loans (or Commitments) of such Class the maturity of which shall have been extended pursuant to this Section 2.19, “Extended Term Loans” of such Class); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have offered to all Lenders under each Facility the opportunity to participate in such extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each such Lender (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”), (ii) no Incipient Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing prior to or after giving effect to any such extension, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity date (subject to the following clauses (iv) and (v)), amortization, mandatory prepayments and scheduled amortization (which, subject to the following clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the applicable Extension Offer), Extended Term Loans shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans that was the subject of the Extension Notice, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date in respect of the applicable Facility at the time of extension, and the amortization schedule applicable to the Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.07 for periods prior to the Stated Maturity Date may not be increased, (v) the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.08 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000,provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of the applicable Class of any or all applicable tranches accept the applicable Extension Offer.

(c) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

(d) This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.20.Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Effective Date, so long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(a), the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Replacement Term Facility in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments in respect of all (but not less than all) of the Term B Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Replacement Term Facility (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder (but on the same last-out basis as the Term B Loans), (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof (but on the same last-out basis as the Term B Loans), (iii) with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a weighted average life to maturity that is not shorter than, the Term B Loans being refinanced, (iv) all fees and expenses earned, due and owing in respect of the Term B Facility and the Replacement Term Facility shall have been paid, (v) to the extent the terms and conditions are not substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Facility than the Refinanced Debt (provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such Replacement Term Facility may provide for any additional or different financial or other convents or other provision that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during the periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Term Facility is incurred or obtained), such other terms and documentation in respect of the Replacement Term Facility shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Replacement Term Facility incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term

Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.

Other than (i) the filing of the financing statements required hereunder or (ii) authorizations, approvals, actions, notices made or obtained on or prior to the date hereof, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents.

(e)Validity. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(f)Financial Statements.

With respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being recognized by the Lenders that projections are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

Section 6.01.Name Change, Offices, Records and Books of Accounts. The Borrower will not change its name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (a) given the Administrative Agent at least 30 days prior notice thereof (or such shorter notice as agreed by the Administrative Agent) and (b) delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

Section 6.02.Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Borrower will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank from those listed in Schedule 3, or make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Borrower or payments to be made to any lock-box, Collection Account or Collection Bank, unless either (x) directed to do so by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) Business Days before the proposed effective date therefor:

(a) written notice of such addition, termination or change, and

(b) with respect to the addition of a lock-box, Collection Account or Collection Bank, an executed account agreement and an executed Collection Account Agreement from such Collection Bank relating thereto;

provided,however, that the Borrower may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if (A) such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing lock-box or Collection Account that is subject to a Collection Account Agreement then in effect and (B) such new instructions are not contrary to the express written instructions of the Administrative Agent.

Section 6.03.Modifications to Invoices and Credit and Collection Policy. The Borrower will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the collectability of any material portion of the Receivables or materially decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables.

The Borrower shall not engage in any business or activity of any kind or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement (including without limitations the transactions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than:

(a) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business,

(b) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement,

In the event the Borrower shall at any time incur any borrowings under an Originator Subordinated Secured Note under the Sale Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower in connection therewith shall be subordinated to the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, on such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the junior liens granted in respect thereof shall be subject to the Originator Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower shall not pay any debt or expense of any Originator and shall not hold itself or its credit out as being available to pay, and shall not guarantee or secure with the Borrower’s assets the payment of, any debt or expense of any Originator.

Section 6.08.Merger. The Borrower shall not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person.

Section 6.09.Restricted Junior Payments. The Borrower shall not make any Restricted Junior Payment if a Termination Event (or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, an Incipient Termination Event) exists or would result therefrom.

Section 6.10.ERISA. Except for events that are not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its ERISA Affiliates to, cause or permit to occur an event that (a) could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a lien on any Receivable or Related Security or Collections with respect thereto under Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 or 4068 of ERISA, or (b) could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by Borrower of any liabilities under Title IV of ERISA (other than (x) premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business and (y) liabilities arising under Section 4041(b) of ERISA).

Section 6.11.Sale Characterization. The Borrower shall not make statements or disclosures, prepare any financial statements or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement (including for accounting and reporting purposes, but not for tax purposes) in any manner other than with respect to each sale of each Receivable effected pursuant to the Sale Agreement, as a true sale and absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of such Receivable or Related Security or Collections with respect thereto by the Originators to the Borrower.

Section 6.12.Commingling.

ARTICLE 8

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Standstill Agreement and the Originator Intercreditor Agreement), and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements and entry into account control agreements, in each case in respect of the Collateral), together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental and related thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Transaction Parties or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, (b) the

Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents or that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Transaction Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Transaction Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Transaction Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Transaction Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may

perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) absent the continuance of an Event of Default, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower, as applicable) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.14(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained

therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrower and will rely significantly upon the Transaction Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Transaction Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

No waiver of any provision of any Transaction Document or consent to any departure by any Transaction Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Incipient Termination Event, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Incipient Termination Event at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (y) in the case of any other Transaction Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Transaction Party or Transaction Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders;provided that (i) the consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be required to (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder (provided that waivers of Incipient Termination Events or Termination Events or waivers of default interest shall not be deemed to be reductions in the rate of interest or any fee under the Transaction Documents), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (other than any mandatory prepayments), or (D) change Section 2.15(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, (ii) except as provided in clause (d) of this Section, the consent of each Lender shall be required to (A) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Transaction Document to reduce the number or percentage of Lenders stated therein required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (B) except as otherwise expressly permitted in any Transaction Document, release any of the Collateral and (C) change Section 2.17, and (iii) the consent of the Supermajority Term A Lenders and the Supermajority Term B Lenders shall be required (A) to amend

the definition of “Borrowing Base” and any other defined terms used in such definition, in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or in a manner that would make more credit available to the Borrower and (B) to replace the Company as servicer (other than in accordance with Section 11.01(a)); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.17 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. In addition, Schedule 2 may be amended in accordance with Section 3.01(k) and Schedule 3 may be amended in accordance with Section 4.02(b) of the Sale Agreement.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article 7. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of each Lender. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Lender directly adversely affected thereby”, “Supermajority Term A Lenders” or “Supermajority Term B Lenders”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be

terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.12 and 2.14, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.13 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

Section 9.03.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Initial Lenders and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Initial Lenders (limited in the case of counsel to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one primary counsel for the Initial Lenders and one local counsel in each material jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the Facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Transaction Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders, one primary counsel for the Initial Lenders, one local counsel in each material jurisdiction and any conflicts counsel), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Transaction Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.03, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals and insurance reviews; and

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person

being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, (iv) the failure of the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrower for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of or any material breach of the Transaction Documents by such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Parties) or (B) a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than claims against the Administrative Agent solely in such capacity).

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

(d) Subject to Section 9.03(a), to the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such request).

Section 9.04.Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent,provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan or Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of a Term A Commitment or, in the case of a Term A Loan or Term B Loan, $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing;

(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 Agreement,provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Transaction Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

(E) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Credit Agreement, the Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the forms or certifications, as applicable, described in Section 2.14, to the extent required thereby.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (1) a Lender, (2) an Affiliate of a Lender or (3) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a

party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest proof, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans and Commitments are intended to be treated as registered obligations for tax purposes and the right, title and interest of the Lenders in and to such Loans and Commitments shall be transferable only in accordance with the terms hereof. This Section 9.04(b)(iv) shall be construed so that the Loans and Commitments 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.

100

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this 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 Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(f) as though it were a Lender.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans or other Obligations under this Agreement (“Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Obligations under any this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest

101

error, and the relevant Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the relevant participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05.Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Transaction Parties in the Transaction Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations not due and owing) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and

102

their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07.Severability. Any provision of any Transaction Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08.Right of Setoff. If a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Transaction Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Transaction Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or

103

any other Transaction Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against any Transaction Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11.Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12.Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure

104

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent (in such capacity) or any Lender (in such capacity) on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13.Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.

Section 9.14.USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

105

Section 9.17.Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

ADMINISTRATIONAND COLLECTION

Section 11.01.Designation of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 11.01. The Company is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may designate as Servicer any Person to succeed the Company or any successor Servicer. In addition, the Servicer may be replaced with the consent of the Borrower, the Supermajority Term A Lenders and the Supermajority Term B Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02(b).

(b) The Company is permitted to delegate, and the Company hereby advises the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that it has delegated, to each of the Originators, as subservicers of the Servicer, certain of its duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in respect of the Transferred Receivables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) for so long as the Company is Servicer, the Company shall be and remains primarily liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) for so long as the Company is Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Company in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Company in order for communication to the Servicer and its subservicer or other delegate in respect thereof to be accomplished. The Company, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing its subservicer or other delegate with any notice given under this Agreement.

(c) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (i) the Company shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than each Originator, and then such delegation shall be limited to the activities of Servicer hereunder as the same may relate to the Receivables originated by such Originator, and (ii) no Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by the Company. If following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Servicer Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than the Company, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by the Company to the Originators may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be terminated forthwith on written notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Company.

109

Section 11.02.Duties of Servicer. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, the Servicer shall conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions that (i) it determines in good faith may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect each Transferred Receivable from time to time, and (ii) are consistent with the Credit and Collection Policies and industry practice for the servicing of accounts receivable similar to such Transferred Receivables.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer shall be responsible for the following:

(i) preparation and delivery on behalf of the Borrower of all borrowing requests, repayment notices, Borrowing Base Certificates, Monthly Reports, Weekly Reports and Daily Reports required to be delivered under this Agreement; and

(ii) establishment, maintenance and administration of the Collection Accounts.

(c) The Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof;provided, however,that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

Section 11.03.Collections on Receivables. (a) In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree that such Collections shall be deemed to have been received on such Receivables in the order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor. In addition, if (i) an Obligor is an obligor on Transferred Receivables and any other Receivables or indebtedness owed to any Originator or any of its respective Affiliates and (ii) the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Receivables or other indebtedness on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, then, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Collections on such Transferred Receivables or other Receivables or indebtedness shall be treated first, as a Collection of any Transferred Receivables of such Obligor, in the order in which they were originated, before being applied to any other Receivables or

110

other indebtedness of such Obligor. In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (x) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as reasonably determined by the Servicer, and (y) from and after the continuance of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.

(b) If the Servicer determines that amounts unrelated to the Transferred Receivables (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in any Collection Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than three Business Days following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which evidence, upon such notice, the Servicer may withdraw such amount from such Collection Account for its own account.

(c)Authorization of the Servicer. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Servicer to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of the Borrower hereunder and under the Sale Agreement, in the determination of the Servicer, to (x) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (y) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commence proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Invoice therefor and to adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.03. The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer’s expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that Borrower deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such Person’s express prior written consent.
