Article II

AMOUNTAND TERMSOFTHE TERM LOAN COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1. Term Loan Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan in Dollars (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment; provided that without limiting Section 2.21, the Term Loans funded to the Lead Borrower shall be in a principal amount of $37,500,000, and the Term Loans funded to the Co-Borrower shall be in a principal amount of $37,500,000. The Term Loans shall be funded at 98% of par (i.e., 2% original issue discount (“OID”)). Notwithstanding such OID, it is understood and agreed that the full par value thereof shall be due and payable in accordance with this Agreement and shall constitute principal amount of Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower borrows Term Loans on the Effective Date and the Term Loan Commitments have not been utilized in full as a result of such Borrowings, the remaining Term Loan Commitments shall terminate on the Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to such Borrowings. The Term Loans may be, from time to time, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans or a combination thereof.

Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.2. Requests for Term Loans. To request a Borrowing on the Effective Date, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Notice of Term Loan Borrowing”) (x) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the requested date of such Borrowing or (y) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the requested date of such Borrowing. Each Notice of Term Loan Borrowing shall be irrevocable (subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date) and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Term Loans comprising such Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period) and (v) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Borrowing should be credited. The aggregate principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be not less than $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of each Base Rate Borrowing shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000; provided, that Base Rate Loans made pursuant to Section 2.9 may be made in lesser amounts as provided therein. At no time shall there be more than three Eurodollar Rate Borrowings outstanding.

Section 2.3. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender will make available each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the

36

Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts received by the Administrative Agent, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day on which such Lender is to participate in a Base Rate Borrowing or (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such Lender is to participate in a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(c) All Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

Section 2.4. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Term Loan Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Term Loan Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, may elect successive Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.4. 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 Term Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Term Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), of each Borrowing that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, (x) in the case of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the same Business Day of the requested date of conversion and (y) in the case of a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, prior to 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of continuation or conversion. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to

37

which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Rate Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.2.

(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

(d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

Section 2.5. Repayment of Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.6. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.4, (iv) the date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to Section 2.4, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of such Term Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Term Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

38

(b) At the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note, payable to such Lender.

Section 2.7. Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.10(b), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment and (ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or the occurrence of any other transaction, 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 (it being understood that the Borrower shall be required to pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14 in any such event). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.9; provided, that (x) if a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14 and (y) all such prepayments shall be accompanied by any applicable fees in accordance with Section 2.10(b). Each partial prepayment of any Term Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing.

Section 2.8. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall use 100% of the Net Proceeds of any sale or disposition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than any Permitted Asset Sale) whether effected pursuant to a Division or otherwise or of any Casualty, within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof to make a prepayment of the Term Loans.; provided that, prior to the payoff in full of the DIP Obligations (i) 100% of the Net Proceeds of any sale or disposition of any Collateral (other than DIP Junior Priority Collateral) shall be applied to prepay the DIP Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 of the DIP Credit Agreement and (ii) 100% of the Net Proceeds of any sale or disposition of any assets other than Collateral shall be applied to make a prepayment of the Term Loans and DIP Term Loans on a ratable basis.” In the event of a Casualty (other than a Casualty described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) of Collateral or of any Specified Aircraft, the Loan Parties (i) shall cause the Net Proceeds to be delivered to the Administrative Agent as loss payee, and (ii) in lieu of making a prepayment under this Section 2.8(a)(i) with respect to such Casualty, may substitute Collateral (of the same or better lien priority and perfection) of equal or greater aggregate value as determined by a methodology mutually agreeable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that tangible assets will be replaced with tangible assets and intangible assets will be replaced with intangible assets, within 90 days (or within a period of 90 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 90-day period the Borrower shall have entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire such tangible or intangible assets) of such Casualty. If at the end of any such 90-day period (or within a period of 90 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 90-day period the Borrower shall have entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire such tangible or intangible assets), any Net Proceeds from a Casualty of any Collateral or of Specified Aircraft have not been used for prepayment or

39

substitute Collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.8.(a)(i), then such Net Proceeds shall be applied to make a partial prepayment of the Term Loans. Upon such a substitution of Collateral and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower or such Loan Party the amount of such Net Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral or Specified Aircraft relating to such Casualty. Any such prepayment on account of the Term Loans made under this Section 2.8(a)(i) shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

(ii) [Intentionally omitted].

(iii) [Intentionally omitted].

(iv) The Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis, in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Net Proceeds of any incurrence of any Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.1.

(v) [Intentionally omitted.]

(b) [Intentionally omitted.]

(c) Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(a) above with respect to the Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all other fees and reimbursable expenses of the Lenders, if any, then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of such fees and expenses; third, to interest then due and payable on the Term Loans, pro rata to the applicable electing Lenders based on their respective outstanding Term Loans; and fourth, to the principal of the Term Loans held by the applicable electing Lenders, until the same shall have been paid in full.

Section 2.9. Interest on Term Loans. (a) The Borrower shall pay interest (i) on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, and (ii) on each Eurodollar Rate Loan at the Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) If any payment due by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is not made when due (without regard to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such owed amount shall automatically bear interest at the Default Interest rate (as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) without further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. In addition, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) with respect to all Eurodollar Rate Loans at the rate otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Period, plus an additional 2% per annum until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with respect to all Base Rate Loans and all other Obligations hereunder (other than Term Loans), at the rate in effect for Base Rate Loans, plus an additional 2% per annum.

(c) Interest on the principal amount of all Term Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Term Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Maturity Date. Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be payable on the last day of each month, and on the Maturity Date. Interest on any Term Loan which is converted into a Term Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.

40

(d) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Term Loans as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Term Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Term Loans or (y) convert such Term Loans into Base Rate Loans and (B) the obligations of the Lenders to make, or to convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(e) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Term Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into Base Rate Loans.

(f) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than the minimum borrowing amounts allowed for in Section 2.2, such Term Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans.

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be converted into Base Rate Loans and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended.

Section 2.10. Fees. The Borrower shall pay (a) to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (b) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding Term Loans prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.8(a)(iv) (provided, that, if any such prepayment is with the proceeds of a debtor-in-possession financing (other than a debtor-in-possession financing provided by at least the Required Lenders), such fee shall be equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding Term Loans prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.8(a)(iv)), and such fee shall be due and payable on each prepayment date on the portion of such Term Loans so prepaid and (c) if the maturity of the Term Loans is accelerated (or would have been accelerated but for the operation of the automatic stay) pursuant to Section 8.1, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding.

41

Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans and amounts determined by reference to the Federal Funds Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 2.12. Illegality. (a) If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Term Loans as or into Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Lender’s Term Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then outstanding, such Term Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Section 2.13. 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 Eurodollar Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase materially the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand (specifying the basis therefor and the computation with respect thereto) by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that on or after the date of this Agreement 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 parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s parent

42

corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written notice from and demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof.

(d) If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation under this Section, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Person setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 120th day preceding such written demand.

Section 2.14. Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan if such event had not occurred at the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Rate 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan for the same period if the Eurodollar Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation under this Section, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Person setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 120th day preceding such written demand.

Section 2.15. 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 deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

43

(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 ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by a Governmental Authority and 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 2.15) 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. 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) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority under Section 2.15(a) or (b), 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.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from the Borrower hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any successor form thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the Foreign Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the

44

date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for such purpose). If any Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes aware that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any Other Tax with respect to which the Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) to the Borrower within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such assistance as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund; provided,however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall in any event be required to disclose any information to the Borrower with respect to the overall tax position of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender (including, solely for purposes of Section 2.15(e), Section 2.15(g) and this Section 2.15(f), the Administrative Agent) under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(g) Any Lender that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e), (f) or (g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15, or otherwise) at the Payment Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of setoff 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

45

calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.3 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 made payable for the period of such extension.

(b) All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, and other amounts not required to be applied in another manner ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(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 Term Loans or fees that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon or fees 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 Term 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 Term 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 Term 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 the amount or amounts 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

46

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.3(a), 2.16(d) or 10.3(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17. Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, 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 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.13 or Section 2.15, 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 such designation or assignment.

Section 2.18. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.19 below, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders in that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Term Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or other written notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon its receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (x) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Term Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to BaseRate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right toconvertTermconvert Term Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 2.19. Successor Eurodollar Rate. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.18 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.18 have not arisen but the supervisor for

47

the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.20. Equity Conversion Option. The Borrower shall have the option in connection with the consummation of a Reorganization Plan that is satisfactory to the Lenders to require that the Term Loans be converted into an agreed upon percentage of the equity of Holdings at an agreed upon discount to the equity value set forth in the disclosure statement with respect to such Reorganization Plan, which such percentage and equity value shall be acceptable to the Lenders.

Section 2.21.Co-Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower accepts joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation provided or to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each other.

(b) Each of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations. Each of the Lead Borrower’s and the Co-Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to Term Loans made to the Lead Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against either the Lead Borrower or the Co-Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of, the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all suretyship defenses and consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of either the Lead Borrower or the Co-Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(d) Each representation and warranty made on behalf of the Co-Borrower by the Lead Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by the Co-Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Co-Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by the Co-Borrower.

48

(e) Any reference to the “Borrower” in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document means the Lead Borrower, individually, or the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower collectively, as the context may require;provided that (i) any reference in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document to the “Borrower and its Subsidiaries” (or phrases of like nature) shall be deemed to refer to the “Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries” (as applicable and modified as necessary as the context requires), (ii) any reference in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document to the fiscal year or any fiscal quarter of the Borrower shall be deemed to refer to the fiscal year or the applicable fiscal quarter of the Lead Borrower and (iii) unless the context requires otherwise, any reference in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document to financial statements of the Borrower shall be deemed to refer to financial statements of the Lead Borrower.

(f) For all purposes of this Agreement, the Co-Borrower hereby (i) authorizes the Lead Borrower to make such requests, give such notices or furnish such certificates to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as may be required or permitted by this Agreement for the benefit of the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower and to give any consents on behalf of the Co-Borrower required by this Agreement and (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to treat such requests, notices, certificates or consents made, given or furnished by the Lead Borrower as having been made, given or furnished by the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent or specified in this Agreement, the Lead Borrower shall be the only Person entitled to make, give or furnish such requests, notices, certificates or requests directly to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for purposes of this Agreement. The Co-Borrower agrees to be bound by all such requests, notices, certificates and consents and other such actions by the Lead Borrower. In each case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon all such requests, notices, certificates and consents made, given or furnished by the Lead Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as being made or furnished on behalf of, and with the effect of irrevocably binding, the Lead Borrower and the Co-Borrower.

(i) declare the Term Loan Commitments terminated and the principal of and any accrued interest on the Term Loans (together with any unpaid fee in accordance with Section 2.10(c) with respect to the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments), and all other Obligations owing hereunder, to be, whereupon the same shall become terminated or due and payable, as applicable, immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, (ii) exercise all remedies contained in any other Loan Document, and (iii) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to any exercise by any Secured Party of any of the remedies that involves entering into premises where any SAR Aircraft is located or taking possession of any SAR Aircraft (or any related parts or engines then unattached to the SAR Aircraft or any records regarding same), or exercising any dominion or control over any SAR Aircraft, or using any premises of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates for storage thereof or foreclosing upon or exercising any control or dominion over the Capital Stock of one or both of the Specified Aircraft SPVs (collectively, the “Restricted Remedies”), the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to the Department that an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing and provided that either (a) the Loan Parties continue to pay amounts due under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (b) within 60 days after the date of such notice an arrangement is established at the cost and expense of the Loan Parties requiring that either (i) proceeds of any payment by the Department under the U.K. SAR

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.1. Appointment of Administrative Agent. Each Lender irrevocably appoints Ankura Trust Company, LLC as the administrative agent and collateral agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of their duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, any such sub-agent and any such attorney-in-fact 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.

Section 9.2. Nature of Duties of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan 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 a Default or an Event of Default 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 those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan 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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or

78

obtained by the 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, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact 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 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any 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 Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Beyond reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its actual possession, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith.

Section 9.3. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders 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 of the Lenders 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 has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.4. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking or not taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement or requested by the Administrative Agent.

79

Section 9.5. Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.6. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Person acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no Borrower consent shall be required if a Default or Event of Default exists at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

(b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon 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 under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

80

Section 9.8. Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.

Section 9.9. Parallel Debt. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (such undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are a result thereof, hereinafter being referred to as its “Parallel Debt”) to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to and in the currency of the aggregate amount payable by it to any Secured Party under any Loan Document (the “Principal Obligations”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Principal Obligations. The Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall become due and payable as and when its Principal Obligations become due and payable. An Event of Default in respect of the Corresponding LiabilitiesPrincipal Obligations shall constitute a default (verzuim) within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Netherlands Civil Code with respect to the Parallel LiabilitiesDebt without any notice being required.

Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that (i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party (a) constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent (in its personal capacity and not in its capacity as agent) which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, its Principal Obligations and (b) represents the Administrative Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from such Loan Party and (ii) the Collateral created under the Loan Documents to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.

Each of the Loan Parties agrees that (i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased if and to the extent that its Principal Obligations have been paid or in the case of guarantee obligations discharged, (ii) the Principal Obligations of each Loan Party shall be decreased if and to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or in the case of guarantee obligations discharged, and (iii) the amount payable under the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall at no time exceed the amount payable under its Principal Obligations.

Any amount received or recovered by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Parallel Debt (including, but not limited to, enforcement proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement subject to limitations (if any) expressly provided for in any Security Document.

For the purpose of this Section 9.9, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and for itself and not as agent, trustee or representative of any other Secured Party.

For purposes of any Netherlands Security Document any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debt until all rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt have been assigned and assumed to the successor agent.

The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights and obligations under the Parallel LiabilitiesDebt to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights and obligations under any Netherlands Security Document to such successor agent.

81

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Secured Parties which are a party to this Agreement to execute and deliver any documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge created by any Netherlands Security Document. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation of Parallel Debt obligations by any Loan Party which agrees to provide security pursuant to a Netherlands Security Document.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and other communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the mail or if delivered, upon delivery; provided, that notices delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until actually received by such Person at its address specified in this Section 10.1.

(ii) Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in reasonable reliance in good faith upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.

(b) Electronic Communications.

83

(i) Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to Article II unless such Lender and the Administrative Agent have agreed to receive notices under such Section by electronic communication and have agreed to the procedures governing such communications. The Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

Section 10.2. Waiver; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, 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 Term Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Subject to Section 2.19, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Loan Parties therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by a Borrower and the Required Lenders or a Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any scheduled payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan or any fees (including fees payable under Section 2.10(c)) hereunder

84

or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender, (vi) release any Guarantor or limit the liability of any such Guarantor under the Facility Guarantee or any other Guarantee agreement or other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, except in connection with the sale or other disposition of such Guarantor or as expressly permitted in this Agreement or other Loan Documents, (vii) release all or substantially all collateral securing any of the Obligations or subordinate any Lien in such collateral to any other creditor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.3) and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

Section 10.3. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (including local counsel, foreign counsel, bankruptcy counsel, conflict counsel and aviation counsel) for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated and whether incurred before or after the date hereof) and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and financial advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), 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, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable allocated fees and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or Related Party of a Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or

85

thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed 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 of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or Related Party of a Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse such Administrative Agent or such Lender for any such reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Indemnitee agrees to contest any indemnified claim if reasonably requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnitee that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnitee shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if the Indemnitee waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.3 to any Related Party of such Indemnitee.

(c) The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(d) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof or such amount is otherwise incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with its duties, obligations and role hereunder, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

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

86

(f) All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor.

Section 10.4. 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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (e) 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) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the Term Loans at the time owing to the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $500,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

87

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (or, in the case of an assignment by any Lender party to this Agreement as of the Effective Date, to any Approved Lender with respect to such Lender) or an Approved Fund or (z) such assignment is entered into following the earlier of (i) the Plan Effective Date and (ii) the date that is one year following the Effective Date; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (other than with respect to assignments by a Lender to its Affiliate), (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section 2.15.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (i) a natural person or (ii) a Bristow Competitor.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section 10.4. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower, unless the Borrower gives written notice to the assigning Lender prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day that the Borrower objects to such assignment.

88

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Fairfield, Connecticut a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Information contained in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. In establishing and maintaining the Register, Administrative Agent shall serve as Borrower’s agent solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 10.4.

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

(e) 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 that, to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increases the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, (ii) reduces the principal amount of any Term Loan or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpones the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan or any fees hereunder or reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, (iv) changes Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (v) changes any of the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, (vi) releases any Guarantor or limits the liability of any such Guarantor under the Facility Guarantee or any other Guarantee agreement, except in connection with the sale or other disposition of such Guarantor or as expressly permitted in this Agreement or other Loan Documents or (vii) releases all or substantially all collateral securing any of the Obligations. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, and 2.15 to the same

extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. 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 Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of

89

the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15 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 shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of, and consents in writing to, the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

(g) 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.5. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

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 ANY OTHER LOAN 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 LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

90

(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 10.5 AND BROUGHT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 10.5. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.1. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. ALL LOAN PARTIES THAT ARE ORGANIZED UNDER THE LAWS OTHER THAN THOSE OF A STATE OF THE UNITED STATES HEREBY CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR THEM BEING GIVEN TO THE LEAD BORROWER AND APPOINT THE LEAD BORROWER AS THEIR AGENT FOR SUCH SERVICE. FURTHER, EACH NON-U.S. LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY IMMUNITY IT MAY HAVE UNDER ANY NON-U.S. LAW OR OTHERWISE IN RELATION TO THE JURISDICTION OR RULING OF ANY AFOREMENTIONED NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS.

Section 10.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.7. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender agrees to apply all amounts collected from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender.

91

Section 10.8. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 10.9. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Term Loan, 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 Event of 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 Term Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Term Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.11. Confidentiality.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section 10.11 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 its own confidential information.

92

Section 10.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to the Term Loans, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as interest on the Term Loans under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding a Term Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term 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 Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted by applicable law), shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.13. Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. The Borrower represents and warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any Requirement of Law, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.

Section 10.14. Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.15. Officer’s Certificates. It is not intended that any certificate of any officer or director of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of such officer or director.

Section 10.16. Effect of Inclusion of Exceptions. It is not intended that the specification of any exception to any covenant herein shall imply that the excepted matter would, but for such exception, be prohibited or required.

Section 10.17. Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) The Lenders acknowledge that the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors in respect of the Existing Senior Secured Notes will be secured by Liens on the Shared Collateral on a senior priority basis to the Secured Obligations. In connection with the Borrower’s entry into this Agreement, the Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement establishing the relative rights of the Secured Parties and the Existing Senior Secured

93

Notes Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral and certain related matters. The Lenders hereby irrevocably (i) consent to such senior priority treatment of Liens to be provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by, any Lender, (iii) agree that, upon the execution and delivery thereof and so long as it is in effect, each Lender will be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) agree that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.17 or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby further irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing of the Term Loans, any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the Existing Indenture Documents as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of each Lender, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article IX with respect to all actions referred to in this Section 10.17 and all actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, any provision hereof or any other Loan Document (a) requiring any Loan Party to deliver possession of any Shared Collateral to the Administrative Agent or its representatives, or to cause the Administrative Agent or its representatives to control any Shared Collateral, shall be deemed to have been complied with if and for so long as the Existing Collateral Agent shall have such possession or control or (b) requiring any Loan Party to name the Administrative Agent as an additional insured or a lender loss payee under any insurance policy or a beneficiary of any letter of credit, shall have been complied with if any such insurance policy or letter of credit names the Existing Collateral Agent as an additional insured, lender loss payee or beneficiary, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement when in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Lead Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements set forth in clause (3) of Schedule 5.18, and such post-closing requirement is deemed to be satisfied.

(b) The Lenders acknowledge that the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors in respect of the DIP Credit Agreement will be secured by Liens on the DIP Junior Priority Collateral on a junior priority basis to the Secured Obligations. In connection with the Borrower’s entry into this Agreement, the Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the DIP Intercreditor Agreements establishing the relative rights of the Secured Parties and the DIP Credit Agreement Secured Parties with respect to the DIP Junior Priority Collateral and certain related matters. The Lenders hereby irrevocably (i) authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the DIP Intercreditor Agreements and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by, any Lender, (ii) agree that, upon the execution and delivery thereof and so long as it is in effect, each Lender will be bound by the provisions of the DIP Intercreditor Agreements, as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the DIP Intercreditor Agreements and (iii) agree that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.17(b) or in accordance with the terms of the DIP Intercreditor Agreements. The Lenders hereby further irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to the DIP Intercreditor Agreements in

94

connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing of the Term Loans or the Term Loans (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of each Lender, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article IX with respect to all actions referred to in this Section 10.17(b) and all actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the terms of the DIP Intercreditor Agreements to the full extent thereof.

Section 10.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 10.19. Export Controls. The Borrower hereby notifies the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the sale, transfer, or export of certain ITAR-Controlled Collateral may require pre-approval from the Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. The Borrower hereby agrees to provide the necessary information required for such pre-approval upon request.

Section 10.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so

95

purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from such Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 10.21. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party that is organized under the laws other than those of a state of the United States has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE

Section 11.1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with any other Guarantors of the Obligations and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, each Guarantor waives notice of, or any requirement for further assent to, any agreements or arrangements whatsoever by the Secured Parties with any other person pertaining to the Obligations, including agreements and arrangements for payment, extension, renewal, subordination, composition, arrangement, discharge or release of the whole or any part of the Obligations, or for the discharge or surrender of any or all security, or for the compromise, whether by way of acceptance of part payment or otherwise, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the same shall in no way impair each Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

Section 11.2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other person of any of the Obligations, and also to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all other formalities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Loan Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension, renewal or increase of or in any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement or instrument, including with respect to any Guarantor under the Loan Documents; (d) the release of (or the failure to perfect a security interest in) any of the security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party; or (e) the failure or delay of any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any Guarantor of the Obligations.

96

Section 11.3. Security. Each Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to (a) take and hold security (to the extent such Guarantor has executed a Security Document in favor of the Administrative Agent) for the payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security pursuant to the terms of any other Loan Documents; (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as it in its sole discretion may determine subject to the terms of any other Loan Documents; and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other Guarantors or other obligors pursuant to the terms of any other Loan Documents. In no event shall this Section 11.03 require any Guarantor to grant security, except as required by the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

Section 11.5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims)), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than a defense of payment) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement or instrument, by any amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other agreement or instrument, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act, omission or delay to do any other act that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims)) or which would impair or eliminate any right of any Guarantor to subrogation.

Section 11.6. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations) of the Borrower or any other person. Subject to the terms of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of each Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in cash. Pursuant to and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any security.

97

Section 11.7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against each Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees on such Obligations. Upon payment by each Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of each Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims). In addition, any indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter held by each Guarantor that is required by this Agreement to be subordinated to the Obligations is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness at any time when any Obligation then due and owing has not been paid, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.8. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by any Guarantor, any creditor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 11.9. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 11.10. Covenant; Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor agrees and covenants to, and to cause its Subsidiary to, take, or refrain from taking, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, so that no breach of the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement pertaining to actions to be taken, or not taken, by such Guarantor or its Subsidiary will result. Each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof; provided that each reference in any such representation and warranty to the knowledge of the Borrower shall, for the purposes of this Section 11.10, be deemed to be a reference to Guarantor’s knowledge.

98

Section 11.11. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed by reason of the insolvency or receivership of the Borrower (including pursuant to the Cases) or otherwise, all Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.
