(a) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made by such Lender as part of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it under this Agreement on the proposed date of such Loan by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by 2:00 p.m. (Boston time), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any applicable condition specified in Article V has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Failure of one Lender to make a Loan shall not relieve other Lenders from their obligation (if any, under the terms of this Agreement) to do so.

(c) The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type. Each Lender at its option may make any LIBOR Loan by causing any branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Several Obligations. The amounts payable by the Borrower to each Lender at any time hereunder and under the other Financing Documents shall be a separate and independent debt.

Section 2.06 Interest Elections.

(a) The Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect (i) to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of a different Type, or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type, and (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, in each case as provided in this Section.

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

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

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies;

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

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

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period permitted by Section 2.02(c) and the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing before the end of the Interest Period therefor, unless such Borrowing is repaid, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with a one month Interest Period.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted into a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month at the end of the Interest Period therefor, or at the request of the Borrower, into a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.07 Notes; Records.

(a) At the request of any Revolving Lender, the Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Revolving Lender, payable to such Revolving Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment and otherwise duly completed.

(b) At the request of any Term Lender, the Term Loan made by such Term Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Term Lender, payable to such Term Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Term Commitment and otherwise duly completed.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower, including the date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan of each Class made by such Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof, each Interest Period therefor, the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, or to become due and payable, from the Borrower to each Lender under this Agreement, the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account

of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s records pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not affect in any manner the obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor to repay the Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.08 Letters of Credit.

(a) The L/C Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.08, (a) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit, or (as the case may be) to cause Letters of Credit to be issued by the L/C Substitute Issuer, in each case for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued, or (as the case may be) to cause Letters of Credit previously issued to be amended or extended by the L/C Substitute Issuer, all in accordance with Section 2.08(b), and (b) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit, or (as the case may be) to cause the L/C Substitute Issuer to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided, however, that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, or (as the case may be) cause any Letter of Credit to be issued by the L/C Substitute Issuer, if:

1) subject to Section 2.08(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent has approved such expiry date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the L/C Expiration Date); or

2) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, or (as the case may be) to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued by the L/C Substitute Issuer, if:

1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the L/C Commitment Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the L/C Commitment Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

2) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000;

3) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars;

4) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

5) any default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.08(c) exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit, or otherwise cause any Letter of Credit to be amended by the L/C Substitute Issuer, if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit, or (as the case may be) to cause such Letter of Credit to be issued, in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit, or otherwise to cause any Letter of Credit to be amended, if (x) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit (or to cause such

Letter of Credit to be issued) in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (y) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

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

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent in the form of an L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., at least four (4) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in any particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of any request for the initial issuance of any Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of any request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Obligor, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the

requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit, or (as the case may be) cause a Letter of Credit to be issued by the L/C Substitute Issuer, in each case for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case, in accordance with the usual and customary business practices of the L/C Issuer and (if applicable) the L/C Substitute Issuer. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue (or cause to be issued) a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, however, that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer or (as the case may be) L/C Substitute Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (x) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit (or otherwise to cause such Letter of Credit to be issued) in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.08(a) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is ten (10) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (x) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension, or (z) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

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

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or (as the case may be) from the L/C Substitute Issuer, of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer or (as the case may be) by the L/C Substitute Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “L/C Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the L/C Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(b) for the principal amount of Borrowings, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Article V (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.08(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided, however, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Article V cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the L/C Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.08.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.08(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the L/C Substitute Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuation of any Default; or (c) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Article V (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under or with respect to any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08(c) by the time specified in Section 2.08(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.08(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under or with respect to any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.08(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its applicable Revolving Commitment thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.08 (including pursuant to any settlement

entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its applicable Revolving Commitment thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, payment in full of the Secured Obligations, and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer, the L/C Substitute Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or Instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

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

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Loan Parties, except any circumstance or happening caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer or (as the case may be) the L/C Substitute Issuer.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under any Letter of Credit, neither the L/C Issuer nor the L/C Substitute Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Substitute Issuer, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or Instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Substitute Issuer, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer or the L/C Substitute Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.08(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the L/C Issuer or L/C Substitute Issuer or the willful failure of the L/C Issuer or L/C Substitute Issuer to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer and the L/C Substitute Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, and neither the L/C Issuer nor the L/C Substitute Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any Instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer or (as the case may be) the L/C Substitute Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as cash collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Letter of Credit fees (the “Letter of Credit Fees”) for each Letter of Credit at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans that are LIBOR Loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.08(m). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Loans that are LIBOR Loans during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans that are LIBOR Loans plus 2.0% times the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit payable in the amount customarily charged by the L/C Issuer (as of the Closing Date, 50 basis points on the stated amount of any Letter of Credit, plus $1,500 if the stated amount of the Letter of Credit is less than $100,000).

Notwithstanding that any Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Guarantor, the Borrower shall nevertheless be and remain obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Guarantor inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the business of the Borrower Group.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of any letter of credit (including any Letter of Credit) at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such letter of credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any letter of credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such letter of credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such letter of credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Section 2.09 Fees.

Section 3.02 Interest.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) if such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, LIBOR for each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the option of the Lenders, the unpaid balance of all Loans shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at an interest rate (the “Post-Default Rate”) equal to 2% per annum above the interest rate then applicable to each such Loan in effect on the day such Event of Default occurs, until such Event of Default is cured or waived; provided, that if an Event of Default of the kind referred to in Sections 9.01(h), (i) or (j) occurs and is continuing, then the unpaid balance of all Loans shall automatically bear such additional Post-Default Rate interest, without the need for any notice or election by the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate as specified in this paragraph from time to time on demand.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, quarterly on each Quarterly Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period (and, in the case of any Interest Period longer than three months, on each date that falls every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period) therefor, (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type; provided, that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders to which such interest is payable of the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change thereto promptly after such determination or change.

(e) Interest on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

(f) All agreements between any Obligor(s) and the Lenders are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Secured Obligations or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use or the forbearance of the Secured Obligations exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law of The State of New York in effect as of the date hereof; provided, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the

Financing Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrower, Guarantors and the Lenders in the execution, delivery and acceptance of the Financing Documents to contract in strict compliance with the laws of The State of New York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of any Financing Document at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever the Lenders should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Secured Obligations and only then, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of the Financing Documents.

Section 3.03 Optional Prepayments. Subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.06, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, (without penalty or premium, other than amounts, if any, due under Section 3.06), provided that:

(a) each partial, optional prepayment of the Loans shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 or, if less the full outstanding balance on the Loans, together with all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment;

(b) prepayments of Loans shall be made upon at least (i) one (1) Business Days’ notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three (3) Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBOR Loans; and

Without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to obtain the consent of the Majority Lenders pursuant to Section 8.04 to any Disposition not otherwise permitted under this Agreement, not more than five Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of Net Cash Payments from any Disposition not permitted under Section 8.04, the Borrower will (i) deliver to the Lenders a certificate of a Responsible Officer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the amount of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition and either (x) reinvest (or designate for reinvestment) such Net Available Proceeds within 90 days (and, in the case of a designation, reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within 180 days) or (y) prepay the Loans and, if the Loans have been repaid in full, reduce the Revolving Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition.

(b) Insurance Proceeds. In the event that the Net Available Proceeds of any Casualty Event affecting any property of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (herein, the “Current Casualty Event”), and of all prior Casualty Events as to which a prepayment has not yet been made under this paragraph, shall exceed $50,000 then, on or before the date 90 days

after the receipt by Borrower of the proceeds of any insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of the Current Casualty Event (or upon such earlier date as such Borrower or such Subsidiary shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by the Current Casualty Event), the Borrower shall either, (x) reinvest (or designate for reinvestment) such Net Available Proceeds within 90 days (and, in the case of a designation, reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within 180 days), or (y) prepay the Loans and, if the Loans have been repaid in full, reduce the Revolving Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of the Current Casualty Event and prior Casualty Events as to which such prepayment has not yet been made under this paragraph, to the extent such Net Available Proceeds of a prior Casualty Event have not been reinvested under this Section 3.04(b). Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit any obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant to any Security Document to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Administrative Agent the proceeds of any insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event except as provided for in this clause (b). In the event of receipt by any Obligor of any Life Insurance Proceeds promptly after receipt by the relevant insured party of proceeds of such insurance, if not paid directly to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and, if the Loans have been repaid in full, reduce the Revolving Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Life Insurance Proceeds.

Upon receipt by Borrower or any other Obligor of Net Available Proceeds of any Equity Issuance (for avoidance of doubt, including any Public Offering, but excluding (i) payments made by optionholders in connection with any exercise of options in respect of any shares eligible to participate in the Special Dividend prior to the record date of the Special Dividend and (ii) any issuance or sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date of any warrants or options issued to directors, officers or employees of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates pursuant to employee benefit plans established in the ordinary course of business or existing on the date hereof and disclosed to the Lenders in writing and any Equity Interests of the Borrower issued upon the exercise of such warrants or options), or issuance of securities or instruments constituting Indebtedness by the Borrower or such Obligor, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds thereof.

(d) Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Borrower shall prepay all Loans in full.

Within 20 days after completion of the audit of the annual financial statements of the Borrower Group for each fiscal year of the Borrower ending on and after December 31, 2008, but in any event no later than April 30 of each such fiscal year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and, if the Loans have been repaid in full, reduce the Revolving Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to (i) if the Total Leverage Ratio (as of the fiscal year end for which audited annual financial statements of the Borrower Group have been delivered in accordance with Section 7.01) is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1, seventy-five percent (75%) of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year and (ii) if the Total Leverage Ratio (as of the fiscal year end for which audited annual financial statements of the Borrower Group have been delivered in accordance with Section 7.01) is less than 2.50 to 1, fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year.

(f) Application. Prepayments and/or reductions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be applied, without penalty or premium (other than amounts, if any, due under Section 3.06), as follows:

1) first to prepay the Term Loans and principal repayment installments thereof in inverse order of maturity;

2) second, after payment in full of all Term Loans, ratably to all L/C Borrowings;

3) third, ratably to all outstanding Revolving Loans;

4) fourth, to Cash Collateralize all remaining L/C Obligations in full; and

5) fifth, after the payment in full of all L/C Borrowings and all outstanding Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full, any amount remaining may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business, and so long as a Public Market does not exist, the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to such remaining amount.

(g) Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans.

(i) If at any time the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Revolver Amount, the Borrower will prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess upon demand.

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans after giving effect to such reduction or termination (as the case may be) and (y) if such sum would exceed the total Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

Section 3.05 Notice of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by facsimile, of any prepayment under Section 3.03 or 3.04 (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than noon (Boston time), three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than noon (Boston time), one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or part thereof to be prepaid and (for a mandatory prepayment) a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly after receipt of any such prepayment notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the substance thereof. Except as specified in Section 3.04(d), each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.04(f). All prepayments shall be made together with accrued interest to the

extent required by Section 3.02 and amounts, if any, required by Section 3.06; provided that, if a mandatory prepayment required by Section 3.04 would result in a payment obligation of the Borrower under Section 3.06 (Break-Funding), then at the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent may hold and apply such prepayment amount on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Interest Period in which such mandatory prepayment is required and (ii) the date on which a Default occurs.

Section 3.07 Payments Generally.

(a) Payments by the Obligors. All payments to be made by any Obligor shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein or in any other Financing Document, each Obligor shall make all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by such Obligor under the Financing Documents in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, prior to 1:00 p.m. Boston time, on the date when due. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All amounts owing under any Financing Document are payable in U.S. dollars. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any payment under any Financing Document 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 interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time the Administrative Agent does not receive sufficient funds to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due under the Financing Documents, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due under this Agreement, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due under this Agreement, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under said Sections until all such obligations are fully paid.

(d) Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or any Obligor prior to the date on which such notifying party is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent (in the case of a Lender) of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of such Obligor) a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (each payment being herein called a “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that it does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Lender or such Obligor (as the case may be) has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until but excluding the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum which, for any Lender as recipient, will be equal to the Federal Funds Rate, and for such Obligor as recipient, will be equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Section 3.08 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement:

AFFILIATE GUARANTEE

Section 4.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee (the “Affiliate Guarantee”), each as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower, and the prompt payment and performance of all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Financing Document (including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC §502(b) and §506(b) or under similar provisions of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws of other relevant jurisdictions), in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if Borrower or any other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash and/or perform the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 4.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented, amended or restated in any respect, or

any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Loan Party under this Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 4.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 4.04 Subrogation; Subordination.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 4.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to such payment, satisfaction, expiration and termination shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall promptly be paid and turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Agent, if required), to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to such payment, satisfaction, expiration and termination, each Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Loan Party (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Article IV to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Obligor hereby subordinates the payment of any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party owing to such Obligor, whether

direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now existing or hereafter created or arising, due or to become due, and howsoever evidenced, together with any renewal or renewals thereof, extension or extensions thereof or expansions or increases in the principal amount thereof, including all claims against any other Loan Party to which such Obligor may be or become entitled (including claims by subrogation, contribution or otherwise by reason of any payment or performance by any Obligor in satisfaction and discharge, in whole or in part, of the Guaranteed Obligations) (collectively, the “Affiliate Subordinated Debt”), to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Obligors may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Documents, create, satisfy and make transfers with respect to the Affiliate Subordinated Debt to the extent not inconsistent with, or not prohibited by, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Obligor shall demand, take or receive from any other Loan Party, by setoff or in any other manner, payment of any other obligations of such other Loan Party to such Obligor until the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to any Obligor by any other Loan Party at any time, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, such Obligor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent such amounts, with any necessary endorsements, for application in reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Obligor agrees that any Lien that such Obligor may now or hereafter have on any property of any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated to any Lien that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have on any such property.

Section 4.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01.

Section 4.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money.

Section 4.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 4.08 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree, as among themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor (as the case may be) shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such

Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article and of all other Secured Obligations, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations.

For purposes of this Section, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any Equity Interests of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Financing Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 4.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 4.02(c), be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 4.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, the Administrative Agent 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 4.10 Best Interests. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that it is in the best interests of such Obligor to enter into this Agreement inasmuch as the Obligors will, as a result of proceeds of the Loans being made available hereunder for the Special Dividend and for working capital and other financing needs of the Borrower, derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, and each Obligor agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrower.

Section 4.11 Amendments to Financing Documents. Without limiting any other term of this Agreement, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees with the Secured Parties that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Guarantors, but with consent of the Borrower to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement, amend, restate, modify, supplement, waive defaults or events of default, release collateral or any Loan Party in whole or in part or take or forbear from taking any other action whatsoever with respect to any Financing Document, and any such action or inaction shall not impair as in any manner affect the validity or enforceability of the Affiliate Guaranty.

Section 4.12 Joint and Several Obligations of Obligors. Each of the Obligors hereby accepts joint and several liability under the Financing Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided to the Borrower by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of the Obligors and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Obligors to accept joint and several liability for the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of Article IV shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such joint and several obligations of the Obligors, with respect to such obligations of the Borrower, as if (i) each reference therein to the “Guarantors” or a “Guarantor” or the like shall be deemed to be a reference to the “Borrower” and (ii) each reference therein to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a reference to the “other Obligors”.

Each Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Guarantor has read and fully understands the terms and conditions of the Financing Documents. Each Guarantor hereby covenants that such Guarantor will continue to keep informed of the Borrower’s financial condition, the financial condition of the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 10.01 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If the Majority Lenders reasonably determine that in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) U.S. dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender in writing. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 10.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any law enacted after the Closing Date has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 10.03 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 10.03(e));

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 10.04 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing thereof, and upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Lender’s holding company or Applicable Lending Office, if any, regarding capital requirements (other than as a result of such Lender having

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding Company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and the Lender’s calculation thereof, in reasonable detail, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

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

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

(f) The Borrower may, at any time, replace any Lender as to which the Borrower is obligated to make payments under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section or under Section 10.04 by giving not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify such Lender), that it intends to replace such Lender with one or more banks (including but not limited to one or more Lenders under this Agreement) selected by the Borrower that (i) have agreed to replace such Lender as provided in this paragraph and (ii) are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of any replacement under this paragraph and as a condition to such replacement, the replacement bank

or banks shall pay to the Lender being replaced the principal of the Loans held by such Lender and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon delivery to the Borrower of the notes, if any, evidencing the Loans made by such Lender, all accrued interest on such Loans and all other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder whereupon each such replacement bank (if not already a Lender) shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering the Loans of such Lender, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to hold an Affected Loan (an “Affected Lender”) or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, it will if reasonably practicable, (i) make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the Affected Loans of such Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender and (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section would be reduced.

Section 10.04 Payments Free and Clear; U.S. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 3.01, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, Taxes imposed on its net income or net profits, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, and any branch profits imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Lender is located, by (i) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is a citizen or resident or in which such Lender has a permanent establishment (or is otherwise engaged in the active conduct of its banking business through an office or a branch) which is such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, (ii) the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized, or (iii) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which Taxes are imposed as a result of such Lender or the Administrative Agent doing business in such jurisdiction (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Included Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Included Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Financing Document to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.04), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (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 taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, any Assignment and Acceptance or any other Financing Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Included Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Included Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.04) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender), as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Included Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Any payment pursuant to such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d) Receipts. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Lender Representations. Each Lender represents that it is either (i) a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or (ii) it is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to it pursuant to this Agreement (A) under an applicable provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party or (B) because it is acting through a branch agency or office in the United States of America and any payment to be received by it hereunder is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of America. Each Lender that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof agrees to provide to the Borrower and the Agent on the Closing Date, or on the date of its delivery of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, and at such other times as required by United States law or as the Borrower or the Agent shall reasonably request, two accurate and complete original signed copies of either (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying that all payments to be made to it hereunder will be effectively connected to a United States trade or business (the “W-8ECI Certification”) or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying that it is entitled to the benefit of a provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party which completely exempts from United States withholding tax all payments to be made to it hereunder (the “W-8BEN Certification”). In addition, each Lender agrees that if it previously filed a W-8ECI Certification it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new W-8ECI Certification prior to the first payment date occurring in each of its subsequent taxable years (or sooner if otherwise required by applicable law to maintain such certification); and if it previously filed a W-8BEN Certification, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a new certification prior to the first payment date falling in the third year following each previous filing of such certification (or sooner if otherwise required by applicable law to maintain such certification). Each Lender also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such other or supplemental forms as may at any time be required as a result of changes in applicable law or regulation in order to confirm or maintain in effect its entitlement to exemption from United States withholding tax on any payments hereunder, provided that the circumstances of the Lender at the relevant time and applicable laws permit it

to do so. If a Lender determines, as a result of any change in either (i) applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application thereof or (ii) its circumstances, that it is unable to submit any form or certificate that it is obligated to submit pursuant to this Section, or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of such fact. If a Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, unless the Borrower and the Agent have received a W-8BEN Certification or W-8ECI Certification satisfactory to them indicating that all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from any United States taxes, penalties, interest and other expenses, costs and losses incurred or payable by the Agent as a result of such Lender’s failure to submit any form or certificate that it is required to provide pursuant to this Section or as a result of its reliance on any such form or certificate which it has provided to it pursuant to this Section.

(f) Failure to Provide Form. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the form required pursuant to Section 10.04(e), if any (other than if such failure is due to a change in treaty, applicable law or regulation, or in official application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided by such Lender), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which Taxes would not have been imposed but for such failure to provide such forms; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) Efforts to Avoid or Reduce. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.04 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or the Agent or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or to contest any tax imposed if the making of such a filing or change or contesting such tax would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Included Taxes, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Borrower, apply for such refund. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund or claims a credit or other tax benefit as a result of the payment of taxes by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly repay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund, credit or other tax benefit.

(i) The Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amount in respect of Included Taxes pursuant to this Section 10.04 to any Lender or Assignee or to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender or any Assignee if the obligation to pay such additional amount would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender or Assignee to comply with its obligations under subsection (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 10.04.

Section 10.05 Survival. All of the Borrower’ obligations under this Article X shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Secured Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints NewStar to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 11.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer. Each of the Lenders and L/C Issuer agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to enforce any remedy upon any Default including foreclosing on any lien on, or otherwise enforcing any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

Section 11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Financing Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Financing Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as 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 (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.02 and Article IX) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

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 Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.04 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, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender before the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under any Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 11.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, L/C Issuer and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Financing Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any Financing Document, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under the Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 11.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on any Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder.

Section 11.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall

then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 12.03.

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

Section 11.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Financing Document (i) upon termination of all the Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted under any Financing Document, or (iii) subject to Section 12.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Financing Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.02; and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty hereunder if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty hereunder pursuant to this Section 11.09.

Section 11.10 Appointment of First L/C Issuer.

(a) The first L/C Issuer hereunder shall be NewStar Financial. NewStar Financial shall accept such appointment as L/C Issuer by executing and delivering a signature page to this Agreement. Upon the acceptance by NewStar Financial of its appointment as first L/C Issuer hereunder, NewStar Financial shall become party to and bound by this Agreement as L/C Issuer hereunder without the need for any amendment to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents and without the need for the consent of any other parties hereto.

(b) Upon acceptance by NewStar Financial of its appointment as first L/C Issuer hereunder, NewStar Financial shall (i) become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder, and (ii) make arrangements reasonably satisfactory with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the issue from time to time of Letters of Credit hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Person party hereto as L/C Issuer shall have the continuing right to resign as L/C Issuer upon the terms contained in Section 12.04(j).

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers: Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power under the Financing Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders under the Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Financing Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

100

(b) Amendments. Neither any Financing Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties party thereto and the Majority Lenders, or by the Loan Parties party thereto and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender, or extend the date or decrease the amount of any scheduled reduction thereof, without the written consent of each Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any 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 scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders or Types or Classes of Loans, without the written consent of such Lender affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) release any Obligor from any of such Obligor’s guarantee obligations under Article IV (other than as expressly permitted hereunder) or release all or substantially all of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender; and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer, respectively.

Section 12.03 Expenses: Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors (with respect to the Guarantors, jointly and severally) shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided hereunder, or the preparation of the Financing Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Financing Documents, including its rights under this Section, or its rights in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof following an Event of Default, and (iii) all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. Each Obligor indemnifies the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, holds each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,

including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Financing Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, any payments that the Administrative Agent is required to make under any indemnity issued to any bank in the Security Agreement or any Account Control Agreement to which remittances in respect of Accounts, as defined therein, are to be made, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Obligor 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 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted or arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee.

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

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages. No Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Financing Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable upon written demand therefor.

Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Obligor (other than as permitted hereunder) without such consent 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

102

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), the amount of the Commitment(s) 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) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Financing Documents, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided, further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 other Financing Documents, 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 the other Financing Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.06, 10.03, 10.04 and 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of the Financing Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Boston a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and interest owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, L/C Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

103

(d) Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any competitor of any Obligor) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under the Financing Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Financing Documents 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 other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Financing Documents. 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 the Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Financing Document.

(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.06 or 10.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) No Assignments to the Obligors or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

(i) Consent to NewStar Assignments. Borrower consents to the NewStar Assignments and agrees that from and after the effective date of such NewStar Assignments, the Commitments shall be as set forth on Schedule A-2.

104

(j) Resignation as L/C Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the first L/C Issuer appointed hereunder pursuant to Section 11.10 and any successor L/C Issuer may, upon not less than fourteen (14) days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Administrative Agent to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of any L/C Issuer. If any L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Loans). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 12.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in the Financing Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Financing Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Financing Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.06, 4.03, 10.03, 10.04 and 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment in full in cash of all other Secured Obligations and the discharge thereof, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of the Financing Documents or any provision thereof.

Section 12.06 Counterparts: Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

105

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.08 Right of Set-off; Sharing.

(a) Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other indebtedness (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Financing Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Financing Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.08, if at any time any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.

(b) Sharing of Set-offs. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 12.08 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall not apply).

106

(c) Consent of Obligors. Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Obligor all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

(d) Rights of Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Obligor. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 12.08 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 12.08 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

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

Section 12.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENTS RELATING THERETO AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower and the Guarantors each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors each irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices herein. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 12.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

108

more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and each Obligor hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Obligor and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) upon written notice to the Borrower, to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Financing Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Financing Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than an Obligor.
