(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to the Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that the Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(ii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment;

(iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of (i) the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii) the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit;

(iv) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid;

(v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to the Issuer or the Lender; or

(vi) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars.

The Lender shall not have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than seven days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the Lender at least five Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Lender), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an Issuance, the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to the Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from the Lender that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against the Lender or any other Person. In the event that the Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Lender pursuant to this clause (d) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans.

(e) The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer, the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put the Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Lender and the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit the Lender and the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be.

Section 2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments

(b) If the then current Revolving Credit Commitments are greater than the applicable amounts set forth below, then such Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced

(b) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that the Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note payable to the Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to the Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Revolving Credit Note to the Lender evidencing the Revolving Loans of the Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving Credit Note).

Any such mandatory prepayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall be applied in accordance with clause (c) below.

(c) Any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in accordance with this clause (c) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and second, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(b) (Mandatory Prepayments), the Lender may, and, upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

The Borrower agrees that all such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit)) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

Section 2.12 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Lender is organized, (ii) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to the Lender, but not excluding any United States withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance), (iii) any other United States federal taxes and (iv) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12 the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (y) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender evidence of such payment.

(b) 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 imposed by any state, county, city or other political subdivision within the United States or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by the Lender and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender, at its address referred to in Section 12.7 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or the Lender hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Lender contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) On the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, each Non-U.S. Lender shall provide the Lender and the Borrower with two completed copies of: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form); (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form); (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption)(or successor form); or (iv) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption, as of the date of such Assignment and Acceptance, from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the Lender and the Borrower have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Lender or the Borrower shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender under this Section 2.12 to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amount would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this Section 2.12(f).

(g) If the Lender receives a refund or a credit in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has received an indemnification payment from the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has made any increased payment, pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Lender shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such refund or credit (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to such refund and not previously reimbursed) to the Borrower.

GUARANTY

The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations of the Borrower, whether executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrower, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower or (e) any payment made to the Lender in respect of the Obligations which the Lender repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not action is brought against any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof and any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrower remain unpaid; or

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements.

Section 10.5 Reliance

It is not necessary for the Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 10.6 Subordination

Any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to any Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Borrower; provided, however, that payment may be made by the Borrower on any such Indebtedness owing to such

Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the same is not prohibited by this Agreement; and provided, further, that, if the Lender so requests at a time when a Default or Event of Default exists, all such Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

Section 10.7 Waiver

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Lender to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable Requirements of Law), and may exercise any other right or remedy the Lender may have against the Borrower, any other guarantor, any other party or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, in each case except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Lender, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower, any other party or any security.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (i) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and (ii) agrees that the Lender shall have no duty to advise such Subsidiary Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

ARTICLE XI

SECURITY

Section 11.1 Security

(a) To induce the Lender to make the Loans, each Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the full, prompt and complete payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder, a continuing first-priority Lien and security interest (subject only to Liens permitted under Section 8.2(d) (Liens, Etc.)) in and to all Collateral of such Grantor wherever located, whether real, personal or mixed and whether now owned or hereafter acquired or adopted. “Collateral” means all of the property and assets of each Grantor and its estate, real and personal, tangible and intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located, including but not limited to:

(i) all Accounts;

(ii) all Chattel Paper;

(iii) all Deposit Accounts;

(iv) all Documents;

(v) all Equipment;

(vi) all General Intangibles;

(vii) all Instruments;

(viii) all Inventory;

(ix) all Investment Property;

(x) all Letter of Credit Rights;

(xi) all Real Property;

(xii) all Vehicles;

(xiii) the Commercial Tort Claims described on Schedule 11.1 (Commercial Tort Claims);

(xiv) all books and records pertaining to the property described in this Section 11.1 (Security);

(xv) all other goods and personal property of such Grantor, whether tangible or intangible, wherever located;

(xvi) all property of any Grantor held by the Lender or any Secured Party or Affiliate of the Lender or such Secured Party, including all property of every description, in the possession or custody of or in transit to the Lender or such Secured Party or Affiliate of the Lender or such Secured Party for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such Grantor, or as to which such Grantor may have any right or power;

(xviii) to the extent not otherwise included, all monies and other property of any kind received by any Grantor; and

(xix) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds;

provided, that the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Assets.

Section 11.2 Perfection of Security Interests

(a) Each Grantor shall, at its expense, perform any and all steps reasonably requested by the Lender at any time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral of such Grantor, including (i) executing and filing financing, in lieu or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, (ii) maintaining complete and accurate stock records, (iii) using its best efforts in delivering to the Lender negotiable warehouse receipts, if any, and, upon the Lender’s request therefor, non-negotiable warehouse receipts covering any portion of the Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are issued, (iv) placing notations on such Grantor’s books of account to disclose the Lender’s security interest therein, (v) delivering to the Lender all documents, certificates and Instruments necessary or desirable to perfect the Lender’s Lien in letters of credit on which such Grantor is named as beneficiary and all acceptances issued in connection therewith, (vi) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, transferring Inventory maintained in warehouses to other warehouses designated by the Lender and (vii) taking such other steps as are deemed necessary or desirable to maintain the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, including title insurance policies, current as built surveys, zoning letters and certificates of occupancy, as shall be requested by the Lender, in each case satisfactory to the Lender, in its sole discretion.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to execute and file financing, in lieu or continuation statements or other relevant filings and recordings on such Grantor’s behalf covering the Collateral. The Lender may file one or more financing or continuation statements or other relevant filings and recordings disclosing the Lender’s security interest under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the signature of such Grantor appearing thereon. Each Grantor shall pay the costs of, or incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other relevant filings and recordings concerning the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or of a financing or continuation statement is sufficient as such filing or recording. If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control

of any warehouseman, bailee or such Grantor’s agents or processors, such Grantor shall notify such warehouseman, bailee, agents or processors of the Lender’s security interest, which notification shall specify that such Person shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and hold all such Collateral for the Lender’s account subject to the Lender’s instructions. From time to time, each Grantor shall, upon the Lender’s request, execute and deliver written instruments pledging to the Lender the Collateral described in any such instruments or otherwise, but the failure of such Grantor to execute and deliver such confirmatory instruments shall not affect or limit the Lender’s security interest or other rights in and to the Collateral. Until all Obligations have been fully satisfied and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated, the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and all Proceeds and products thereof shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 11.3 Rights of Lender; Limitations on Lender’s Obligations

(a) It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under its Contractual Obligations to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither the Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Contractual Obligation by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the granting to the Lender of a security interest therein or the receipt by the Lender or any Lender of any payment relating to any Contractual Obligation pursuant hereto, nor shall the Lender be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contractual Obligation, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contractual Obligation, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(b) Subject to Section 11.5 (Performance by Lender of the Loan Parties’ Obligations), the Lender authorizes each Grantor to collect its Accounts; provided, however, that such collection shall be performed in accordance with such Grantor’s customary procedures, and the Lender may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default and without notice, limit or terminate said authority at any time.

(c) The Lender may at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, after first notifying the Borrower of its intention to do so, notify Account Debtors, notify the other parties to the Contractual Obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor, notify obligors of Instruments and Investment Property of the Borrower or any other Grantor and notify obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of the Borrower or any other Grantor that the right, title and interest of the Borrower or such Grantor in and under such Accounts, such Contractual Obligations, such Instruments, such Investment Property and such Chattel Paper have been assigned to the Lender and that payments shall be made directly to the Lender. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower or such other Grantor shall so notify such Account Debtors, such parties to Contractual Obligations, obligors of such Instruments and Investment Property and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender may in its own name, or in the name of others, communicate with such parties to such Accounts, Contractual Obligations, Instruments, Investment Property and Chattel Paper to verify with such Persons to the Lender’s reasonable satisfaction the

existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contractual Obligations, Instruments, Investment Property or Chattel Paper.

Section 11.4 Covenants of the Loan Parties with Respect to Collateral

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Obligations are fully satisfied:

(a) Maintenance of Records. Such Grantor shall keep and maintain, at its own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, in all material respects, including a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings concerning the Collateral. For the Lender’s further security, each Grantor agrees that the Lender shall have a property interest in all of such Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall deliver and turn over any such books and records to the Lender or to its representatives at any time on demand of the Lender.

(b) Indemnification With Respect to Collateral. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender relating to any Account, Chattel Paper, Contractual Obligation, General Intangible, Investment Property, Instrument, Intellectual Property or other Collateral for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision of any Account, Chattel Paper, Contractual Obligation, General Intangible, Investment Property, Instrument, Intellectual Property or other Collateral, such Grantor shall save, indemnify and keep the Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, and all such obligations of such Grantor shall be, and shall remain, enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this clause (b) to any Person with respect to any expense, loss or damage caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Grantor shall not create, permit or suffer to exist, shall defend the Collateral against and shall take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.), and such Grantor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Lender in and to all of such Grantor’s rights under the Accounts, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Leases, Real Property, Contractual Obligations, Documents, General Intangibles, Instruments, Investment Property, Letter of Credit Rights, Vehicles and Commercial Tort Claims and to the Intellectual Property, Equipment and Inventory and in and to the Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than claims or demands arising out of Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.).

(d) Limitations on Modifications of Accounts. Such Grantor shall not, without the Lender’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, Chattel Paper or Instruments, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof,

or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than any of the foregoing done in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices and trade discounts granted in the ordinary course of business of such Grantor.

(e) Notices. Such Grantor shall advise the Lender promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien asserted against any of the Collateral other than Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.) and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event that would result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereunder.

(f) Maintenance of Equipment. Such Grantor shall keep and maintain the Equipment in good operating condition sufficient for the continuation of the business conducted by such Grantor on a basis consistent with past practices, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(g) Pledged Collateral.

(i) Upon request of the Lender, such Grantor shall (x) deliver to the Lender, all certificates and Instruments representing or evidencing any Additional Pledged Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, accompanied by such Grantor’s endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, together with a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Grantor, in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Pledge Amendment) (a “Pledge Amendment”), in respect of such Additional Pledged Collateral and authorizes the Lender to attach each such Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and (y) maintain all other Pledged Collateral constituting Investment Property in a control account subject to an effective control agreement in favor of the Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. The Lender shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to such Grantor, to transfer to or to register in its name or in the name of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral. The Lender shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any of the Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(ii) Except as provided in Section 11.7 (Remedies; Rights Upon Default), such Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral (other than liquidating or distributing dividends with respect to the Pledged Collateral). Any sums paid upon or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any of the Pledged Collateral, any distribution of capital made on or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or any property distributed upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer of Pledged Collateral or pursuant to the reorganization thereof shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Lender, be delivered to the Lender to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Lender, hold such money or property in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional security for the Obligations.

(iii) Except as provided in Section 11.7 (Remedies; Rights Upon Default), such Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting, consent and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, consent given or right exercised or other action taken by such Grantor that would impair the Collateral or that otherwise would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, without prior notice to the Lender, to enable or take any other action to permit any issuer of Pledged Collateral to issue any Stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Stock or other equity securities of any nature of any issuer of Pledged Collateral.

(iv) Such Grantor shall not agree to any amendment of an LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement that in any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Lender in the Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder, including any amendment electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest of such Grantor as a Security.

(h) Intellectual Property. Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency within or outside the United States, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Lender within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Lender, such Grantor shall execute, deliver and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the Lender’s security interest in any Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

Section 11.5 Performance by Lender of the Loan Parties’ Obligations

If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the Revolving Loans, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance of such Grantor’s obligations as permitted under this Section 11.5 shall in no way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each Grantor hereby waives applicability thereof. Moreover, the Lender shall in no way be responsible for the payment of any costs incurred in connection with preserving or disposing of Collateral pursuant to clause (c) of Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Collateral may not be charged for the incurrence of any such cost.

Section 11.6 Limitation on Lender’s Duty in Respect of Collateral

The Lender shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Lender shall, with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control, deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account.

Upon request of the Borrower, the Lender shall account for any moneys received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral of any Grantor.

Section 11.7 Remedies; Rights Upon Default

(a) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, during any such occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices at it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Each Grantor further agrees that, during any such occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, at the Lender’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (net of all expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including attorney’s fees and expenses), to the Obligations in any order deemed appropriate by the Lender, such Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. Each Grantor agrees that the Lender need not give more than ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to the Borrower at its address referred to in Section 12.7 (Notices, Etc.)) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Lender is entitled, the Grantors also being liable for the fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

(b) Each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Lender shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (A) the Lender shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth herein and (B) the Lender or its nominee may exercise (1) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (2) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(ii) In order to permit the Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (A) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Lender all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request and (B) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Lender an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations.

(iii) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (A) comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that (1) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (B) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Lender.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance

shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral.

Section 11.8 The Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its and its Subsidiaries true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or in its own name, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action, and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary and desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby give the Lender the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the following upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor, its own name or otherwise, to take possession of, and endorse and collect, any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due and to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct, (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral, (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor, (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate, (G) to license or, to the extent permitted by an applicable license, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Trademarks,

throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Lender shall in its sole discretion determine and (H) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Lender’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things the Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s Lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) The Lender agrees that it will forbear from exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Lender pursuant to this Section 11.8, except upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an Event of Default. The Grantors hereby ratify, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 11.8 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

(c) The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) to communicate in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to any Contractual Obligation with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contractual Obligations hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

(a) The Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans, and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) any such assignment shall cover the same percentage of the Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Lender, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Revolving Credit Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Lender shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.7 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (b) above, the Loans (including the Revolving Credit Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Revolving Credit Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Revolving Credit Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 12.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the Lender shall act as the Borrower’s agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in the Register.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Lender shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Lender, new Revolving Credit Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Revolving Credit Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, new Revolving Credit Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Credit Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving Credit Note).

Section 12.3 Costs and Expenses

(a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all of the Lender’s reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Lender’s counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Lender in connection with any of the following: (i) the Lender’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or Lender’s periodic audits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit)), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Lender’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the

Obligations, any Loan Party, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Lender is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Lender is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Lender in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

Section 12.4 Indemnities

(a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, and each of its respective Affiliates (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, representative, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit)) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 12.4 to an Indemnitee (i) with respect to any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, or (ii) with respect to taxes (and amounts relating thereto), the indemnification for which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.12 (Taxes).

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, for, and hold the Lender, harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Lender, for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrower’s choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower shall promptly do so, and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, or litigation or proceeding, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d) The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 12.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 12.5 Limitation of Liability

The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 12.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Lender 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 Indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender or its Affiliates (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing, whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Lender or its Affiliates (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section 12.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that the Lender may have.

Section 12.17 Confidentiality

(a) The Borrower and the Lender hereby agree that each of the Borrower and the Lender (and each of their respective, and their respective affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with respect to the Facility, permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the structure and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Facility, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to the Borrower or the Lender related to such structure and tax aspects.

structure or tax aspects of the Facility by the Borrower or the Lender is limited by any existing agreement between the Borrower and the Lender, such limitation is agreed to be void ab initio and such agreement is hereby amended to permit disclosure of the structure and tax aspects of the Facility as provided in this paragraph (a).

(b) Subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 12.17, the Lender may not disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Borrower furnished to the Lender by the Borrower (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that the Lender may disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) 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 hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.17, to any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) to the extent such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.17 by the Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and (viii) with the written consent of the Borrower.
