severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and Lender and hold each Agent and Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against any Agent or Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Lenders relying on any instructions or other actions of Administrative Borrower, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent or Lender under this Section 1.4 with respect to any liability that has resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or Lender, as the case may be.

SECTION 2. TERM LOANS

2.1 Term Loans.

(a) Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, on a Business Day on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date (which such Business Day shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), a Term Loan to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Borrowers may make only one borrowing under the Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Funding Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (i) the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Funding Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, on such date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans.

(i) Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Funding Date with respect to Term Loans made on the Funding Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable when given, and Administrative Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Administrative Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Administrative Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from Administrative Borrower to Administrative Agent), it being understood that no Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be obligated in any manner with respect to the funding of any Loan in the absence of the receipt by Administrative Agent of a completed and executed Funding Notice. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of Administrative Borrower until Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Funding Notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan (less the amount to be deducted from such proceeds pursuant to Section 2.9(b)) available to Administrative Agent

not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date, by wire transfer of same-day funds in Dollars, to Administrative Agent’s Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds of the Term Loan available on the Funding Date by causing an amount of same-day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all Term Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders (less the aggregate amount of the deductions referred to in the preceding sentence) to be credited to the Proceeds Collateral Account (or, to the extent provided in Section 2.4(e), the Tender Offer Account). Once credited to the Proceeds Collateral Account, the funds in the Proceeds Collateral Account shall be available in accordance with Section 2.4.

2.2 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested to be delivered on the Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on the Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Proceeds Collateral Account a corresponding amount on the Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Administrative Borrowers and Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Loans without any Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Premium. In the event that any Lender defaults or indicates its intent to default in its obligation to make a Loan hereunder on the Funding Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.21, either (1) Administrative Borrower, by giving written to notice to Administrative Agent and such Lender of its election to do so, or (2) Administrative Agent, by giving written to notice to Administrative Borrower and such Lender of its election to do so, shall be entitled (but not obligated) (x) to elect to cause such Lender (and such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its Commitments in full to one or more Eligible Assignees in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and (y) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of such Lender (and such execution shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6), and such Lender or the Borrower,

at its election, shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any such election by Administrative Borrower to cause such Commitments to be assigned to any Eligible Assignee referred to in clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such Eligible Assignee shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) in the case of any such election by Administrative Agent to cause such Commitments to be assigned to any Eligible Assignee referred to in clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such Eligible Assignee shall be acceptable to Administrative Borrower, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit any rights or remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or applicable law. Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder or to constitute a waiver of the condition set forth in Section 3.2 that no Lender shall be obligated to fund its Commitment on the Funding Date unless all Lenders fund their respective Commitments on the Funding Date.

2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be deposited into the Proceeds Collateral Account (or, to the extent provided in Section 2.4(e), the Tender Offer Account) on the Funding Date to be held and used in accordance with Section 2.4. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan shall be used to purchase, directly or indirectly, any Margin Stock in any manner that causes or might cause such Loan or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.4 Proceeds Collateral Account. (a) Deposit of Proceeds into Proceeds Collateral Account. Prior to the time of the funding of the Term Loans on the Funding Date, Holdings shall deposit into the Proceeds Collateral Account (or, to the extent provided in Section 2.4(e), the Tender Offer Account) additional Unrestricted Cash of Holdings such that, immediately after giving effect thereto and to the deposit therein of the proceeds of the Initial Financing contemplated by Section 3.2(i), the aggregate amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Proceeds Collateral Account and the Tender Offer Account (after giving effect to the deposit of the proceeds of the Initial Financing) shall be at least equal to the accreted principal amount of all outstanding Existing Convertible Notes as of the date on which Holdings reasonably expects to be obligated to repay them (the “Accreted Amount”). To the extent that the Proceeds Collateral Bank allows funds in the Proceeds Collateral Account to be invested in Cash Equivalents, then so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Vonage America may request Administrative Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to invest the funds in the Proceeds Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents as Vonage America may from time to time direct and as approved by Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole right, but shall not be obligated, to cause the funds in the Proceeds Collateral Account to be invested in such Cash Equivalents as Administrative Agent may from time to time direct.

(b) Control of Proceeds Collateral Account. The Proceeds Collateral Account shall be subject to a First Priority Lien in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent shall maintain exclusive control over the Proceeds Collateral

Account at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, (A) Vonage America shall have the right, from time to time but no more frequently than once each calendar month (unless Administrative Agent agrees to greater frequency), to request Collateral Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to transfer to the account specified by Vonage America in such request any interest and earnings on funds held in the Proceeds Collateral Account that have been credited to the Proceeds Collateral Account (each such transfer, an “Interest and Earnings Withdrawal” or a Withdrawal (as defined below)) as long as, both before and after giving effect to such Withdrawal, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Proceeds Collateral Account exceeds the Accreted Amount remaining as of such date and (B) Vonage America, subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, shall be permitted to request Collateral Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to transfer to the account specified by Vonage America in such request funds from the Proceeds Collateral Account from time to time for the sole purpose of making a subordinated loan to Holdings (each such transfer, a “Subordinated Loan Withdrawal” or a Withdrawal) pursuant to one or more subordinated notes substantially in the form of Exhibit N (each a “Proceeds Note” and collectively, the “Proceeds Notes”) to enable Holdings to purchase the Existing Convertible Notes that have been tendered in the Tender Offer (the “Tendered Notes”) or otherwise to redeem, repurchase or repay the Existing Convertible Notes at or below the face amount thereof (provided that, in each case, such purchased, redeemed, repurchased or repaid Existing Convertible Notes are cancelled in full immediately thereafter) and for no other purpose so long as, both before and after giving effect to such Withdrawal, (i) no Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(a), (d), (f), (g), (i), (j)(ii) or (l) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) with respect to any breach in any material respect of any of the provisions set forth in Sections 5 and 6, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In addition, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, on or after the ninety-fifth (95th) day after the date on which Holdings has repaid in full all Existing Convertible Notes that have exercised their right to be repaid on December 16, 2008 under the terms of such notes, Vonage America may request Collateral Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to transfer to the account specified by Vonage America in such request all remaining proceeds in the Proceeds Collateral Account (such transfer, a “Remaining Proceeds Withdrawal” or a Withdrawal), which shall be released to Vonage America without warranty of any kind; provided that Vonage America shall be prohibited from making a Remaining Proceeds Withdrawal if the aggregate then-accreted principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes that are outstanding on such 95th day equals or exceeds $5,000,000. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may apply any and all amounts on deposit in the Proceeds Collateral Account to prepay the Loans and to pay any other Obligations in any order or manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable. No third party shall have any rights in or claims to the Proceeds Collateral Account, except (i) Permitted Depository Claims or (ii) pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein.

(c) Withdrawal Mechanics. The following procedures shall apply to any request from Vonage America to Collateral Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to transfer funds from the Proceeds Collateral Account as contemplated by clause (b) above (each such transfer shall be referred to generally as a “Withdrawal,” and the date on which such Withdrawal occurs, a “Withdrawal Date”).

(i) A Subordinated Loan Withdrawal shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 unless Administrative Agent otherwise agrees.

(ii) To request a Withdrawal, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully completed and executed Withdrawal Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Withdrawal Date; provided, that in connection with any Withdrawal being made on the Funding Date, such Withdrawal Notice shall be given at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such Withdrawal. Except for any Withdrawal Notice given in connection with a Withdrawal being made on the Funding Date, any Withdrawal Notice shall be irrevocable when given unless Administrative Agent otherwise agrees (such agreement not be unreasonably withheld). Administrative Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Administrative Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from such Borrower to Administrative Agent). Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Withdrawal on behalf of such Borrower unless Administrative Agent receives written notice from Administrative Borrower to the contrary. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Withdrawal Notice.

(iii) Notice of receipt of each Withdrawal Notice shall be provided by Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender with reasonable promptness.

(iv) Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in this Section 2.4 with respect to a Withdrawal, Collateral Agent shall issue instructions to the Proceeds Collateral Bank to effect such Withdrawal in the amount and to the account specified in the applicable Withdrawal Notice.

(d) Conditions to Withdrawals. Each Borrower’s right to request Withdrawals and to have instructions issued to the Proceeds Collateral Bank as contemplated by Section 2.4(c)(iv) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with Section 10.5 of the following conditions precedent (and the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.4):

(i) Administrative Agent shall have received a fully completed and executed Withdrawal Notice;

(ii) in respect of a Withdrawal for purposes of making a subordinated loan to Holdings, an Authorized Officer of Vonage America shall have delivered to Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the proceeds of the proposed Withdrawal shall be used by Vonage America to make a subordinated loan to Holdings in the form of one or more Proceeds Notes to enable Holdings to redeem, repurchase or repay the Existing Convertible Notes at or below the face amount thereof and for no other purpose and that such Existing Convertible Notes will be immediately cancelled upon their repurchase by Holdings; and

(iii) Administrative Agent shall have received prior to any Withdrawal, an officer’s certificate certifying that all of the conditions to such Withdrawal contained in this Section 2.4 have been met (it being understood that if both this clause (iii) and clause (ii) above are applicable to the same Withdrawal, a single officer’s certificate containing the certifications required by both clauses may be delivered).

(e) Tender Offer Account. In order to facilitate satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 3.2(j) that the purchase of the Tendered Notes in the Tender Offer be completed concurrently with the funding of the Term Loans on the Funding Date, Administrative Agent shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to make alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Vonage America to cause some or all of the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into the Proceeds Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and 3.2(i) and then withdrawn in a Subordinated Loan Withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.4(b) for the purpose of purchasing Tendered Notes in the Tender Offer to instead be paid directly to the paying agent for the Tender Offer to be deposited into an account of the paying agent to be used to purchase Tendered Notes (the “Tender Offer Account”). The amount of any such direct deposit shall be deemed to have been first deposited with Vonage America and then withdrawn by Vonage America to make a subordinated loan to Holdings which shall be evidenced by a Proceeds Note. Such deemed withdrawal shall be subject to the same conditions as Subordinated Loan Withdrawals are subject to except to the extent otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Upon such purchase, such Tendered Notes shall be cancelled in full immediately thereafter.

2.5 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the Obligations of Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Commitments and the Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, and a redacted version of the Register showing the entries with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrowers hereby designate the entity serving as Administrative Agent to serve as Borrowers’ agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.5, and Borrowers hereby agree that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6), promptly after Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan.

2.6 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be selected by Administrative Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c) In connection with LIBOR Rate Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Administrative Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Administrative Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) shall be computed (i) in respect to Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Prime Rate, on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in respect to all other Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first

day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same-day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears in cash on (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of such Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) on the Maturity Date.

2.7 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.16 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, in the case of a conversion into a LIBOR Rate Loan or the continuance of a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan equal to $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless Borrowers shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.16 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

(b) Administrative Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrowers shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

2.8 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans or any overdue fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws, whether or not allowed in such a proceeding) payable on demand at a rate that is three percent (3.0%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is three percent (3.0%) per annum in excess of the

interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such LIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is three percent (3.0%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.8 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.9 Fees. (a) Borrowers agree to pay to Agents for their own account all fees specified in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein and to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

(b) Borrowers agree to pay on the Funding Date to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Loan Lenders a fee in an aggregate amount equal to 5.5% of $130,300,000, which shall be payable by deducting the amount thereof from the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Term Loans that would otherwise be made available to Borrowers on the Funding Date.

(c) Borrowers agree to pay a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments for the number of days in the period from and including October 10, 2008 up to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the Outside Date, computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during the period in which they accrue. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the Outside Date. In the event that the Funding Date does not occur on or before the Outside Date because a Defaulting Lender (unless such Defaulting Lender is Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, any Majority-Owned Affiliate of his or any NEA Related Fund) fails to fund when all other conditions to funding listed in Section 3.2 have been or will concurrently be satisfied, then the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Commitment Fee to any Lender.

(d) The Borrowers agree that, once paid, the fees payable to the Lenders (other than those fees paid to any Defaulting Lender) pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby acknowledge that all fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.9 are fully earned as of the Funding Date (or, in the case of the Commitment Fee if the Funding Date has not occurred, the Outside Date).

2.10 Scheduled Installments. The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each such installment, together with the payments due on the Maturity Date, an “Installment”) in the aggregate amounts set forth below on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Installment Date”), commencing December 31, 2008:


Fiscal Quarter	Loan Installments
4th Quarter 2008	$	325,750


Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx	Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx

2nd Quarter 2011	$	325,750
3rd Quarter 2011	$	325,750

4th Quarter 2012	$	3,257,500
1st Quarter 2013	$	3,257,500
2nd Quarter 2013	$	3,257,500
0xx Xxxxxxx 0000	$	3,257,500

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

2.11 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Any time and from time to time:

(i) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrowers may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; and

(ii) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowers may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.16(c)) in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) All such prepayments shall be made:

(i) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans.

in each case given by Administrative Borrower to Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.13(a).

2.12 Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a) Asset Sales. No later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds in excess of those referred to in the last sentence of this Section 2.12(a) do not exceed $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Guarantor Subsidiaries (other than the UK Subsidiary), to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt thereof in long term productive assets of the general type used in the business of Borrowers and their Guarantor Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be required to make the prepayments otherwise required under such Sections with the first $250,000 in the aggregate from the aggregate amount of Net Asset Sale Proceeds and Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds received by Holdings and its Subsidiaries in any Fiscal Year.

(b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds from the Effective Date through the applicable date of determination in excess of those referred to in the last sentence of Section 2.12(a) do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate, Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Guarantor Subsidiaries (other than the UK Subsidiary) to invest (or if such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are received by the UK Subsidiary or by a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall have the option to invest) such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt thereof in the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof (or, in the case of “key man” insurance proceeds, to reinvest a reasonable amount in the search for a replacement).

(c) Issuance of Equity Securities. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt by Holdings of any Cash proceeds from a capital contribution to, or the issuance of any Capital Stock of, Holdings (other than Capital Stock issued pursuant to any employee stock or stock option compensation plan), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the applicable Equity

Proceeds Prepayment Percentage of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (such net amount, the “Net Equity Proceeds”).

(d) Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (such net amount, the “Net Debt Proceeds”).

(e) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.

(i) In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Quarter, Borrowers shall, no later than forty-eight (48) days after the end of such Fiscal Quarter (or, in the case of the fourth Fiscal Quarter in any Fiscal Year only, no later than seventy-eight (78) days after the end of such fourth Fiscal Quarter), prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided that prior to the first day occurring on or after January 1, 2009 on which Holdings and its Subsidiaries have more than $75,000,000 of Unrestricted Cash, Borrowers shall not be required to make prepayments pursuant to this clause (e). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the first Fiscal Quarter commencing on or after January 1, 2009 during which there occurs the first day on which Holdings and its Subsidiaries have more than $75,000,000 of Unrestricted Cash and for each Fiscal Quarter thereafter (whether or not Holdings and its Subsidiaries continue to have more than $75,000,000 of Unrestricted Cash), Borrowers shall be required to make prepayments pursuant to this clause (e) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter.

(ii) In connection with the delivery of the audited financial statements with respect to any applicable Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 5.1(c), the Administrative Borrower shall recalculate the Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the four Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year and provide to Administrative Agent a revised prepayment certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for such four Fiscal Quarters prepared in accordance with Section 2.12(g). If such recalculated amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow of the Borrowers for such Fiscal Year (based on the audited annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c)) (the “Recalculated ECF”) is greater than the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow reported for the four Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year as determined by the Borrowers in accordance with subclause (i) of this clause (e) (such excess, the “ECF Surplus Amount”), the Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, pay to the Lenders an amount equal to 50% of the ECF Surplus Amount in accordance with Section 2.13(b). If the Recalculated ECF is less than the aggregate amount of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for the four Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year as determined by the Borrowers in accordance with subclause (i) of this clause (e) (such excess, the “ECF Shortfall Amount”), an amount equal to 50% of such ECF Shortfall Amount shall be credited against any payments owed by the Borrowers to the Lenders for the first Fiscal

Quarter for which the payment under subclause (i) of this clause (e) has not yet been made (which may include the payment for the fourth Fiscal Quarter in any Fiscal Year if the audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c) prior to the date on which such payment is due under subclause (i) of this clause (e)) and in each subsequent Fiscal Quarter thereafter until the ECF Shortfall Amount shall be equal to $0; provided, that such credit shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount, if any, required to be prepaid by the Borrower to the Lenders for the preceding four fiscal quarters pursuant to Section 2.12(e)(i) that were not so prepaid.

(f) Extraordinary Receipts. No later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to such Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

(g) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Sections 2.12(a)-(f), Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow or other applicable financial tests or proceeds giving rise to the prepayment, as the case may be. In the event that any Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to such excess, and Administrative Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

2.13 Application of Prepayments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. Any voluntary prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the outstanding Loans.

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any mandatory prepayment of any Loan or Commitment reduction pursuant to Section 2.12 and any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment shall be applied as follows:

first, to the payment of all expenses and fees then due and payable to Agents or Lenders to the full extent thereof;

second, to the payment of any accrued interest on the amount being prepaid at the Default Rate, if any;

third, to the payment of the Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Loan arising as a result of the prepayment of principal or Commitment reduction pursuant to clause “fifth” below;

fourth, to the payment of any accrued interest on the amount being prepaid (other than that calculated at the Default Rate and paid in clause “second” above); and

fifth, to prepay Loans or, prior to the Funding Date, to reduce Commitments on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) in an aggregate amount equal to the Remaining Proceeds (as defined in the next sentence) and shall be further applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Loans.

For purposes of clause “fifth” above, the “Remaining Proceeds” shall mean (i) with respect to any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds, Net Debt Proceeds, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, ECF Surplus Amount or Extraordinary Receipts, as applicable, required to be applied to make such mandatory prepayment over (y) the amount, if any, required to be applied pursuant to clause “first” and “third” above as a result of such prepayment or Commitment reduction, and (ii) with respect to any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment, an amount equal to such Preliminary IP Event Prepayment.

(c) Waiver of Certain Prepayments. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Borrowers are required to make any mandatory prepayment or any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment (each, a “Waivable Prepayment”), not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date for such Waivable Prepayment, Administrative Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Prepayment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Prepayment, which amount shall (i) first, be applied in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(b)), (ii) second, to the extent of the remaining portion of such Waivable Prepayment after the application of clause (i), be offered to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (with such Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with that portion of the Waivable Prepayment payable at the time and in the manner specified by Administrative Agent) and (iii) third, to the extent of any excess portion of the Waivable Prepayment remaining after the application of clauses (i) and (ii), be applied in accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.12 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

(d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans. Any prepayment of the Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.16(c).

2.14 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments made by Borrowers of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same-day funds, without, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or other defense free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due to Administrative Agent’s Account for the account of Lenders or Administrative Agent, as applicable; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrowers on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid and any Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount as applicable payable in connection therewith.

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees (including any Commitment Fee) hereunder.

(f) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers hereunder that is not made in same-day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a nonconforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a nonconforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.8 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and any remedy shall have been exercised pursuant to Section 8, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied first, to pay any costs and expenses then due Collateral Agent in connection with the foreclosure or realization upon, the disposal, storage, maintenance or otherwise dealing with any of, the Collateral or otherwise, and indemnities and other amounts then due to Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in

full, second, to pay any costs, expenses, indemnities, fees or premiums then due to Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in full, third, ratably to pay any expenses or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Credit Documents, until paid in full, fourth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Loans until paid in full, fifth, ratably to pay any Prepayment Premium and Make-Whole Amount then due to the Lenders under the Credit Documents until paid in full, and sixth, ratably to pay the principal amount of all Loans (applied to installments due thereunder in the inverse order of maturity) then outstanding until paid in full.

(h) Call Protection.

(i) If, on or prior to November 30, 2011 (the “Make-Whole Expiry Date”) either (A) a Borrower prepays, for any reason (including any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 (c) and (d), or if such payment is made voluntarily, whether as a result of an acceleration following an Event of Default, pursuant to Section 8.1(h)(B) or otherwise, but excluding Section 2.12 (a), (b), (e) and (f), excluding any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment and excluding any scheduled payment of an Installment pursuant to Section 2.10) all or any part of the principal balance of any Loan or (B) prior the Funding Date, any Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.12, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment or reduction, an amount equal to the greater of (x) the principal amount of Loans so repaid, prepaid or reduced times 101% and (y) an amount equal to the sum of the present value at such time of (i) all interest payments or accrued interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of the Loans or Commitments repaid, prepaid or reduced from the Prepayment Date through to the Make-Whole Expiry Date plus (ii) the Prepayment Premium that would be applicable if such prepayment, repayment or reduction were to occur on the day after the Make-Whole Expiry Date plus (iii) the principal amount of Loans or Commitments so repaid, prepaid or reduced as if such prepayment, repayment or reduction, as the case may be, had occurred on the Make-Whole Expiry Date, in each case, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of the Business Day immediately preceding the prepayment date plus 100 basis points (the “Make-Whole Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Make-Whole Amount is payable for the termination of the Commitments in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.1(a), as a result of the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date or as a result of the termination of the Commitments prior to the Funding Date pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.1. For purposes of this calculation (I) such interest payment or accrued interest shall be projected by using the interest rate then in effect (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 2.8) from the date of prepayment or repayment through the Make-Whole Expiry Date and (II) in the case of a reduction of Commitments such interest payments or accrued interest shall be projected assuming that the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is equal to the principal amount of the Commitments so reduced and the interest rate that would have been applicable if such Term Loans were made on the Prepayment Date.

(ii) At any time after the Make-Whole Expiry Date, if a Borrower prepays, for any reason (including any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 (but excluding Section 2.12(e) and any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment) or if such payment is made voluntarily, whether as a result of acceleration following an Event of Default, pursuant

to Section 8.1(h) or otherwise) all or any part of the principal balance of any Loan, Borrowers shall pay the applicable Prepayment Premium to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment.

(iii) At any time prior to the Make-Whole Expiry Date, if a Borrower prepays pursuant to Section 2.12 (a), (b) or (f), all or any part of the principal balance of any Loan or Commitments are reduced pursuant to any such Section, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment or Commitment reduction, the applicable Prepayment Premium. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium is payable for the termination of the Commitments in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.1(a), as a result of the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date or as a result of the termination of the Commitments prior to the Funding Date pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.1.

2.15 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, (x) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, those purchases to that extent shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (y) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender from any assignee or participant as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to such assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiaries thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall apply). Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by any Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.16 Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Administrative and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Administrative Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be converted into a Funding Note or Conversion/Continuation Notice for Base Rate Loans by Administrative Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Borrowers pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the amount so converted and all amounts due under Section 2.16(c) in accordance with the terms thereof due to such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Borrowers pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.16(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly

transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.16(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment (including any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment) or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Administrative Borrower.

(d) Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.16 and under Section 2.17 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.16 and under Section 2.17.

2.17 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after

the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the Overall Net Income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.17(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the relevant Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Effective Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Commitments, Loans or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Administrative Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling

corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.17(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.18 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other taxing jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party, excluding, in the case of Administrative Agent and each such Lender, any Tax on the Overall Net Income of each such Person and any Tax Related Person.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Administrative Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall pay such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after any such deduction or withholding, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and each of their Tax Related Persons receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after making any such deduction or withholding, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of Administrative Agent and each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction or withholding shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction or withholding from that duly established to be in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement in respect of relevant payments to such Person.

(c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Credit Parties shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The Credit Parties shall deliver to Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification. The Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid or incurred by such Agent or such Lender or their respective Tax Related Persons, as the case may be, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Credit Document or any payment or

transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section 2.18; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Agents, Lenders and Participants for (i) any Taxes that would be excluded from a gross-up under Section 2.18(b), (ii) in duplication of Taxes covered by Sections 2.18(b) or (c) or (iii) Taxes on the Overall Net Income, other than in the case of (A) any matters addressed in Section 2.18(c) and any indemnification thereof and (B) any payments of expenses and costs made pursuant to this Section 2.18(d), in which instances any such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax basis, such that after all required deductions and payments of all Taxes (including Taxes on the Overall Net Income applicable to amounts covered by this Section 2.18(d)(iii)(A) or (B), the Agents, the Lenders and each of their respective Tax Related Persons receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had it not paid or incurred or been subject to such Taxes or expenses and costs. A certificate from the relevant Lender or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Borrower in taking such actions as may be reasonably requested of it to pursue from the relevant Governmental Authority all available means for obtaining a refund for the benefit of the Administrative Borrower of any Taxes that have been the subject of an indemnification payment hereunder; provided, that (i) the Administrative Borrower has agreed in writing to pay all of such Agent’s or such Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such claim, (ii) such Agent or such Lender determines, in its good faith judgment, that it would not be disadvantaged, unduly burdened, or prejudiced as a result of such actions and (iii) the Administrative Borrower furnishes, upon request of such Agent or such Lender, an opinion of tax counsel (such opinion and such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to such Agent or such Lender) to the effect that such Taxes were wrongly or illegally imposed.

(e) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Administrative Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower to establish that any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts under any of the Credit Documents are not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or are subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable

under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Administrative Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender under Section 2.18(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.18(e) that it is legally entitled to deliver; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.18(e) on the Effective Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.18(e) shall relieve Borrowers of their obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.18 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall be construed to require a Lender, Agent or Participant to provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

2.19 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Term Loans, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) 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 Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.19 unless Borrowers agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.19 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan (a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents and shall not be entitled to receive or retain any Commitment Fee that is payable to or for the account of such Lender; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the outstanding Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b) shall be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) based on each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.20, performance by Borrowers of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.20. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.21 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Administrative Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Administrative Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Administrative Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Administrative Agent shall be

entitled (but not obligated) (which, in the case of an Increased Cost Lender, only after receiving written request from Administrative Borrower to remove such Increased Cost Lender (which notice may not be given by the Administrative Borrower if any Default or Event of Default is then continuing)), by giving written notice to Administrative Borrower and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, (x) to elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and (y) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of such Terminated Lender (and the execution thereof by Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) and the Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.9; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrowers shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the assumption by the Replacement Lender of such Terminated Lender’s Commitment, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Replacement Lender shall cure any existing Funding Default of the applicable Defaulting Lender.

2.22 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.22), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) Each of the Borrowers agrees that the Obligations of such Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.22 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse

Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.22, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.22, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.22 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.22 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) Each Borrower waives to the fullest extent permitted by law all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower:

(h) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by the Collateral. This means, among other things:

(i) The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on the Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

(ii) If either the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender forecloses on any Collateral pledged by Borrowers:

(A) The amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B) The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, by foreclosing on the Collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Collateral.

(i) The provisions of this Section 2.22 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective successors or assigns, first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.22 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(j) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Documents is hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation

as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

(k) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations on the terms of the Intercompany Subordination Agreement. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall, to the extent required by the Intercompany Subordination Agreement, be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.13.

2.23 Restrictions on Lender Transfers of Capital Stock of Holdings. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees that it will not effect, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to effect, any Stock Disposition until on or after the later of (x) the first date on which the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has become effective and (y) the First Unrestricted Day.

4.7 Historical Financial Statements. The annual and quarterly Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial

statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year end adjustments. As of the Effective Date, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

For the avoidance of any doubt, it is understood that the information contained in the Historical Financial Statements delivered by Holdings to the Administrative Agent on or before September 15, 2008 shall not, in and of itself, form the basis for a determination by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that the representation set forth in this Section 4.9 is not correct.

4.10 No Restricted Junior Payments. Since June 30, 2008, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any Restricted Junior Payment or agreed to do so except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.4.

4.11 Adverse Proceedings, etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings (including any that are set forth on Schedule 4.11), individually or in the aggregate, that (a) relate to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.12 Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.3, all federal and other material tax returns and reports of Holdings and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all federal and other material taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable have been paid prior to delinquency and all federal and other material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Holdings and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid before the same have become delinquent, except those which are being contested by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

4.13 Properties.

(a) Title. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries owns real property. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has (i) a good and marketable leasehold interest in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property), and (ii) good title to (in the case of all other personal property), all of their respective properties and assets reflected in their respective Historical Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.7 and in the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8. All such properties and assets (i) are in working order and condition in all material respects, ordinary wear and tear excepted and (ii) are free and clear of Liens, except as permitted by this Agreement and (iii) constitute all of the material property which is required for the business and operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted.

(b) Real Estate. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 4.13 contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets, and (ii) all leases, subleases or assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting each Real Estate Asset of any Credit Party (individually, a “Lease” and collectively, the “Leases”), regardless of whether such Credit Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment, and the termination date and annual base rent under each of them. Each of the Leases is in full force and effect and no default has occurred and is continuing thereunder. Each Lease constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles. To the best knowledge of each Credit Party, no other party to any Lease is in material default of its obligations thereunder, and no Credit Party (or any other party to any Lease) has at any time delivered or received any material notice of default which remains uncured under any Lease and, as of the Effective Date, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default under any Lease.

(c) The Holmdel Lease is not subordinate to the JPM Mortgage. The commencement date of the Holmdel Lease is March 30, 2005. To the knowledge of the Borrowers, the fixed rent monthly payments under the Holmdel Lease are sufficient to pay the debt service payments under the JPM Mortgage.

Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (i) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity; (ii) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law; (iii) there are and, to each of Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge,

have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260 270 or any state equivalent; (v) compliance with all current requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws would not be reasonably expected to result in increased costs or reduced operations; and (vi) no event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which would reasonably be expected to result in liability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.15 No Defaults. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.16 Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts in effect on the Effective Date. All such Material Contracts, together with any updates provided pursuant to Section 5.1(l), are in full force and effect, no noticed defaults which could give rise to a termination right if not timely cured in accordance with the relevant contracts currently exist thereunder (other than as described in Schedule 4.16 or in such updates) and to the knowledge of any Credit Party, there is no other material default under any Material Contract as of the date of this Agreement.

4.17 Governmental Regulation. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.18 Margin Stock. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

4.19 Employee Matters. Holdings, its Subsidiaries, and their respective employees, agents and representatives have not committed any material unfair labor practice as defined in the National Labor Relations Act. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has been

or is engaged in any unfair labor practice that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been and is (a) no unfair labor practice charge or complaint pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board or any other Governmental Authority and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement or similar agreement that is so pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, threatened against any of them, (b) no labor dispute, strike, lockout, slowdown or work stoppage in existence or threatened against, involving or affecting Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) no labor union, labor organization, trade union, works council, or group of employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has made a pending demand for recognition or certification, and there are no representation or certification proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding presently pending or threatened to be brought or filed with the National Labor Relations Board or any other Governmental Authority, and (d) to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, no union representation question existing with respect to any of the employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, no labor union organizing activity with respect to any employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.20 Employee Benefit Plans. Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Pension Plan. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, and except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, or otherwise funded entirely by the participants thereof, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Holdings, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of

Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete or partial withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, Holdings, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.24 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with its organizational documents and all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), except such non compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.25 Disclosure. The representations and warranties of any Credit Party contained in the Credit Documents and the reports, financial statements or other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to any Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrowers to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Credit Party is subject and there are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to any Borrower (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a

Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.26 Terrorism Laws and FCPA. Each Credit Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Terrorism Laws. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

The properties of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries are adequately insured with financially sound and reputable insurers and in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks and otherwise on terms and conditions as are customarily carried or maintained by Persons of established reputation of similar size and engaged in similar businesses and such insurance complies with the requirements of Section 5.5. Schedule 4.27 sets forth a list of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date and, as of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid.

4.28 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties (except (x) for Liens that are not required to be perfected as of the date this representation is made pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents and (y) to the extent that the UCC financing statements are to be filed by the Collateral Agent and have not been filed as of any date that this representation is made (in which case such Liens shall be perfected upon such filing)), and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens, to the extent any such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any applicable law, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Collateral Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) Liens permitted under Section 6.2(l) and (m).

4.29 Affiliate Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.29, and except to the extent that any Person referred to in this Section 4.29 is a party to any of the Credit Documents, Second Lien Credit Documents or Third Lien Documents, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are no existing or proposed agreements, arrangements, understandings, or transactions between any Credit Party and any of the officers, members, managers or directors of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any Affiliate of any of such officers, members, managers or directors, any of the holders of five percent (5%) or more of any class of Capital Stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any Affiliate of any such holder or any other Affiliate (other than Subsidiaries) of any Credit Party and (ii) none of the directors or executive officers of any Credit Party or any members of their respective immediate families or any Affiliates of any of such directors, officers or family members are directly or indirectly indebted in any material respect to or have any material direct or indirect ownership, partnership, or voting interest in any Affiliate of any Credit Party or any Person with which any Credit Party has a material business relationship or which competes with any Credit Party in any material respect.

No condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any such permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation, and there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect, except to the extent any such condition, event or claim, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal would not be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) as soon as practicable following the sending or receipt thereof by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, a copy of any and all written communications with respect to (1) any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to a Material Adverse Effect, (2) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency, and (3) any requests for information from any governmental agency that suggests such agency is investigating whether Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to a Material Adverse Effect; and

(iv) prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to (A) expose Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the

104

aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (B) affect the ability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect all material Governmental Authorizations required under any Environmental Laws for their respective operations and (2) any proposed action to be taken by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations in a manner that would reasonably be expected to subject Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under any Environmental Laws.

(b) Hazardous Materials Activities, Etc. Each Credit Party shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all actions necessary to (i) cure any violation of applicable Environmental Laws by such Credit Party or its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) make an appropriate response to any Environmental Claim against such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Right of Access and Inspection. With respect to any event described in Section 5.9(a) that would reasonably be expected to require investigation or remediation pursuant to Environmental Laws, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes that Holdings or any Subsidiary has breached any representation, warranty or covenant related to environmental matters (including those contained in Sections 4.11, 4.14, 5.8 or 5.9):

(i) Administrative Agent and its representatives shall have the right, but not the obligation or duty, to enter the Facilities at reasonable times and upon prior written notice, for the purposes of observing the Facilities. Such access shall include, at the reasonable request of Administrative Agent, access to relevant documents and employees of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and to their outside representatives, to the extent necessary to obtain necessary information related to the event at issue. If an Event of Default relating to an environmental matter that is subject of Section 4.14 or 5.9(a) has occurred and is continuing, the Credit Parties shall conduct such tests and investigations on the Facilities or relevant portion thereof, as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, including the preparation of a Phase I Report or such other sampling or analysis as determined to be necessary under the circumstances by a qualified environmental engineer or consultant. If an Event of Default relating to an environmental matter that is subject of Section 4.14 or 5.9(a) has occurred and is continuing, and if a Credit Party does not undertake such tests and investigations in a reasonably timely manner following the request of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may hire an independent engineer, at the Credit Parties’ expense, to conduct such tests and investigations. Administrative Agent will make all reasonable efforts to conduct any such tests and investigations so as to avoid interfering with the operation of the Facility.

(ii) Any observations, tests or investigations of the Facilities by or on behalf of Administrative Agent shall be solely for the purpose of protecting the Lenders security interests and rights under the Credit Documents. The exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights under this Subsection (c) shall not constitute a waiver of any default of any Credit Party or impose any liability on Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. In no

105

event will any observation, test or investigation by or on behalf of Administrative Agent be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under any of the Facilities, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law and Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to any party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any report or findings with regard thereto. Neither any Credit Party nor any other party is entitled to rely on any observation, test or investigation by or on behalf of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to protect any Credit Party or any other party against, or to inform any Credit Party or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any of the Facilities; provided, that the failure of Administrative Agent to so protect or inform any Credit Party or any other party shall not result in any liability to Administrative Agent except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Administrative Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, disclose to the applicable Credit Party, or to any other party if so required by law, any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, its observations, tests or investigations. If a request is made of Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority to disclose any such report or finding that is non-public to any third party (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority), then, unless specifically prohibited by Environmental Law, Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Credit Party prior to such disclosure and afford such Credit Party the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure at its own and sole cost; provided, that the failure of Administrative Agent to give any such notice or afford such Credit Party the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure shall not result in any liability to Administrative Agent except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Administrative Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it may be obligated to notify relevant Governmental Authorities regarding the results of any observation, test or investigation disclosed to such Credit Party, and that such reporting requirements are site and fact-specific and are to be evaluated by such Credit Party without advice or assistance from Administrative Agent.

(d) If counsel to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries reasonably determines that provision to Administrative Agent of a document otherwise required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.9 (or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document relating to environmental matters) would jeopardize an applicable attorney-client or work product privilege pertaining to such document, then Holdings or its Subsidiary shall not be obligated to deliver such document to Administrative Agent but shall provide Administrative Agent with a notice identifying the author and recipient of such document and generally describing the contents of the document. Upon request of Administrative Agent, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall take all reasonable steps necessary to provide Administrative Agent with the factual information contained in any such privileged document.

5.10 Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall concurrently (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree, acting reasonably) (a) with such Person becoming a Domestic

106

Subsidiary cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder and a Grantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement and an “obligor” under the Intercompany Subordination Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent a Counterpart Agreement, and (b) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are similar to those described in Sections 3.1(d), 3.1(h), 3.1(i), 3.1(l) and 3.1(p) and Section 5.11. In the event that any Person becomes a Foreign Subsidiary of any Credit Party, and the ownership interests of such Foreign Subsidiary are owned by such Credit Party or by any Domestic Subsidiary thereof, such Credit Party shall, or shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to, deliver, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are similar to those described in Sections 3.1(d), and such Credit Party shall take, or shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to take, all of the actions referred to in Section 3.1(i)(i), (iii) and (iv) necessary to grant and to perfect a First Priority Lien in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, under the Pledge and Security Agreement in sixty five percent (65%) of such ownership interests. With respect to each such Subsidiary, Holdings shall promptly send to Administrative Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person (i) the date on which such Person became a Subsidiary of any Credit Party, and (ii) all of the data required to be set forth in Schedules 4.1 and 4.2 with respect to all Subsidiaries of the Credit Parties; provided, such written notice shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 4.1 and 4.2 for all purposes hereof.

5.11 Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event that any Credit Party acquires a Material Real Estate Asset after the Effective Date or a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Effective Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, then such Credit Party, contemporaneously with acquiring such Material Real Estate Asset, or promptly after a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Effective Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset, (a) shall take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments, agreements, title insurance policies, surveys, lien searches, opinions and certificates with respect to each such Material Real Estate Asset that Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to create in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected First Priority security interest in such Material Real Estate Assets; provided, that in the case of any property leased and not owned by a Credit Party as to which any of the foregoing would require the consent of the landlord, the agreements in this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause such landlord to consent to the taking of these actions and to complying with this Section only to the extent that such consent is obtained, and (b) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered a Collateral Access Agreement and/or similar collateral access agreements with respect to each such Material Real Estate Asset that Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. In addition to the foregoing, Borrowers shall, at the request of Requisite Lenders, deliver, from time to time, to Administrative Agent such appraisals as are required by law or regulation of Real Estate Assets with respect to which Collateral Agent has been granted a Lien.

5.12 Interest Rate Protection. No later than 180 days following the date on which the rate determined by clause (B)(i) of the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate has increased to at least 3.50% and has remained at such level for a period of 30 consecutive days,

107

Holdings shall enter into, and shall until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the execution of such Interest Rate Agreement and (ii) the Maturity Date, thereafter maintain, or caused to be maintained, one or more unsecured Interest Rate Agreements with one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent , which Interest Rate Agreements shall effectively limit the Unadjusted LIBOR Rate Component of the interest costs to Holdings with respect to an aggregate notional principal amount of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from time to time (based on the assumption that such notional principal amount was a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of three months) with an annual average cost of which shall not exceed $250,000; provided that such protection may cover less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans if the cost of such Interest Rate Agreement would otherwise exceed $250,000 in any calendar year.

5.13 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents, including providing Lenders with any information reasonably requested pursuant to Section 10.22. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Credit Party shall take such actions as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guarantied by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and all of the outstanding Capital Stock of Holdings’ Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained in the Credit Documents with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries) and shall give Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its acquisition of any asset or assets with a value in excess of $250,000 to the extent that Collateral Agent’s security interest therein to secure the Obligations will not be perfected by the UCC filings or other documents currently in effect at such time.

5.14 Separateness. Unless otherwise consented to by Agents and Requisite Lenders each Credit Party will (i) maintain entity records and books of account separate from those of any other Person, including without limitation intercompany transaction accounts; (ii) not commingle its funds or assets with those of any other Person; (iii) hold all appropriate meetings of its board of directors or other analogous governing body to authorize and approve such entity’s actions, which meetings are separate from those of other entities, and keep separate and accurate minutes of its meetings; (iv) conduct its business in its own name, by its own officers and in accordance with its Organizational Documents; and (v) in general, observe the formalities of a corporation (or limited liability company, if applicable) in all material respects.

5.15 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used by Vonage America in accordance with Section 2.3. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any law, including Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

5.16 Certain Provisions Relating to the Concentration Account.

(a) On each Business Day on and after October 1, 2009, all amounts of Unrestricted Cash in all operating, deposit and other accounts (other than the Concentration Account and the Proceeds Collateral Account) of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of the

108

Sweep Threshold in the aggregate shall, in accordance with the cash management procedures set forth on Schedule 5.16, be deposited into the Concentration Account. If at any time on or after October 1, 2009, the balance in the Concentration Account is less than or equal to the Concentration Account Minimum in effect at such time, the Credit Parties will not have any access to or any right to make withdrawals from the Concentration Account. On and after October 1, 2009, if and so long as the balance in the Concentration Account is in excess of the Concentration Account Minimum then in effect (an “Excess Cash Amount”), Vonage America shall be permitted to withdraw funds held in the Concentration Account in an amount up to the Excess Cash Amount until such time as (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Administrative Agent instructs the Concentration Account Bank to restrict any further access by Vonage America to the Concentration Account and to cease complying with any instructions of Vonage America; provided, that in connection with each such withdrawal of funds and concurrent with Vonage America’s issuing of any related instructions to the Concentration Account Bank to withdraw such funds, Vonage America shall provide notice of such withdrawal (including notice of the amount of funds being withdrawn) to the Administrative Agent.

(b) No increase in Account Restricted Cash in excess of the amount held by the Credit Parties and the Subsidiaries on the Effective Date shall result in a decrease in Unrestricted Cash for purposes of Section 2.12(e) or this Section 5.16 unless after giving effect thereto Holdings is in compliance with the minimum Consolidated Liquidity covenants set forth in Sections 6.7(f)(i), (ii) and (iii) at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the effect of the preceding sentence for purposes of this Section 5.16 is that if the condition set forth in such sentence is not met with respect to an increase in Account Restricted Cash, the Credit Parties shall nonetheless be required on and after October 1, 2009 to cause an amount of Cash or Cash Equivalents equal to such increase to be deposited into the Concentration Account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control over the Concentration Account and may apply any and all amounts on deposit in the Concentration Account to prepay the Loans and to pay any other Obligation in any order or manner as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable. No third party shall have any rights in or claims to the Concentration Account, except (i) Permitted Depository Claims or (ii) pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein.

(d) To the extent that the Concentration Account Bank allows funds in the Concentration Account to be invested in Cash Equivalents, then so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the funds in the Concentration Account shall be invested in such Cash Equivalents as Vonage America may from time to time direct. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole right, but shall not be obligated, to cause the funds in the Concentration Account to be invested in such Cash Equivalents as Administrative Agent may from time to time direct.

5.17 Source Code Escrow Arrangements. Holdings shall (i) update the Deposit Materials in accordance with the Source Code Escrow Agreement and (ii) comply with all obligations under the Source Code Escrow Agreement.

5.19 Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Each Credit Party shall pledge to the Collateral Agent any interests it may have at any time under any Intercompany Arrangement to which it is a party in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement (or, with respect to the UK Subsidiary, the relevant UK Collateral Document, if applicable). Each counterparty to each Intercompany Arrangement (including any Foreign Subsidiary party thereto) in existence on or entered into by a Credit Party after the Effective Date shall expressly acknowledge such pledge in writing for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall agree not to permit such Intercompany Arrangements to be amended, modified, waived or terminated in any manner that violates the provisions set forth in this Agreement relating to Intercompany Arrangements without the consent of Administrative Agent.

110

(b) All Intercompany Arrangements entered into on or after the Effective Date shall be in writing, unsecured and on arm’s-length commercially reasonable terms consistent with past business practices as reflected in the Intercompany Arrangements referred to in Section 4.33 as determined by each party thereto in good faith. The parties to the Master Subordinated Intercompany Note shall set the interest rate thereon on an arm’s-length basis.

(c) To the extent that any Intercompany Arrangement contains a license of Intellectual Property (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement), the Credit Party that is the licensor thereunder hereby consents to the assumption of such license by the licensee in any bankruptcy proceeding of the licensee and the assignment thereof by the licensee in such proceeding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Credit Parties shall be permitted to make investments in, transfer assets to and make payments to any other Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries other than pursuant to Intercompany Arrangements that comply with the provisions of this Agreement relating solely to Intercompany Arrangements in an aggregate amount for all Credit Parties from the Effective Date to the Stated Maturity Date not in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate, but subject in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary to the dollar limitations set forth in Section 6.6(k) or (n).

(e) Each Credit Party and each of their Subsidiaries shall reconcile and settle all intercompany trade obligations on a monthly basis in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the applicable Intercompany Arrangements. To the extent necessary to enable a Foreign Subsidiary to satisfy its intercompany trade obligations on any monthly settlement date as required by the preceding sentence, Vonage America shall, if and to the extent it is permitted to do so under Section 6.6(k), (n) or (o), as applicable, make a loan on such date to such Foreign Subsidiary in the amount needed for such purpose. Such loan shall be recorded on the books of such Foreign Subsidiary and shall meet the requirements of Section 6.1(b) or (t), as applicable. All such loans will be treated as Indebtedness for borrowed money for purposes of the Intercompany Subordination Agreement.

Holdings shall allow the Tender Offer to expire on or prior to the Funding Date.

5.25 Material Breaches. Following any material breach (i) by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx of the Citron Employment Agreement or (ii) by Xxxx X. Xxxxx of the Lefar Employment Agreement, Holdings shall exercise all of its rights and remedies provided by law to be compensated for all damages, losses, claims and expenses arising out of or in connection with such material breach, including, without limitation, the right to require the breaching party to account for and pay to Holdings all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such breaching party as a result of any transaction constituting such material breach.

5.26 Non-Public Information Disclosure. On the day of its earnings conference call to discuss the earnings press release with respect to the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2008, Holdings will be required to represent to Silver Point and the other Lenders (in an officer’s certificate of Holdings) that, immediately after such call, all material non-public information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries that was provided to Silver Point or its Affiliates prior to the Funding Date (the “Pre-Closing Information”) either has been disclosed or is no longer material, and that as a result, the possession by Silver Point and its Affiliates of the Pre-Closing Information does not restrict trading in the securities of Holdings by the “public side” of Silver Point and its Affiliates as of the third full trading day after the date of such representation (such third full trading day, the “First Unrestricted Day”). Silver Point will cooperate reasonably with Holdings in its effort to identify such material non-public information provided to Silver Point and its Affiliates prior to the Funding Date and will institute informational walls such that the “public side” of Silver Point and its Affiliates does not receive material, non-public information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries on or after the Funding Date.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1 Guaranty of the Obligation. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code , 11 U.S.C. §362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of foreign or domestic, federal or state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such

132

Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrowers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrowers’ becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent it may legally do so, as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrowers and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

133

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (it being understood that no such renewal, extension, acceleration, increase or other change relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be effective, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement (including the Collateral Documents), including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to

134

events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby, to the fullest extent it may legally do so, waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement

135

related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness or any other obligations of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) to make payments to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party under any Intercompany Arrangement shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in the Intercompany Subordination Agreement.

7.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

136

7.9 Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10 Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Credit Extension may be made to any Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of such Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrowers and their ability to perform their obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrowers now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or admit in writing or in any legal proceeding that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrowers of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are

137

rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not a Credit Party in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale, merger or consolidation.

7.13 Taxes. The provisions of Section 2.18 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Guarantors and payments thereby.

7.14 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, and agrees to, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to any Credit Party or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Credit Party agrees to make each Communication that such Credit Party does not intend to be made available to Public Lenders clearly and conspicuously designated by such Credit Party as “PRIVATE” on both the Communication itself and on the electronic message pursuant to which such Communication is transmitted to Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party authorizes each Communication (except any Communication that is designated as “PRIVATE” in the manner provided in the preceding sentence) to be made available to a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” and acknowledges that such information will not be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 10.18 and will be deemed by the Lenders to be information that is either publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Credit Parties and their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws.

(c) No Warranties as to Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNITEES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE

148

PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE INDEMNITEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNITEES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNITEES IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE ORDER BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH INDEMNITEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(d) Delivery Via Platform. Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by Administrative Agent at its electronic mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such electronic mail address.

(e) No Prejudice to Notice Rights. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

9.10 Proofs of Claim. The Lenders and Borrowers hereby agree that after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1(f) or (g), in case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower or any of the Guarantors, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any of Borrowers or any of the Guarantors) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

149

(b) to collect and receive any moneys 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 Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent and other agents hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Further, nothing contained in this Section 9.10 shall affect or preclude the ability of any Lender to (i) file and prove such a claim in the event that Administrative Agent has not acted within ten (10) days prior to any applicable bar date and (ii) require an amendment of the proof of claim to accurately reflect such Lender’s outstanding Obligations.

9.11 Agents and Arrangers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement (or any other Credit Document) other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, such arrangers shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it is a party or in taking or not taking action hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to a Credit Party, or an Agent, shall be sent to such Person’s address as set forth on Appendix B or in the other relevant Credit Document, and in the case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Appendix B or otherwise indicated to Administrative Agent in writing. Each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided, no notice to any Agent shall be effective until received by such Agent.

10.2 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Credit Parties agree to pay promptly, and in any event within five (5) days after written demand therefore, (a) the fees, and reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents (including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents, (ii) any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, and any other documents or matters requested by Borrowers and (iii) any lender meetings pursuant to Section 5.7; (b) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured

150

Parties pursuant hereto, including filing and recording fees, expenses and amounts owed pursuant to Section 2.18(c) and (d), search fees, title insurance premiums and fees, reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that any Agent or Requisite Lenders may reasonably request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents; (c) all the actual and reasonable costs and fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers, whether internal or external, employed by the Agents in connection with the Transactions; (d) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by Collateral Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (e) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and the Commitments and the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (f) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

10.3 Indemnity.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit

151

Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

10.4 Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender, and its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts (in whatever currency)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party (in whatever currency) against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured or (c) such obligation or liability is owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation or such Indebtedness.

10.5 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of (I) in the case of this Agreement, the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders or (II) in the case of any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent and, if party thereto, Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders and, if required by this Agreement and such other Credit Documents, the applicable Credit Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no Affiliated Lender shall (i) have the right to vote in respect to any amendments, modifications, terminations, waivers or consents in connection with the Credit Documents or any other action in respect thereof (and its Loans shall not be counted in determining whether any such vote has been obtained), (ii) participate in any meetings of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time, (iii) receive any information regarding Holdings or its Subsidiaries generated by entities other than Holdings, or (iv) have any other rights under the Credit Documents other than economic rights, provided, that “economic rights” shall include, without limitation, rights to (x) receive any fees paid generally to Lenders or to consenting Lenders in connection with waivers and amendments under this Agreement, (y) sell or grant assignments of and participations in its Loans in a manner that otherwise complies with the requirements of this Agreement in respect of assignments and participations of Loans and (z) vote on matters affecting its economic rights pursuant to Section 10.5(b).

152

(b) Affected Lenders’ Consent. In addition to the consents required by Section 10.5(a), without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender in the case of clauses (i) through (x) below and other than any Affiliated Lender in the case of clauses (vii) through (ix) below only) that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note of such Lender;

(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment due such Lender (but not any mandatory prepayment or any Preliminary IP Event Prepayment);

(iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan of such Lender (other than any amendment to the definition of “Default Rate” (which may be effected by consent of the Requisite Lenders) and any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.8) or any fee payable hereunder;

(iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees to such Lender;

(v) reduce the principal amount of any Loan;

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 10.5(b) or Section 10.5(c);

(vii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”; provided, with the consent of Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Loans are included on the Effective Date;

(viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents;

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document; or

(x) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default after the Effective Date shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender.

provided, however, that the Fee Letter may be amended or modified, or the rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party

153

therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any fee or other compensation is payable to any Lender, in its capacity as a Lender, in consideration for the granting of a consent to an amendment or waiver hereunder, the same compensation shall be paid to all similarly situated Lenders. For example, and without limitation, any amendment fee payable to any Lender in connection with a consent or waiver shall be payable to all Lenders that provide such consent or waiver by any applicable deadline established for such consent or waiver, and all Lenders shall receive reasonable advance notice (taking into account the facts and circumstances of such consent and waiver) of any such deadline.

(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender (other than any Affiliated Lender), execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and each Credit Party.

(e) Certain Voting Procedures Relating to Preliminary IP Events. The Preliminary IP Event Schedule sets forth certain procedures for exemption requests thereunder, including procedures for obtaining the vote of Lenders in connection therewith. Among other things, only those Lenders who execute a standard Community of Interest Agreement, protecting Holdings’ attorney-client privilege, shall be eligible to review any documentation, attend any meetings, participate in the voting and have their vote counted for purposes of those procedures.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party 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, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by

154

Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Solely for the purposes of maintaining the Register and for tax purposes only Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Credit Parties.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitments):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent; and

(ii) to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee with the consent of Administrative Agent; provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Holdings and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Loans; provided that the foregoing minimum assignment amounts shall not apply (x) to any assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of the assignor; or (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing; and provided further that, solely with respect to any assignment effected during the period prior to the Funding Date, (A) if the proposed assignee is a Person constituting an Eligible Assignee under clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such assignment prior to the Funding Date shall be subject to the consent of Administrative Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and (B) if the assignee fails to fund any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans on the Funding Date and neither Administrative Borrower nor Administrative Lender elects to cause such assignee’s Commitment in respect of such portion to be assigned to an Eligible Assignee as provided in Section 2.2(b), then (x) the assigning Lender shall be required to fund such portion on the Funding Date, (y) such assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender shall be automatically reinstated as a Lender with respect to such portion of the Loans for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.18(e).

155

(e) Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and Holdings and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.9) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrowers shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(h) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation (a “Participant”), other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the rate

156

or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except any amendment to the definition of “Default Rate” or in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled, through the participating Lender, to the benefits of Sections 2.16(c), 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 or 2.18 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 Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent, and (ii) a Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Borrowers and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

10.7 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Administrative Borrower, the option to provide to Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loans and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the

157

Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, any Borrower or Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. Borrowers acknowledge and agree, subject to the next sentence, that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each SPC, for purposes of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, shall be considered a Lender. Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no grant been made by a Granting Lender to a SPC.

10.8 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.16(c), 2.17, 2.18, 10.2 and 10.3 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.15, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

10.10 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

158

10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

10.12 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.

The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.18 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their businesses clearly identified as such by Holdings and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrowers that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) on a need to know, confidential basis only, disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.18), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bonafide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) (provided, such bonafide or potential assignees, transferees and participants and such counterparties and advisors referred to in this clause (ii) are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.18), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided, that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures to any Lender’s financing sources, provided that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information and that such information is being provided on a confidential basis only, (v) disclosure of information which (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.18 or (B) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties that is not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acting in violation of a confidentiality agreement with any Credit Party, and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Effective Date, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense, issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals

161

and other appropriate media. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.18, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the Tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to an understanding of the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the transaction (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could reasonably result in a violation of any applicable securities law.

10.19 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.21 Effectiveness. Subject to Section 3.1 with respect to conditions to effectiveness of the Lenders’ Commitments, this Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

162

10.22 Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.23 Disclosure and Equity Holder Information. Each Credit Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, and make other loans to, or have other relationships with any of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, including the ownership, purchase and sale of equity interests in Holdings and each Credit Party and each Lender hereby expressly consents to such relationships. In addition, each Credit Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that (i) the Borrowers have borrowed the Second Lien Term Loans pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) the Borrowers have issued the Convertible Third Lien Notes pursuant to the Third Lien Note Purchase Agreement and (iii) Silver Point, which is acting as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as of the Effective Date (and is also funding some of the Loans, either directly or through its Affiliates), is also (A) the Second Lien Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and (B) the Third Lien Note Agent and the Third Lien Collateral Agent under the Third Lien Note Purchase Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent, its Affiliates and/or their respective Related Funds (i) may have representatives on the board of directors of Holdings and (ii) will have information related to the Credit Parties (“Equity Holder Information”) that is not provided or made available to the Lenders. All information provided to the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates and/or their respective Related Funds regarding the Credit Parties shall be deemed to be Equity Holder Information, unless expressly stated to be, or expressly required or contemplated by this Agreement or a Collateral Document to be delivered to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to provide any Lender with Equity Holder Information.

10.24 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

10.25 Advertising and Publicity. No Credit Party shall issue or disseminate to the public (by advertisement, including without limitation any “tombstone” advertisement, press release or otherwise), submit for publication or otherwise cause or seek to publish any information describing the credit or other financial accommodations made available by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to prohibit any Credit Party from making any submission or filing which it is required to make by applicable law or pursuant to judicial process; provided, that, (i) such filing or submission shall contain only such information as is necessary to

163

comply with applicable law or judicial process and (ii) unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the requirement to make such submission or filing and provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

10.26 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.
